Caprica

My Blu-Ray rips are always taken DIRECTLY from the actual blu-rays, not re-encodings of an earlier h264 torrent, and not "filled in" with web downloads. HEVC is a superb machine, but it should be given quality raw materials.


This is the complete first and only season of Caprica from 2010. This includes the extended and uncensored pilot episode.


The series was only released on Blu-ray in a few territories, including France, and as part of a later BSG box set; this is ripped from the French blu-ray, but with English audio and subtitles.


This is an h265 (HEVC) 10 bit LE 2 pass high quality 1080p rip.


I used x265 to create a VBR in 2 passes, at an average of 1200-1400kbps and peak of 3000kbps, using the "slower" preset. On some of the episodes I had to increase the bandwidth - there is a lot of high movement dark fighting, which does use a lot of bandwidth.


The audio is 5.1 AC3 at 384kbps.


The English subtitles are included in the stream (not hardcoded) - it defaults to the forced English, used where characters speak Tauronese, but only in the pilot; the English translation of Tauranese is hardcoded into the images (not by me) for the remaining episodes.


I think x265 has done a good job, creating a very good reproduction of the original blu ray files, at a fraction of the original size.


Enjoy, and please, please, continue to seed after you have downloaded. Please click on a screenshot to view the full version.
