A genuine Scene release (e.g., Black.Tie.Nights.S1.DVDRip.XviD-NoGrp) or high-quality P2P encode will have these specs:
| Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Container | AVI (XviD) or MKV (h.264) | | Resolution | 720x480 (NTSC) or 640x480 (square pixel) | | Aspect ratio | 4:3 (original) | | Frame rate | 29.97 fps (telecined from 23.976 fps) | | Video bitrate | 1800–2500 kbps (XviD) / 1200–1500 kbps (h.264) | | Audio | MP3 192 kbps CBR or AC3 2.0 192 kbps | | Runtime per ep | 27:30 – 30:00 | | File size per ep | ~350 MB (XviD) / ~250 MB (h.264) |
Note: Some modern re-encodes (2020+) use x265 10-bit to preserve gradients from the soft-focus cinematography. These are not true to the 2004 DVDRip era but are superior for archiving.
