hmm. i took a look at abcfamily. their stream is much better than this webrip.
it looks like kpm did not do a rip but a screen capture.
i tried to rip the stream myself and for some reason my flash video ripping
software chokes on it.
if anyone can get a true webrip to work with it'd probably be the best option.
in the mean time i'll keep pluggin' away that the vhsrip.

there's a subtle difference between complaining, and observing that something is
below the quality that one would want to watch.
telling people to "grow up", or calling them "whiners", because they would
rather watch a show they enjoy with the complete picture, and at least at
analogue broadcast quality, seems the height of immaturity to me.
no one is ungrateful to the ripper. however, it's an incredibly poor quality
video so many would rather wait for something more aesthetically pleasing. that
doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

be careful what you are saying from now on if you want to be part of this

i'm genuinely surprised. i thought my post was polite and reasoned, in response
to people calling others names.
i apologise unreservedly for any offense caused.
admin: sorry but first the tamagotchis whine, moan and groan that there is no
ep02. then spevman comes to the rescue and puts times and effort to post a
perfectly watchable version. granted not scene cap quality but it allows you to
watch the episode. then eztv puts it up so that people do not have to go search
for it. you could maybe think people is thankful. but no sir no.
the the 'gotchis whine, moan and groan that they want quality. so for once if
they so want they should wait in their crapholes for the scene cap of a rerun or
buy the dvds when they come out. and for second they had it coming and rightly
so about being a gaggle of whiners.
hey i am always appreciative to anyone that does this! coz we either won't
see "these" series or they won't arrive here (australia) for at least another
year. so everyone should just think of it as soft focus

i actually liked the first one a little but could see it wasn't going to make
the cut. very bad acting and just ok writing.
oh! rumor is file list dot org got busted and they are being run by the feds
so just stay away for a few weeks from that site to be safe.

you're welcome. you may now bitch liberally about the quality.

when the scene forget to cap a show a webrip is a godsend so thanks to spev
for the upload. however there is a dsr rip released which i have downloaded &
the quality is typical abc family , anybody who's downloaded numerous kyle xy
& greek eps will know what i mean. ie great just not sharp hdtv.

no really, i have the dsr, it's not as good as the one i put on mininova.
the dsr is 29.97 (which burns bitrate), has full black borders (which burns
bitrate), and is undersized (331mb) making it look overcompressed.
the pdtv version i put up is brought to us by a capper who wishes to remain
anonymous. (missing one word at 42:30.)
