Guide for getting new TMNT episodes from IRC

[Karpo_007]

Ok since many people have been asking, I decided to make a thread about it.[I whould apreciate if one of the general mods would sticky this]
[...]
If you have any questions, Please do ask, Im happy to help!

[Edit: Sorry, Karpo, I had to remove part of your post (and a couple of replies). Please see my reply on page 2 of this thread. --Krang]

[tekcop]

Yeah, I noticed. But, the tmnt-files site did say you were moving.

[Karpo_007]

I updated the news. As for now, we are staying. The changes on server shouldn't affect us, but if they do, then we will move.

[Vespera Blaze]

Karpo you are a fantastic person!!! Thank you so much for the guide on how to get files.

*Off to sing his praises in the middle of the street*


MWA!!!!

[PWDESAI]

dude karpo, i don't think we should keep doing this, we don't want krang to get in trouble, his site could get shut down for talking about this stuff... I think the general public knows about the cahns already, no need to go overboard..

[Karpo_007]

There is nothing illegal in it. Besides, we have had IRC related topic here for a long time.

Karpo you are a fantastic person!!! Thank you so much for the guide on how to get files.

*Off to sing his praises in the middle of the street*


MWA!!!!

No problem. There are many people to whom downloading is the only option.

[PWDESAI]

Umm except the fact the downloading episodes IS illegal.... especially the new toon. It's very illegal karpo, I know there have been threads before this, but now with the new toon, the execs are going to start checking these types of sites, they do with www.he-man.org all the time. Thetechnodrome could get in a lot of trouble, and i think it best if we just stopped making new threads. No offense or anything but i'm just saying...
btw #Ninja-turtles is not my channel, it's everyones channel... I mean everyone is welcome, sure i founded it, but where would i be if no one joined? I really think of it as a branch of 80s-cartoons since they really help bring in people.
ttyl :)

[Karpo_007]

The episodes are free on TV, this is totally diffrent from IE DVD rips. I really doubt there will be any problems. I mean TMNT-files has it's own forums, and discussion is not illegal. Neither is posting guides how to get shared files. Krang should not in any case have any problems. But of course if he decided to ban Filesharing as a topic here, I will respect his decision.

[PWDESAI]

actually it's quite illegal in many ways...
Why do you think so many sites say you shouldn't talk about this sort of thing. Here are a few reasons
1. you don't own it, or the rights to it
2. What if they were to come out on dvd, and u were sharing them that no one wanted them. It's actually tremendously illegal, just not as much as you said dvd rips. If i were you i would keep a low profile on the channel. You do the #tmnt-files site isn't as mainstream as this one. I mean you have like 99 members to the forums...

[Karpo_007]

That forum has 99 members, and Like I said, it is Krangs decicion.

[PWDESAI]

I changed it to 99, and yes it is krangs decision.

[Only1Don?]

hey Karpo cant thank you enough. But when I put !list nothing happens

[Karpo_007]

Hmm... That is weird. If you come to channel see if I can help you out.

[Only1Don?]

thanks, Im there

[Karpo_007]

I hope that helped!

[Only1Don?]

it did thanks a ton

[DarthRaphael]

Stickied!!!

[darthsmozers]

what server? :(

Im using X-Chat since mIRC crashed my laptop...what do i do?

[Karpo_007]

Im not familiar with that software, but the servers is [...].

[Edit: See below. --Krang]

[Chris]

I can't find the [...] server, the closest seems to be [...].
Any ideas?

[Edit: See below. --Krang]

[Chris]

Ok, ignore that I'm in!!! THANK YOU KARPO!!!!!!!!!

But there is no one else here and when I type "!list" all I get is "<Chris> !list" in the main window instead of the list of servers shown in Karpo's guide, and help? Probably just have to wait until others are online, but since I've not used this before I just want to be sure I've not made a mistake.

[Krang]

Actually, I would prefer if people would discuss how to download the new episodes off these forums, or at least through private messages. I allowed the discussion of downloading the original cartoon's episodes because they haven't been shown in the US in years, they're not on DVD, MWS doesn't exist anymore, and Artisan isn't doing anything with their rights to the show. But the companies behind the new cartoon are making money off the episodes, and they would probably go after sites that contain instructions on how to download the episodes. So please don't post about how to download the new episodes. I don't want to lose the site or get into legal trouble over a cartoon I don't even like. :P

[Chris]

OK, sorry about that Krang

[Karpo_007]

Well guiding people how to use IRC is allowed I figure. It isn't just a place to ge illegal material, but all kinds. So I hope I can still help people with their questions! So the guide is not just for getting Illegal material, So can I repost it? If not, then people if you want to read it PM me.

Ok, ignore that I'm in!!! THANK YOU KARPO!!!!!!!!!

No problem. Glad I could help!

[Nickokapo]

Just readed the whole thread after pwdesai told me about this (thx ^^ )
I was going to say that since you're paying cable you can tape a show which you technically paid for ( i'm guessing the same rule apply to divx copies ) then distribution of the new episodes should be fine untill there is a DVD release of it...however now that i readed krang's post i think it might've hurt future dvd sales...or it might not :ohwell: whatever might be the case, i got yer point, no talking about downloading the new toon, right? :P Well then i agree with it, i dun' wanna see this board get in trouble either.
I must get in that irc server '[...]' everyone is talking about, seems like one helluva server :P :P :P :P
I don't want to lose the site or get into legal trouble over a cartoon I don't even like. :P
You don't like the toon? :| The new one?or the old one?Or both? >_<

[Karpo_007]

Yeah, well if you people have any questions, PM me.

[DarthRaphael]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll surely buy a DVD if its released and to heck with any other format.

[Karpo_007]

Of course So will I. It would be cool to have the new show on DVD. Let's hope it gets popular enough so that Might happen!

[Krang]

Well guiding people how to use IRC is allowed I figure. It isn't just a place to ge illegal material, but all kinds. So I hope I can still help people with their questions! So the guide is not just for getting Illegal material, So can I repost it? If not, then people if you want to read it PM me.If it doesn't have any instructions on how to get to a channel that serves episodes of the new cartoon, you can repost it.
I must get in that irc server '[...]' everyone is talking about, seems like one helluva server :P :P :P :P:lol:
You don't like the toon? :| The new one?or the old one?Or both? >_<I'm not a fan of the Mirage comics, so I don't like the new cartoon (no offense to anyone who does, of course). The old cartoon always has been and always will be my favorite TMNT universe.

[Karpo_007]

Allright, I will instruct people trough PM then.

[Reznorite420]

a cartoon I don't even like. :PKrang, I've never read the original Mirage series in my life, yet I love this new toon :P

[Shadow]

While the TV shows are free to air, you to have to have rights to republish them...even in schools believe it or not! (Teachers can get fined for showing movies and taped broadcasts to classes...although I don't know of any who have.)

However, few people do. Its okay to tape...but not okay to mass distribute... that's hasn't really stopped anyone.

However, I do think the good people at mirage and other organizations surrounding the turtles will not have a huge problem...(though discussion should be done in private e-mails and on file transfer sites like Imesh, Kaza...and so on.) I don't think they will because it promots their show....it helps spred the word...and for a new show (though not a new idea) it never hurts.

Plus I'm pretty sure that they realize most of us go out and buy the products they do produce ie Toys, Comics, DVDs of films and the like.

My thoughts are: spred the show...but do so discreatly.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah. Well Anyone who want's to see my guide to IRC can PM me.

[DarthRaphael]

Yeah. Well Anyone who want's to see my guide to IRC can PM me.

Karpo - Can we have discussions on this topic in the channel forum??
I've made a post over there.

[Karpo_007]

Good idea.

[R-iZZy]

wait... the channel's back??? :o :o :o :thyper: I'm so happy!!! I don't know how this is illegal though.

[Karpo_007]

Back? It has never been gone...

[Nickokapo]

I'm not a fan of the Mirage comics, so I don't like the new cartoon (no offense to anyone who does, of course). The old cartoon always has been and always will be my favorite TMNT universe.
Ah i see...heh, i'm not a big fan of em eitherso i'd choose the old toon over this one anytime...i still like the new toon tho.

Yah i see your point...if noone will probably arrest you for giving a tape of a show he payed for with his cable thing or whatever to a friend, then the same might apply to divx copies i guess, but the 'net is kinda different in some ways, as there's no way of knowing they payed for cable and stuff (not that it really matters to me :roll: but you know..) and most importantly in places such as forums the info stays online, real life is more 'discreet' as you've put it (Unless you go running around the street shouting "HAR IM GIVING OUT COPIES OF TAR NINGA TORTLEZ EPESOEDS!" and wave your tapes in the face of a cop, but chances are he'll think you're nuts instead of arresting you.)
Well then i guess as long as we keep it discreet and off this boards we'll be fine :)
(P.S: Mirage if you're reading this (Riiiiiiiiight... :) ) dont sue me KTHXBYE, if i had any money i wouldn't be downloading your stuff, duh :sweatdro: and if i had it i would've probably spent it in the great products you've put out as i can't see many other things that deserve spending my money on other than tmnt.
Of course, that companies like yours DONT RELEASE THE MOVIE DVDS AMONGST MANY (Emphasis on many. :p ) OTHER THINGS IN MY COUNTRY DOESN'T HELP EITHER! ;) )
wait... the channel's back??? :o :o :o :thyper: I'm so happy!!! I don't know how this is illegal though.
Yes it is =D it never quite has been gone actually :anime:
It is illegal as it infringes in copyright laws but i think companies that own the tmnt rights have been turning a blind eye on stuff like this as i bet it doesnt affect them too much (And that is something i truly respect, it shows they dont lose their time by bugging their fans...like *coff*MPAA*coff*.)
I'll try to cease distribution of the episodes when they are released on dvd, it seems right after the companies have let us keep the channel going on for so long...i can't however scan every single fserver thought so i could only put a warning somewhere in the channel topic and trust servers will accept, if they don't then they might get in trouble and rightfully so (chances are they'll get the WHOLE channel in trouble though :sweatdro: but in that case *i* might deserve it for not being able to monitor my channel well enough...sigh, i dunno, when the moment comes i'll see what i can do :) )

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll surely buy a DVD if its released and to heck with any other format.
You BET i will, problem is companies haven't really paid attention to my country as for tmnt dvds goes, none of the movies have been released in argentina as far as i know and that bugs me because the only other place i can turn to is piracy (or importing, but i'm sorry, i don't have that much money, let alone i dunno how to buy from the net and seems kinda risky to me.)
But i'm almost sure they will bring the new tmnt show to fox kids latinamerica, if they happen to release merchandising or such because of this, you bet i'll be supporting them!

[Karpo_007]

They are probably not coming to here either, So I will need to buy them international. If they ever get released that is.

[R-iZZy]

it was never gone? what about what the page said? at radixpub.com/tmntfiles? it said something about it being "illegal" and the sharing had to be stopped? i read that dangit!!! Don't toy with me!!! lol... but i know what i read... I'm so confrused.

[Chris]

UK's doing slightly better, we've had movies 2 and 3 released on one disc for the price of one film so it's excellent value, but for some reason the idiots in charge seem to have decided NOT to release the first and best movie that I actually wanted on DVD!

[Karpo_007]

That was a misunderstanding, the channel is up and running, and hopefully we don't have to move anytime soon.

[Nickokapo]

:embarass: Yeah, sorry for 'toying' with you, it was never my intention, it's just that when mpaa came to irc-chat i had to make a descision, either move the channel, or let it die, and since we moved so many times already and thought people would get sick of it if i did it again, i just thought i'd close it.
Later i figured out the mpaa has very little to nothing to do with the tmnt tv show, as they mainly care about movies and stuff that is released on dvd already, but it was a little too late as i've already posted that :embarass: sorry mr.poop.
I've posted again to help clear confusion, i might aswell delete the post with the 'we're moving' news like karpo suggested, that could cause confusion aswell..
So yeah, we're not closing down...Again, sorry :embarass:

Edit: 'k, instead of deleting the 'we're closing' news post, i edited it, it now says "mi perro huele a basurero" :D which means...um...go translate it yourself :)

[Wingnut]

Bout time you spoke up on this Nicko :P

[Nickokapo]

Heh...yeah, sorry..
Well actually, i DID spoke up on this :P check the news at the tmnt-files site, i've edited karpo's post some days ago ( i didnt modify his original post, i've only added stuff so that it'd appear in the main page ) and posted about what happend :)

[Wingnut]

oh well thanks for clarifying

[Nickokapo]

Hey no problem, my dog smells like a trashcan.

[Wingnut]

Save the insane ramblings for the tmnt-files :P

[Nickokapo]

Oh yeah...i mustn't run out of nonsensical, irrelevant ramblings :P therefore, i shall not post that my dog might actually be a trashcan in disguise!
Getting back on topic, and leaving my dog's hygiene behind, the channel is not moving...eyup.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah atleast soon...

[beaker]

ILLEGAL? NASCAR (which preempted today's episode),a sport which kills people and promotes Big tobacco and alcohol should be ILLEGAL.

No, in my eyes not only is it not illegal...it should be encouraged. Its not right just because someone doesnt live in the United States of Ameriduh
that they should miss out. That to me is the real travesty. I get great Fox reception, and still missed out. So yes, it is the right thing to do to share these episodes...now if I could find out how to get it downloaded(heck, if anyone has an ftp or underground site where it can be downloaded PM me!)

ILLEGAL??? Preempting TMNT with freaking NASCAR should be illegal.

[Karpo_007]

I agree! But we don't make the laws..

[Dinny]

Ye, I got that, but its annoyin how their arent many DVD xtras.

Allright, you really need to calm down about NASCAR. I've seen you complain about it in several threads and I'd really like it if you would just stick to one soapbox thread in GD and get it out of your system. No need for people to see you complain in the majority of your recent posts.
If you would have checked your listings, you would have seen it on at 8:30AM EST. How can you live in North Carolina when the sport you hate so much is HQ'd there? Also, In case you have forgotten, the NC economy was based on tobacco for many years and helped create the great state it is today.
I make "copies" of the episodes so people like yourself can see it if they missed it. Only thing is, we cannot openly discuss how to get "copies".
PM Karpo or myself and we can talk about it.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah the Nascar subject should be dropped, even if it's evil... :wink:

Oh gosh, I think I'd jump in front of a train if I lived there, heh. No Im from California. Yeah, sorry about the Nascar thing...*drops subject of evil preemption* Anyways, I gotcha...its a thing of wink wink nudge nudge.
I dont see why we need to walk on eggshells. Everyone here is vehmently against pirating/bootlegging for profit/ebay. I think its everyone's right to see it for free...I mean its not like it was HBO which I dont have...I even speicially made sure the antenna go tin Fox the night before.

Sadly, there was no mention of a Nascar when I was watching the Fox Box, it just came out of nowhere. They even said 'coming up next!' just a few seconds before it was to air. Anyways, its no biggie. I was just really excited to see it.

Cool. Thanks for understanding.
And if you still haven't seen it, PM Karpo or myself and we'll let you know how. :tgrin:

[nimrod]

just wondering if anyone can pm me and help me to get the new tmnt episodes

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

I think there should be a designated time in which we all go on IRC to trade episodes with each other cuz every time I go on there's nobody there but me. :( :cry:

[Karpo_007]

There is 81 people on right now. We broke our record last night.

[nimrod]

I think there should be a designated time in which we all go on IRC to trade episodes with each other cuz every time I go on there's nobody there but me. :( :cry:

That would be cool. I can't seem to get in when anyone is there either. THink maybe I'm doing something wrong. :(

[Reznorite420]

You must not be in the right channel or something, because EVERYBODY'S there when I am.

[Karpo_007]

you are probably on wrong server.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

When I go to the server and try to connect it, says "ERROR All connections in use" Does that mean too many ppl r using and I can't get on? Yes, I know I'm on the right one cuz it worked yesterday.

[Karpo_007]

Just wait, if one servers is full, it should automaticly try to connect to another.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

OK, thanks!!! :)

[Karpo_007]

No problem.

[PWDESAI]

No offense to darth raph, but the g00z encode is like perfect quality and kics everyone else's encodes ass. Seriously he is probably the best at this stuff.... I envy him..
I recommend everyone who has a fast connection to try and get it. His encode is what I'll be using for the dvd's i'm making.

[DarthRaphael]

Don't start this crap.
This thread was going fine without any bashing until you got another warning from Krang after I locked a thread on you.
I support #tmnt-files with my stuff.
I've never heard of g00z anyway, so why would I want to download his episodes?? You're going to tell me to go to #80scartoons, but no one wants to use that channel.

[One Radical Dude]

Whatever g00z is, it doesn't sound good.

[Karpo_007]

g00z has higher resolution, but Darth's is the only DIVX version with full framerate. That's why Darth's are better compared, even if the picture is not as sharp.

[DarthRaphael]

g00z has higher resolution, but Darth's is the only DIVX version with full framerate. That's why Darth's are better compared, even if the picture is not as sharp.

Would you want a higher resolution? It could be done.
I'm using the res they are now to keep the file size down.

[Karpo_007]

If you could still maintain the 30 FPS, then of course. And you could use higher compression, so the files wouldn't become huge. I have seen DVD rips at the bitrate of 800, so If you use higer resolution, you could decrease bitrate pretty much. Well If you have time, test it!

[DarthRaphael]

OK, Ill try some testing, but I won't guarantee anything by the time the third episode airs, as I am still satisfied with the current quality.

[Karpo_007]

Ok, well when you have time to test, tell me what results you got.

[PWDESAI]

Well I think that 200+ people seem to want to use 80s-cartoons, and umm maybe g00z's endcodes are like 1 million times better than darth's... I said no offense, I was just trying to help the people out, obviously you can't be mature about this. OMIGOD YOU ARE NOT THE BEST ENCODER!!!!

[Karpo_007]

They are still only 24 fps while darth's are 30. I want my episodes with full framerate.

[DarthRaphael]

Geezz man, lighten up. I didn't say I was the best.
None of the people are part of this comunity, so they have not given me a reason to try their eps.

[PWDESAI]

Just because they're not part of the community doesn't mean they don't make good encodes. I was just telling anyone out there who wanted to try and then you blew up and tell ME to lighten up... sheesh

[DarthRaphael]

Just because they're not part of the community doesn't mean they don't make good encodes. I was just telling anyone out there who wanted to try and then you blew up and tell ME to lighten up... sheesh

Well, if you tell me XXX person does the best encodes, give me some more info than that. Tell me why it's better in your opinion. Maybe I can learn from them.

Anyway, how many peeps from this board visit 80scartoons? Are we split between #tmnt-files and 80scartoons?? I want to see one of these other encodes, but I don't feel like waiting in an fserv queue for it.

[Karpo_007]

Well you will get a sample of g00z from me. Like I said, the higher resolution makes the picture look better, but the FPS is onl 24. In a fast action shows like TMNT, I Want full FPS.

[Dinny]

Ye I agree, and im all for the high quality.

Hey PW...watever, give it a rest will u I mean sure u can give ur opinion, but u dont hav to pick on Darth while ur at it.

[PWDESAI]

ummm hows about i wasn't picking on darth... are you blind di...whatever
anywho I'm sorry it sounded bad, but everyone was saying DARTH HAS THE BEST ENCODES, when it wasn't 100% true. #80s-cartoons is probably the biggest and best place to get cartoons, with a whopping 200+ people, and like 40 fservers. I got g00z's encode real fast since I serve, I suggest everyone check it out if they need anything, right now i'm trying to get heathcliff episodes.

[Dinny]

Ye ok I get it... i see where ur cummin from

[Karpo_007]

Expect g00z ebcodes come much later, and are only 24 fps. But The resolution is higher. But like I said, I want full framerate. On fast action shows like that, It does count.

[PWDESAI]

lol you said this already karpo, we understand :P
I dunno I don't really care about framerate if it looks better.

[Karpo_007]

I do. The animation must be as smooth as possible, but of course diffrent people have diffrent needs.

[Dinny]

I agree with Karpo here, but I also like quick downloads, so Im stuck in the middle here.

[PWDESAI]

well to the human eye you can't even really see hte difference in frame rates, however clear crisp pictures is much better than anything fuzzy in my opinion. I mean howsabout I care about something that I can actually see :|

[Karpo_007]

Normal eye can see the difrence. But it only really shows in action scenes.

[PWDESAI]

yea i dunno i can't really tell, and the whole sharpness is all the time.
Anyways, the new episode ROCKED. Karpo you looking forward to teh raph and casey ep?

[Karpo_007]

Yeah, I heard it's an adaption of the Raphael one shot.

[PWDESAI]

yea, that's why i said it, since your avatar is raph from the cover.

[Karpo_007]

Well 6 days to go...

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

Does anyone know who made the 136 MB encode of "Things Change"? No offense to any other encoders, but IMHO, his/hers is the best encode. It's just that it has a bigger and clearer picture.

[Karpo_007]

So far the best picture is in Ballistic_Punk's encode, but he has done only episode 3.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

So far the best picture is in Ballistic_Punk's encode, but he has done only episode 3.

I haven't seen that one. :( Everyone on mIRC has a que list a mile long. :cry:

[Karpo_007]

True, thats's why server will get the episodes first.

[Raphael]

I have like 130mb of Ballistic_Punk's ep 3 encode done, but the person keeps going offline and not reappearing. :(

[Karpo_007]

I think most of the servers has the episode, you can resume from someone else.

[Raphael]

Well actually, I can only use DirectConnect, mIRC won't connect for me. I'm sure it must be something to do with the firewall in XP, but still. I guess I'll have to wait for it to be passed around. :p

[Peanut]

I go on mIRC all the time and I have XP.

[One Radical Dude]

Likewise, Michaelangelo. I have XP and can access mIRC.

Raphael, do you have a router and a broadband connection.

[Raphael]

I have a broadband connection, but not a router. I also use "Sygate Personal Firewall". But, I don't think that has anything to do with it, because I've shut down Sygate before and tried to get onto mIRC but it won't let me. :(

The guy's on DC right now, and there's only 10 minutes left so hopefully he'll let me finish it. :)

Edit: Scratch that, he's gone again. I think he's doing it on purpose. :|

[DarthRaphael]

:( So my encodes don't look good at 320X240?? :(

I'll be upgrading my pc soon, So I hope to do larger size encodes, say 640x480.

They look good to me. A lot of people requested your version since Saturday, including me. I don't see why some people complain about them.

[Raphael]

DarthRaphael, I have your encodes of the first two episodes and they look great. How much would a filesize difference be for 640x480 though, roughly double?

[Karpo_007]

They look good, but since some people want higher resolution, now we have encoder for that in our channel too. Don't worry, people were still asking for your encode, and it's shared in the channel too. But last saturday you were late, and he covered for you. It doesn't hurt to have many diffrent versions.

[DarthRaphael]

Cool.
The filesize is 160MB for a 320x240 encode becasue I like to watch the eps in 640x480, sometimes full screen, and it looks OK to me. The 640x480 is the best to watch it at. I could make the file smaller, keep the 320x240 quality, but you could not resize it at all. Does anyone resize my encodes??

Anyway, I can't encode at 640x480 yet becasue Virtual Dub does not work well with WDM drivers, and my card uses WDM drivers. I will be upgrading my PC soon and using PowerVCR to do episode encoding. I am not sure if I will continue do DIVX at that point, or use MPEG II.

Anyway, I'm glad that there are people that appreciate the work I do, and I'm glad to be part of the larger encoding comunity. It is nice that there are so many choices for TMNT G2 enjoyment, considering we are all stuck with the Anuerism encodes of TMNT G1.


Oh, and BTW, I apologize to PWDESAI for jumping on him so fast. I guess I was a little defensive about my work. Character flaw maybe. He was just trying to be helpful. Thanks for the input. :tthumbsu:

[Karpo_007]

I watch them always in full screen because of TV-out.

[holm^]

I'll be upgrading my pc soon, So I hope to do larger size encodes, say 640x480.

Are you saving all the episodes in raw quality, for reencoding later? I guess that would take up huge amounts of disk space but it would make it possible to make several different versions of the episodes, as you come up with different encoding techniques and so on. I'd love to see a 640x480 version.

Yes, I have all 3 raw encodes at about 700Mb a piece.
They were encodes at 320x240, and don't look too well re-encoded at 640x480. Once the upgrade is complete, I'll do the raw encodes at 640x480.

Sweet!

I'm also curious to know if you're saving the "on the next Ninja Turtles", showed after the episode, in your raw files. They're always fun to watch when an episode is fresh but I guess they're a waste of space if you already have the episode mentioned in the preview. But releasing two versions is a bit overkill I guess.

By the way, which resolution do the raw ones have?

[Reznorite420]

:( So my encodes don't look good at 320X240?? :(

I'll be upgrading my pc soon, So I hope to do larger size encodes, say 640x480.No, they're fine the way they are. I have hard drive space to think about, you know :D

[Nickokapo]

Nah they look good to me dude :ohwell:
Of course if you could make em higher resolution i for one wouldnt mind, after all i bet quality would increase...no matter what the filesize is (I'm guessing a raw re-encoded to divx shouldn't be much bigger than 200 mb.)

[Dinny]

Y am I the only 1 hu cant download the eps?!?

[Nickokapo]

I dunno, what seems to be the problem exactly? :p

[Dinny]

Well, 1st of all, I got a Mac, but ive downloaded the 1 4 Mac yet I cant get it to work coz I got no idea wat to do!

[Nickokapo]

Oh..
Well i got your solution right here! :D
1) Get a PC...i mean a real pc...either that, or get a more irc friendly os like linux or windoze or whatever.
2) Install mirc
3) Start downloading :P
I've heard macs play only video but no sound on divx files so i guess even if you download the files it would be pretty much useless.
I don't use macOS so i don't think i can help you there :P

[Dinny]

O gr8 now all I have to do is spend £500! LOL. If any1 hu has a Mac can hel me, PLEASE PM me.

[Nickokapo]

Well there's a mac IRC client at http://www.ircle.com/ you might wanna try that...but if the problem is the mac then get rid of it :roll:

[Dinny]

Well Nturtle downloaded the epsodes with a Mac, I gess I shood ask...

[Nickokapo]

Yup i remember him coming to the irc chan a while ago :D i didn't say anything about it 'cause i thought he was using another pc...you should ask him, he probably knows more about macs than i do :D

[Dinny]

I will, thanks anyway.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

OK, for somew reason I haven't been able to connect to mMIRC in a few days. It worked before but now it won't let me get onto irc-chat.net. What happened???

[Vespera Blaze]

ditto... irc-chat.net doesn't want to let me on either.

Comments, suggestions, advice?

[The_Realest]

Can someone please post the link for karpo's mIRC guide? I got on once and dl'd 2 episodes, but when I tried to get on again I completely forgot what to do.

:-? This message is to anyone who can help,

I am donwloading the new episodes on Kazaa. I just downloaded the 4th episode. When I start viewing, it starts off fine but then it freezes up, but the audio keeps on going. I get no video, just the audio. I tryed downloading diferent codecs but none seem to work. Just in case, the episodes I am downloading are the ones labeled "HORNETT". To anybody who can help with this I ask you. If anyone has any ideas please post. Thankyou.

Hey what's up...

Well, I have the hornett encodes as well, and it seems I get the best picture out of them using DIVX 4 (not 5) I don't know why that is, but maybe you could uninstall 5 and install 4 instead...

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

:D Hey, thanks a lot grunger_kittie. I currently have the newest Nimo Pack installed. But I am gonna try that out. :D

[Karpo_007]

It's a fact that kazaa corrupts videofiles, that could be whats wrong too

[HorseTechie]

Cool.

This is a little old... but the question was posed to me. Neil (from NTN) was looking for taped episodes, and I offered him the encodes I get from you guys at Mirc.

But he said the .avi format does not work well with the prgram he has that converts and burns the video to DVD. I forgot what all the requirements were now, but it had to be at a much larger size than 320x240 (TV sizing?) and saved as a MPEG2 in order for it to work.

Anyone make video encodes like that too...?

[Karpo_007]

Divx can be converted to MPEG2 quite easily. But there are some people that encode them to MPEG[VCD]. I really can't see the point in making DVD's, since official DVD are sure to come sooner or later.

[Nickokapo]

I can't believe someone finally encoded toxic crusaders @ #80s-cartoons...
All i gotta say is irc rocks :P
As for mpeg2 encodes...well good luck finding those, people usually encode at mpeg1 or divx
You could always convert any file you might have in divx in whatever resolution to mpeg2, but it takes time and...what for?if it is a 320x240 divx file you might as well convert it to mpeg1 and save filesize because the quality wont get any better if you do that one on mpeg2...or you could find a, say, 640x480 encode in divx and convert it to mpeg2, but if you're talking about the new toon, that'd be pretty pointless since as karpo said the new toon will probably get released on dvd.

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Need Help ON Locating The TMNT List,

I've gotten to the point where I have to type "!list". I type it but no list comes out. One time it said "Retrieving #TMNT-episodes but that's it. Nothing from there. Any suggestions?

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

This is for MIRC.

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Anyone that can help, please feel free to. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Nickokapo]

Humm i dunno, a list of fileservers should come in, there's not much science to it ya just type !list :p
You didnt turned 'notice' off or anything right?
OHHHH I GET IT...you are supposed to join #tmnt-files
Not #tmnt-episodes...i think that should clear it up.

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Anyone that can give me hand with this MIRC thing. I can't seem to get it to give me the TMNT list. I have already conected the MIRC client, and I have alredy joined like 3 or 4 channels. I've even written "!list" and nothing comes out. NO LIST :x :x :x :x :x What to do now? Anyone please.....
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :x :evil: :x :evil: :x :evil: :x :evil: :x :evil: :x :evil:

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

I've tryed that already. Karpo gave both his and the TMNT files guides. And I can't seem to get passed that List thing. All it says is retrieving TMNT episodes. I'm about ready to give on this MIRC thing. :( :( :( :( :(

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Okay I connected to the TMNT-files channel,

Now I type in !list, right okay done,

Now it just stays there forever and does nothing...

I dunno what to do.

I never get passed that point.

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Oh and another thing,

I have tryed conecting to different networks and it is all the same.

Karpo told me that the network was renamed to irc.irchighway.net,

But I look for it and it doesn't appear on the network list.

Man I'm beat... and a little pissed :x

[Nickokapo]

Check your pms, i sent you a mini irc guide thingie. :rolling:
And if you're pissed you might wanna start using diapers again :rolling:

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

lol Very funny guy, veery funny. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyways thanks for the miny IRC thingie. It worked!!! :D :D :D

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Just one more thing. Let's say I go into a channel and find something I want. I type get and the file name to put it in queue.

Do I have to open this channel again for it to download or will it download by itself when it's turn arrives.

With so many channels and all, it's hard to keep up.

[Nickokapo]

Well i think you gotta stay in the channel you are downloading that file from, but if you mean the fileserver dcc window, you can close that one, it'll send automatically when your turn comes.

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

What episodes from the new season are considered the best to download?

There are the ones labeled darthraphael, nevermorex and ballistic_punk.

Which are considered the best?

[HorseTechie]

I can't believe someone finally encoded toxic crusaders @ #80s-cartoons...

Thanks for the input.

Don't ask my why Neil wants to burn them all to DVD now... some kind of hobby he has going at the moment. :roll:

[Nickokapo]

No problem HT.
What episodes from the new season are considered the best to download?

There are the ones labeled darthraphael, nevermorex and ballistic_punk.

Well it depends, if you are planing on watching your episodes on a tv out, get the darthraphael encodes, it has 30 frames per seconds, which makes it look good on tv because it'd match the refresh rate of it or something.
Now if you are planning on watching it on your pc, i'd recommend you to get a higher quality encode, the darthraphael one has repeated frames that make it bigger in filesize while you could get another encode which will give you better quality for the filesize but wont play on a tv out as smoothly as darthraph's.
It's your choice and it all depends on what you are going to use them for.

[Nturtle]

This is all very confusing... :-?
I missed the episode tody becase I overslept :dead:
So could someone please just clear up what the new server and channel name is to get the episodes?

[Karpo_007]

Channel name is same, server renamed to irc.irchighway.net

[Nturtle]

Gracias Karpo!!! :D

[CRUSHED_BIZKIT77]

Thanks Nickokapo,

But what do you mean to watch them on tv, do you mean convert them to VCD and burn them to watch on a DVD player? :-?

[Nickokapo]

You are welcome...and no, even though you *can* do that, it's not what i meant, what i mean is..well, there's this card for pc that have tv-out, they let you watch your pc in your tv instead of your monitor, now that that's cleared up lets go on with the files :P
There's different files with different framerates, darthraphael's has 30 frames per second, while other encodes might have lower framerate, they will look better for their filesize since they dont have repeated frames that take up space, but they wont look all that well in a tv-out (because of the tv's refresh rate being different than your monitor's or whatever).
So my point was if you are going to use a tv-out card to watch it then get the darthraph encode, if not then go for a higher quality one.

[Raphael]

Finally get mirc working, and irc.irchighway.net doesn't resolve for me.

(^)!^""1!"11"!"£"!!1 ;)

EDIT: w00t. I got into it by typing /server irc.irchighway.net but earlier when I put it into the channels list in options it wouldn't work that way.

Anyway...uh... w00t! :D

I don't think pwdesai will appreciate that you're hotlinking the frickin stuff :p it's his bandwith y'know, at least post a link to his main page instead of the file itself, tho that link wont be here for much time i think...
Furthermore:
Actually, I would prefer if people would discuss how to download the new episodes off these forums, or at least through private messages. I allowed the discussion of downloading the original cartoon's episodes because they haven't been shown in the US in years, they're not on DVD, MWS doesn't exist anymore, and Artisan isn't doing anything with their rights to the show. But the companies behind the new cartoon are making money off the episodes, and they would probably go after sites that contain instructions on how to download the episodes. So please don't post about how to download the new episodes. I don't want to lose the site or get into legal trouble over a cartoon I don't even like. :P
This might sound hypocrital coming from me since im helping people to get in irc and download files :P but i try not to name the server...even tho karpo already did :p sigh

[rt55699]

Hi, I'm a newbie. Where can I find the guide that everyone is talking about?

Thanks

[Pepzi]

i'm sorry for asking questions on how to get eps on this forum... sorry

[Nickokapo]

That's ok, just try to keep it off these boards..
SO TAHT TEH FEDZ WON'T CLOSES IT OLO!1!!!!!!111111111
Actually i doubt discussing this would get the site in trouble, it would be illegal if the technodrome actually hosted the episodes...but it's krang's site, he can do whatever he wants, if this is his decision i respect it ;)
Not to mention i agree that it's not worth putting such a great board at risk for some toon i don't even like that much.
Well, check your PMs :ohwell:

[PanMan]

how long does it take to connect to the irc.irchighway.net server? it seems to be taking some time, and it looks like nothing is happening . . .

nevermind . . . i got on :)

now when is somebody going to encode it? :P

EDIT - nevermind, i got it

and i must say . . . AMAZING!!! :o
