London 2012 Olympics Beach Volleyball Group B China vs Russia HDTV x264-2HD

we are gonna be getting the opening ceremonies though, right?

my guess is yes.

an sd release (london.2012.olympics.opening.ceremony.ctv.feed.hdtv.x264-2hd) popped up a couple
of minutes ago, and that's probably the one the eztv crew was waiting for. i'm guessing we won't be
getting any 720p content here - a weekly series is one thing, coverage of an all-day every-day sports
event is quite another.

we really need a good bbc feed of the opening ceremony in 720p. the piratebay right now is just a
mess. there are so many copies but either they are from crappy feeds (eurosport/nbc) or are crappy
encodes or watermarked. nobody just has a nice 720p full bbc version!

i don't know about 720p, but i downloaded the 1080i version of the bbc and it's wonderful:

yikes! the 1080 is 28.51 gib.
i think i'll hold out another day or two and hope for a 720 scene release of the bbc feed.

^ good luck with that.

the only scene release for anything olympics-related so far are from 2hd (canadian feed) and
"olympians", "balls", and "wheels" (all eurosport feed). my guess would be that the latter three
constitute a single release group using several different labels. if any of the british groups could be
bothered to take on the olympian task (pun intended) of capping an event of this sort, you'd think they'd
have got under way by now... 😉

fyi, as far as i'm aware live broadcasts on british tv are primarily released via http://thebox.bz , which is
not affiliated with the scene.

the blurb on the show page is descriptively misleading: "the games of the xxx olympiad". i suspect the
xxx olympiad would have met less resistance from the british public!

lol
the ioc numbers the olympiads by roman numerals
silly
not porn xxx

by now, there are not one but two of the scene releases ferry was waiting for:

2012-07-29 - 16:00:38 - london.2012.bbc.olympic.opening.ceremony.hdtv.x264-angelic ~ 3gb
2012-07-29 - 15:47:12 - london.2012.bbc.olympic.opening.ceremony.720p.hdtv.x264-angelic ~ 9gb
2012-07-29 - 12:25:46 - london.2012.olympics.opening.ceremony.bbc.broadcast.pdtv.x264-w4f ~ 3gb

so, contrary to what i assumed, they really were just a bit slow off the marks. good thing i'm not
competing in the olympic guessing event. 😛

eta: the 720p is up at tpb, the two sds are so far only available via non-torrent means.
