The Independents 2014 10 13 WS SDTV x264-XAiO torrent

TONIGHT ON THE INDEPENDENTS (written by Matt Welch, taken from Reason)
---------------------------
Friday's theme episode of The Independents was on "Governmental Breakdown," and as such included some Q&A with various whistleblowers who tried to go through "proper channels" to let superiors know that things at their agency were seriously messed up. Their experiences are a stain on our national conscience.


INFO
----
Ripped with the Diamond VC500. Using the software that came packaged with the dongle. (It's called EZ Ripper.) In that software there's a "DVD Standard" which rips the video to .mpg at 720x480 with some terrible black bars. I load that file into AVIDemux. Cut the file into multiple parts to remove the commercials. Rejoin, crop, and resize those files using the same tool. For conversion I used MPEG4 AVC (x264), 2 pass on video and AAC (faac) on audio.

I am not part of the scene. I just admire their naming standards.
