For those looking to get RARBG’s x265 encodes back, there is a new uploader by the name of INFINITY that is going to start encoding stuff the same way RARBG did, here’s his post on the Torrentgalaxy forums https://i.imgur.com/Y6NwJBP.png , check it out, what do you guys think?

    From the image:

    Hi there all =) I am an encoder. I use the exact same settings as RARBG did for all their delicious encodes and was actually inquiring to assist them with encodes and a week later they posted their goodbye message. I would very much LOVE to be the top uploader and with everyone’s love and support from here, we can all surely make TG the #1 site to go to! I have gigabit of upload, good PC for encoding and server with most of RARBG library and I am ready to post some great stuff that cant be found elsewhere because I used Al Enhancing and then encode to ×265. ljust want to focus on TV seasons in ENG and any NEW movies that become available I would love to post them all 1080p.WEBRip.×265-INFINITY Hope to be able to make everyone happy this week!

      I’m not sure about the “AI Enhancing”… in general I would prefer that things be as close as possible to the official release. And certainly I would hope that if something has not just been re-encoded, but visually altered, that it would be clearly marked as such.

        Yeah it should be clearly marked if AI enhanced. Also I would think new material should already be available in 1080p/4K I am not sure why you would want to AI enhanced it at all.

        I could see AI enhancing being useful in content that wasn’t ever released in 1080p or 4K. For example there are many old TV shows they only ever got a DVD release or the source film was never scanned into 4K resolution.
