This is the horror/comedy film "Black Sheep" from 2006 (about sheep in New Zealand, not the 1996 comedy film on that election). I upload this because I like to have a portable copy on my external HD and like to be able to watch films on my phone. No watchable original-audio <1GB rip was available at the time. This is essentially a re-code of HighCode's 10GB rip.

It's encoded in 1080p because that way I could get more detail out of x264 than with 720p, since this film has a lot of nature pans and stills. But due to the compression it shouldn't be called anything more than 720p, so I decided to omit the resolution from the title.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
_________________

The film was watched in VLC to assure its quality.
Detail is nice when things are standing almost still. Detail is lacking in heavily moving scenes. Some macro blocking occurs in dark scenes. Audio is in sync.

The commentary track was not completely listened in the quality assurance, but skipped through and it seemed fine and synced throughout.

English subtitles were watched and the sync was corrected here and there. Still not perfect, but better than what usually comes with a Blu-ray. Actual text is excellent.

Other subtitles were not checked or corrected.

I'll be seeding this the first week 24/7, then for a few weeks in (European) evenings
