*Sigh* This is why 1080p unless done by a decent group is completely and utterly pointless.

Starz is a pretty sloppy source when we did Black Sails and Outlander
last season in 1080p we checked four providers and picked the best one.
And honestly as we came to realise that provider was grossly compressed
when compared to some of the web feeds from Starz.com and iTunes,
we kept them going to complete the season
but we decided we wouldn't be doing ANY more 1080p from Starz after that.
What you have with this BRISK release and other BRISK releases is sub-par sourcing
which has been encoded using crappy *altered* x264 settings
(You need to adjust these things per release... Or stick to preset slow
(We use placebo, and go beyond that with alterations based on the source material),
it's not one size fits all).
aq,psy_rd,deblock all these *altered* settings are going to do for this show
is bloat the filesize while offering little to no benefit to the quality of the release.
In fact we're willing to bet that their encode is over 90% of the source size that they used to
encode off.
We've checked every now and again on other 1080p releases from them and seen it get as high as 92%
of the source.
Plus the constant audio sync issues, playback issues on some demuxers.
More often than not poor IVTC during random sequences (sometimes throughout, like this case).
Take this as you will but if you're sitting around waiting for the next 1080p release to drop,
before you watch/trade/archive this weeks episode of *whatever*
and it's not from a REPUTABLE group, maybe you'll just get the 720p...
All these releases do is pollute your archives and waste your bandwidth,
we're probably one of the first if not the first release group to start doing 1080p HDTV actively
there's a reason we didn't go crazy with it and it wasn't a lack of effort,
the quality of the sources simply doesn't merit a 1080p encode.
(And no we wont be doing further 1080p's of Black Sails, this was just to prove a point)
(Yeah we know it should have been tagged as proper, we'll DIRFIX it we wanted the attention of a
READNFO tag, another PROPER on FLEET/BRISK/IMMERSE is as common as air)
