Matroska is the name of the container. It has 3 file types: .mkv for video, .mka for audio and .mks for subtitles. Parang Windows Media... may .wmv for video and .wma for audio. Matroska is to Windows Media, while .mkv is to .wmv, .avi, etc.

matindi ang rules dun bro, pag di mo namaintain yung upload rate ration mo in a span no of days pati yung nag-invite sa yo pede ma-block sa site, i am a member of those site, so takot din ako mag-bigay ng invites

hi guys, question po. what converted would you recommended for converting MKV file to VOD (playstation readable format). I actually tried mkv2vod converter but have had some problems with the converted file itself ( when i try to open or access the file, naghahang explorer ko and then restarts ). ALso, lakas kumain ng resources. Umaabot sa 100% utilization lahat ng cores ko (QCORE 6600) and umaabot din sa maximum RAM ko (2g).

momay · « **Reply #103 on:** Feb 02, 2009 at 12:36 PM »

why not just transcode. if the codec used on your mkv's is h.264, you can just tsmuxer. no encoding will be done. or just use ps3 media server and transcoding will be done on the fly.

Don't really know how to do that Sir..

guys help,

I have been searching a zillion times in the internet on how to avoid internet connection drops during BT downloading and wala pa talaga akong nakikitang definite na solution. Some suggestions were decreasing the global connection, limiting upload speed, port forwarding, port mapping, firmware upgrades, QoS management, etc. I have tried all of these but to no avail. I have even put my PC under DMZ mode, allowed all TCP UDP packets without any restrictions under NAT endpoint filtering pero wala padin. RTO's pinging my router that has normal ping of less than a milliseconds, tapos mag RRTO? Madami nadin akong modifications na ginawa sa router ganon padin. ALmost all of the possibilities nagawa ko na. NAgpalit nadin ako ng router, take note, ung mahal pa na router (DLINK 655) expecting that it could handle bulk of traffic but I ended up disappointed. Pero kapag rekta ko sa modem ung PC, wala naman problema.. Hindi nagddrop ang connection. May mga recommendations/solutions po ba ang mga masters natin dito?

nakakabagal ba ng internet speed while download ka..

2mbps kasi dsl ko and napansin ko while downloading stuff nalabas sa speedtest less than 1mbps lang pero pag close ko yung bittorrent saka siya naabot sa 2mbps speed..

Yes of course. All online things you do share the same pie. Pag nasagad ang bandwidth sa isang function, the rest will suffer or the rest will queue.

nakakabadtrip yung mga ganyang private trackers. dati nag maintain ako ng more than 50 na ratio sa moviex, wala ring nangyari. nadesolve.di yung ratio ko kundi yung tracker.

milken · « **Reply #111 on:** Jul 28, 2009 at 10:38 AM »

@joeyrodil and momay,
Marami naman ibang private trackers dyan. i don't keep my eggs in one basket ika nga. hd-bits.ro ang may min. 10gb traffic per month. pangit na yung site. hdbits 4gb min. per month. ibang tracker halos no minimum. for starters, hd-torrent, which opens up from time to time, is not bad imo. easy to maintain ratio.

eksi · « **Reply #112 on:** Sep 13, 2009 at 09:24 AM »

Anyone po using smart bro for download?
natuwa kasi ako kasi the download speed increased by 50%

i don't know if it's because of smart bro improvements or
it's because of the torrent source

vista basic will do just fine.

anything above that OS, i won't recommend.

But Acer has a N330 inside. Isn't that dual core already? I need a PC for 24/7, no noise, less electricity, etc.

Bro would the .srt subtitle run with mkvs or do I have to convert it to .mks?

For downloading files, just buy an old P4 desktop. Most of them specially the branded ones like Fujitsu, IBM or Compaq are cheap nowadays in surplus shops. They cost something like P5k and below. I've got an old Fujitsu desktop with a 150 watt powersupply running on Linux Mint. I just transfer my downloaded files to an external HDD.

Here's a source of those old desktops.

Personally I do not suggest having an HTPC and a torrent downloader in one machine. If one of your downloads have a bad virus, spyware or malware it will surely slow down your system. Most HTPCs need higher wattage powersupplies because of the demands of the CPU. Have a separate low powered PC dedicated only for 24/7 downloads and just use your HTPC when you need it.

DonT · « **Reply #119 on:** Sep 14, 2009 at 02:39 PM »

Maybe an old Notebook would be better than an old PC as far downloading files are concerned..(less power consumption)
