Rules

General Rules

  • Always send your whole list.

  • ​If you contact me first, you must send your stuff first.

  • Your list must include the Title, Location, Date, Cast, and File Format for each item, if it is known. Nothing labeled “OBC”, please. Check Encora's database for help with finding information.

  • Unless I tell you otherwise, do not share my links.

  • Please check that all your links are working before sending them. If any file is corrupt or not downloadable, I reserve the right to request a different bootleg from your list.

  • No rips or links from streaming sites like YouTube.

  • Wait at least one week for a response before sending a follow-up email.

The links I send you will be up for at least a month. If they go down before that, contact me and I'll put them up again. They will never be permanent though, so if you don't want to lose the links, re-host/import them yourself.

Ratios and Special Labels

  • 1 HD (≥1080p) Video = 2 SD (VOB) Video = 4 Audio

  • 1 SD Video = 2 Audio

  • NFT = Not For Trade

  • TO BE GIFTED ONLY = I will probably gift this so long as you ask politely.

  • LIMITED TRADE = These items have a higher trading ratio. Things are only marked this way if the master asked it to be, or if it was given to me on the condition it would be marked this way.

  • (u/s) = Understudy

  • (alt) = Alternate

  • (t/r) = Temporary Replacement

  • (s/b), (st/by) = Standby

  • (g/p) = Guest Performer

  • (s/w) = Swing

Contact Me

When emailing me, include:

  • A link to your full list.

  • A list of what you want, with each item marked as an audio/video.

  • Which of my wants you have, if any.

Information

What is HD and SD?

Unlike SD VOBs (which are Standard Definition DVDs), High Definition files are any files that have a resolution of 720p or higher. This includes HD Bluray files. Bluray filetypes are ISO and MKV which are lossless containers for the M2TS files.

All HD files listed here are 1080p or higher. 720p is kinda considered fake HD nowadays, haha. All HD files are the original ones released by the master except if they are Remasters or Encodes.

If you want specifics on any particular file, please ask and they will be provided.

What is an Encode?

This is the Bluray but made smaller in size. The quality is indistinguishable from the Bluray. If you're really a stickler for the original files, the Bluray is for you. But if you want something that's quicker to download and virtually the same high quality, the Encode is for you.

For the tech people among you, here are the settings the videos were encoded to using RipBot264:
