There's also a discussion group you're free to join. Episodes will be uploaded as I compress them at my own pace, about 1GB per episode, both original and remastered versions (with appropriate audio tracks), and subtitles included in the file (you will have to open the files in another app that supports subtitles).

My goal is to eventually have all of TOS, TAS, TNG, VOY, DS9, and ENT up along with all the films.

Did I forget to mention I'll also be uploading special features at the end of each season? Because I'll be uploading special features at the end of each season.

As of April 2, 2024, all content promised has been uploaded and I consider the archive complete.

Intensive chroma smoothing was done to get rid of the rainbowing, to pretty good success. For whatever reason, at the exact same quality setting as my DS9 uploads, some of these Voyager episodes were coming out nearly twice the size of DS9 episodes. After one episode came out over 2GB, which is absurd for 45min. of slightly above SD video, I ticked down my CRF in x264 from 16 to 17 (higher numbers mean lower quality, and it scales logarithmically), and that seemed to bring things under control while still maintaining exceptional quality for MPEG-2 video re-encoded to H.264.

Anyways, I've been moving at a pretty tight pace lately, so the next batch of uploads (Season 4 of Deep Space Nine) may go up before the week is out!

My TOS uploads are taken from the official blu-ray sets, which includes both the remastered versions (new CGI effects and 5.1ch audio) and the original versions (original effects and mono audio). I uploaded both versions so anyone can choose between them!

Ahhh, haha, sorry about that guy. He actually runs a much larger movie and TV piracy telegram channel (or network of channels) and he's the one who encouraged me to get into ripping stuff for telegram in the first place, so I owe him a bit and he can kinda be thanked for me deciding to do this project at all. He's a fine dude but he's very Edgy. Like the kind of guy to call someone a tr*nny but still consider them a friend. Different side of the internet entirely from where we spend most of the time :p

I think he was calling you a "fed" just because you use a full legal name as your telegram name, as a gag.

I told him to stop being an asshole to people I welcome into my chat that I own, though. He can keep that attitude and behavior to the stuff he owns and moderates. Sorry for the rude first impression. :eggbug-smile-hearts:
