optimus prime Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Say I see a movie listed that quite a few people are downloading. I have that movie already but its in one file, like a .mkv. Can I convert it into the files needed, so I can use it to help boost my ratio? I realise I have to make all the files exactly the same as the torrent so it will work but how do I do it? I assume use Winrar or something.Thanks.

thelittlefire Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Not likely. BYTE identical is impossible for both lossless (compression) and lossy (a/v files) even given the same source and options... even from the same computer.

optimus prime Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 O.k, what about if I have a movie on DVD? An original. Edit : Getting it BYTE identical is more than likely impossible but hypertheticaly speaking I wanted to create my own torrent from an original, how is it done?

moogly Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Clearly not impossible only in rare cases like exact compression or splitting. Eg: the popular torrent is a file split in parts (RAR, .001, .002 etc).You have the same file but entirely. It's possible to use WinRar or HJsplit to reproduce split files with the knowledge of the split size, the compression quality etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Errm, I didn't think that's quite what you meant... but http://utorrent.com/torrent.php is linked from http://utorrent.com/guides.php In any case, like I say it's highly unlikely since the file you mention is lossy, but if you want to try your hand, surely you can use the same source, compression options, passes, and average bitrate goodluck.Alas, wanting to "give", a useful side-effect of private trackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus prime Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks for the help guys, I think I will give it a shot, just to see for myself really. thelittlefire, I know how to make a new torrent in uTorrent itself, as per the link you supplied, its actually creating the split rar files.Anymore suggestions is always appreciated as I have tons of dvd's etc I'd like to add to my upload list. Also being a newbie into the private world of torrenting I want to do the right thing by helping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
