vencabot https://xcdr.tv/c/vencabot/videos https://twitch.tv/vencabot | live 5 nights a week https://youtube.com/vencabotarchive | new uploads daily On top of regular gameplay streams, I also run events where I commentate over public domain media: films, for instance, as a part of our channel's regular 'Pizza and a Movie' events. Because I'm very particular about video quality, I spend many hours searching the Archive, YouTube, and bittorrent to make sure that I'm using the highest quality public domain footage for the show. After downloading every single file that I can find, I painstakingly compare them all side-by-side to ensure the finest detail, the smoothest animation, the fullest length, and the least cropping -- and once I've decided on a favorite, I upload it here so that nobody else has to go through that same headache. None of my own content is uploaded here on XCDR, so don't worry about listening to me blab over the movies; go to YouTube for that!

It only looks MARGINALLY better than what's available already here on the Archive, but I'm a stickler like that!

Thank you to the original ripper and seeders! By uploading this here, I'm hoping that it'll  be easier for others to find.

This is a video that I downloaded from YouTube because it looks slightly better, to me, than what's currently available on the Archive: the contrast is better, the sound quality is much better, and the macroblocking is a big improvement.

That being said, the bitrate is surprisingly low -- and, much more importantly, the animation is bizarrely uneven. Still, when watching the film, this is the version that I chose, and I have no idea of where it comes from (where the YouTube uploader first got it). The cropping is also somewhat different compared to what else is available here on the Archive.

As long as you can get over the uneven framerate, you might appreciate this alternative to what's currently available, here.

At the time of upload, it looks and sounds much nicer than anything else available on the Archive. For the record, it's one of those situations where the bitrate is lower than a couple of other uploads on the Archive, but that's just do to the sloppy encodes on those other uploads; they don't look or sound anywhere near as good, I think you'll agree.

Alongside this, I'm also uploading a version that I found on YouTube, which has a much smoother picture and a better rendition of the score (in my opinion), but which has a much choppier frame-rate that makes THIS version the winner, for me.

There is another rip available, here, of the same Blu-Ray, but it was compressed further (who's trying to save disk space, anymore?) and loses quality due to over-filtering (loss of fine detail as 'noise' is misidentified and smoothed away). Judging from the file size, though, I believe that this rip is still a lossy conversion from the Blu-Ray, so a higher-quality version may yet be uploaded in the future.

As always, thank you to the original ripper and to all of the seeders of the torrent that this file came from. I think that the Archive is a more convenient home for it, though, considering it's public domain status.
