PLEASE SEED!

AS THE UPLOADER, I SHALL SEED FROM TWO LOCATIONS FOR A RATIO OF 30, AFTER THAT THE COMMUNITY MUST SEED.



Tech Talk

I have three versions of DS9 at my disposal, to use as source.

- Webrip

At 24 fps, it has silky smooth motion. All movements, specially SFX are very smooth. Picture quality is second best.

- NTSC DVD rips

This is at 29.997 fps (30). Resolution is a typical 720x480i. If ripped correctly and then de-interlaced using Ai, this version yields the best picture quality, but there is a flaw! Movements, at times are juddery. I believe the original footage was badly frame rate changed causing duplicate frames to creep in, at times.

- PAL DVD rips

These are at 25 fps. Resolution is 768x576i. Despite the higher resolution, picture had less detail. Like an over-filtering. However the movements are super smooth just as good as the webrips.



I have used whichever that yielded a better overall results for each season.

The tell-tale is the fps!



Description

DS9 first three seasons generally have low picture quality. From S04 there is a distinct quality jump. If you have access to a streaming service, or even original DVDs, confirm it for yourselves. So prepare yourselves for a bit better picture & better SFX.

So enjoy season four, at a bit better picture quality from this season on.
