Video Seeding Guidelines
Greetings,
Thanks for the forum. I just had a torrent pulled because, apparantly, i did not follow the video seeding guidelines. Could someone please help me clarify what i did wrong? The thread sits in the "pulled" folder here - http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...5511#post15511 I see that the identified problems were as follows: 5. All seeds must contain a complete and accurate lineage. What would the proper lineage be if i simply extracted all files directly from the DVD onto my HD, into a titled folder? 6. All seeds must contain a correct md5 checksum of the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder. I did have an md5 posted in the thread. Perhaps i did this incorrectly. 7. All seeds must include the video system (NTSC or PAL), audio codec and bitrate information in the info file. I identified NTSC, which i believe to be the video system. I am not sure how to determine the video bitrate, audio codec, and audio bitrate, however. How do i do this? Any help is greatly appreciated. I would like to get this down so i can seed video in the future. Regards, jefferson

Re: Video Seeding Guidelines
5. You need to make a lineage that contains the most information you can give it. In this case, it's not much, Aud-Shot > super 8mm film > VHSx > DVDR. Just something that people can glance at and figure out what this has been through, to the best of your knowledge.
6. This part looks fine to me already, I think you've done it right 7. NTSC is indeed the video system. We've asked for people to include the audio and video bitrates, and it's fairly simple to get these with a program called "GSpot". Here's a link to a quick tutorial I put up to help people get this information from their DVD: http://www.audiophilia.net/gspot.htm I really appreciate your desire to seed here, and I'll help you make sure you get everything needed to get this seed rolling. Understand we're being a bit more picky here than other sites, but also hoping that we'll gain some respect in the community as a consequence.

Re: Video Seeding Guidelines
Thanks RainDawg. I've given it another shot. Please let me know if things still are not right.

Re: Video Seeding Guidelines
Anyone else find it redundant to include md5's
Personally, I think its bogus. BT already checks it. No one includes MD5's when they burn a dvd. Its just not necessary. As for audio codec information. This is video. Does anyone really care what codec's are needed for your dvd player to play it? I'm really hesitant to start seeding here just because of how strict things appear to be with video. Back on the groove, as long as it was seeded correctly and you had the best version being torrented...no one gave a shit if you didn't include every last person who had it before you.

Re: Video Seeding Guidelines
Well, the basic difference is that we have a proper forum, where they've opted to keep it just to a tracker.
The major problem I have with them is their complete inability to enforce any QC. I still download a lot of stuff from there, but find myself spending less and less time looking through stuff as the average quality of each seed decreases.

Unfortunately, unchecked, bands will start banning dvd trading/seeding because the community is gone. People would rather just click once and get something then to actually have to interact, and EZT takes advantage of that...which bites us seeders in the ass, because it does promote leaching.

I think you might be over reacting to the EZT shortcomings (of which there are many), when you compare what is being attempted here. And this concept that "leeching" is somehow hurtful is another misconception in the BT community. I'll state this again. Bram Cohen did not design Bit Torrent to be a self sustaining distribution medium. He intended it to be a short term yet effective means of distributing stuff to a group (small or large) over a short period of time. "Leeching" in BT terms is the same as "Peering", which means that EVERYONE who's downloading is leeching from the swarm. As far as "People would rather just click once and get something then to actually have to interact", well count me in. I OFTEN just click and download without getting into a discussion about the torrent. It's the MUSIC that I want to hear, not necessarily the BS, tho I do try to post a thank you more often than not. I'll also point out flaws and lineage mistakes if I catch them, in the interests of attempting to keep the trading pool a bit cleaner. I think that puts me squarely IN the community, yet I keep a fairly low profile at EZT. I don't understand your unfounded fear about "bands will ban dvd trading/seeding if the community is gone". Bands don't care about community. They care about making music, making money, protecting their intellectual property and (hopefully) care about their fans being treated fairly (all of these not in any particular order). There are even bands who don't subscribe to all these tenents who would ban stuff IF they found out it was being distributed.... How does any of this relate to the EZT community ??? I'm sorry man.. nothing personal, but I just don't see your point. Nothing much has changed at EZT beyond the exponential growth. Lousy QC ratio + unchecked growth = poor average of outstanding material. That's all. /EOR... have a great nite ! No members have liked this post.

Plus, it would be nice to stay OT for the thread. The discussion has nothing to do with "if you're in a band, do you care about the community" The discussion is "bands only allow DVD trading BECAUSE they care about the community" I happen to think that the latter statement is naive and self serving. (no offense intended to either of you). No members have liked this post.
