Well done Beeb - your first torrent:
http://www.h33t.com/userdetails.php?id=138800
Labelled it S1E1 heh heh.
Personally my favour goes to .mkv using .h264 - standard 30 minute
should run c 200MB and 5 min to 30MB. Aspect ratio can be easily set
correctly this way. .mp4 is also a popular alternative these days.
Also publish HD versions in the same container. Then you are following
'standard' current p2p practice. Which has developed for good reasons.
Take the advice of the commenters at:
http://torrentfreak.com/bbc-gets-ready-for-bittorrent-distribution-090409/
"PLEASE KEEP ASKING FOR ADVICE if you need it. The biggest problem
with broadcasters trying to branch out into new media is they don’t
take the time and effort to engage with the p2p scene to learn the
unofficial rules and customs.
As noted above, if you discover an error in your release the correct
way to rectify it is to fix the editing and release the new file with
the word PROPER in the file name.
For your reference, we use File.Names.With.Dots because not all
systems correctly read spaces and will sometimes screw up the file
name so that%20it%20becomes%20hard%20to%20read".
[CRC] in the filename would be good - especially as you're trying new
encodes & containers. You may also consider inserting v2 etc into
re-encodes ...... PROPER is a 'scene' thing .... not followed in other
p2p contexts.
Avoid too many formats - settle on a couple & stay with them ....
settle on a flexible filename format that follows good practice.
Consider putting the name of your 'group' in the filename:
[BBC_RDTV]Ep-001[April2009][5min][h264][743CCA80].mkv
And this way the series will sort in episode order as well.

Nico Morrison
