Stargate Universe Complete Blu-Ray & Web DL 1080p h264 AAC 5.1 EN Sub

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the show (October 2009), I created a torrent of all of Stargate Universe (SGU), my favorite of the franchise.

Included are:-

* Season One, taken from my BluRay. All episodes include a commentary track (normally some cast members)
* Season Two, taken from the best Web-DL I could find, and each episode includes a commentary track, taken from my DVD
* All 34 Kino Webisodes. Most are 480p, a few are 1080p
* The Daniel Jackson training videos; we see Eli viewing these during "Air".
* Some short cast interviews; again, most are 480p
* A selection of production documentaries
* Finally, the Back to Destiny comic. in PDF format, which continues the story beyond season two

I wished to upload material that can readily be used by the widest audience, so I chose h264, level 4.1 for the video. This should work on most devices. My aim was to create the best possible video, free from pixellation, and with a minimum level of artifacts, in a reasonable size for downloading.

I used x264.exe to create h264, level 4.1 video. All episodes were created using the "placebo" preset, which offers the highest quality encoding but slowest encode speed. The episodes from "time" onward used CRF in preference to a two pass encoding. I chose a CRF suitable for each episode, high enough to keep the final file size somewhere around my target size of 600Mb for the video, so, normally 25-27. As can be seen, some episodes are larger than others, yet have a similar run length; this can be attributed to the x264 encoder's use of higher bandwidth to reproduce more video changes, on "busier" episodes (as in "Time").

The audio for the episodes is AAC 5.1 at 448 kbps; the other material is AAC stereo at 96 or 128 kbps.
