Proper reason: Well where to start...it would be easier to just
mention the few things that aren't wrong with Crimson's release.
They completely screwed up their segmenting shit, several scenes
are repeated. In total their release is 111 minutes long,
so there are 28 minutes of "bonus" scenes. Check our sample folder
for one such a repeated scene, 4400-scene1.crimson.avi starts at 49.19,
4400-scene2.crimson.avi starts at 1.15.07.
There are also segments that are out of sync and
some segments have been encoded with a bitrate of around 150 KB/s.
We would like to thank Crimson for providing the perfect example why
segmenting needs to be banned. This is one of the worst releases i have
ever seen. We have cut one of the repeat scenes from their release to show
what these groups try to get away with: 4400-scene1.crimson.avi and
4400-scene2.crimson.avi are both from their release, they both show the same
scene, however -scene1 has a bitrate of 726 Kb/s while -scene2 only has
158 Kb/s. How can this be since both scenes are identical? Seems they
had to encode one segment "a bit lower" to fit and the result is we get
COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP. How can you even think of releasing a TV show
with a bitrate of 158 Kb/s ? You can if all you care about is releasing
before anyone else and don't give a shit about quality at all.
BAN SEGMENTING.
And for those who think our release is undersized:
This is a DSR and as we know The 4400 is usually dark.
Undersized is not a flaw in this case. It is undersized because the file
is perfectly saturated.

Since the source resolution is only 544, there isn't much sense in upping the resolution.
We increased the audio bitrate to 160kbps, but we refuse to use quant1 just to fill up to
the standard size.
