Is it actually possible to get movies or samples with a 1024/768 or superior resolution size?
Then where? <_<

it may be possible but look forward to a 3GB download. :blink:

why not just set your resolution to 800x600 when you watch the videos? will look alot better.

also, it&#39;s VERY rare that you will find a video in 1024 resolution

I doubt you could get XGA resulution, PAL DVDs are encoded at 720x576 and re-sizing it would make it look horrible. :x

I have seen files that big around but the files sizes were huge. The problem with it is that there were hardly any sources b/c of that file size, only one guy had it and if he wasn&#39;t on you just sat and waited.

Yes, that resolution would be no good it would be all streched out if u need a large resolution I&#39;d advise the one Amarjit posted (720x480/576) 576 is for pal so if u live in the united states most likely u have a ntsc which is 480

seeing as dvd&#39;s are 720x576, i would think it isn&#39;t possible to get good quality at 1024x768

i fail to see the logic of this post
if the quality of dvd&#39;s is excellent, then surely a higher resultion would be better picture quality, rather than worse (depending of course on encoding bitrates etc)

1024 x 768 DVD rips are shit... they just don&#39;t exist.

if you find one, i&#39;m sure it&#39;s just a resized video, and if the original dvd video is 720x576, you can&#39;t get better quality than that.

it&#39;s just like getting a .jpg picture in 800x600 and save it in 1024x768. you&#39;ll lose quality AND the picture won&#39;t look any better.

if you reencode a divx (or xvid) movie to resize it to 1024 x 768, you&#39;ll lose quality AND the picture won&#39;t look any better either.

But why can&#39;t I even find some 720 x 576 resolution movies ?

I think what he means is that if you rip a DVD to 1024x768 the quality will be bad because the DVD was originally at 720x576, and it isn&#39;t possible to increase the resolution of something while retaining the quality, regardless of the encoding bitrate.

Basically if the source (the DVD) is lower than 1024x768, then what&#39;s the point of increasing it to something higher? It&#39;s like getting a cam release of a movie and playing it fullscreen rather than at 320x320 or whatever it was encoded at.

If, however, they made DVDs at a resolution like 1152x864 then making a rip at 1024x768 would be no problem..

Warner Bros. made a 1000x540, high-quality trailer for The Matrix Reloaded. It was right around 97MB for 2 1/2 minutes.

That&#39;s comes out to 4.56GB for a 120 minute long film. ;)

anyway, this is not in the standards. play a 1000x540 movie on your regular TV and it&#39;ll be no better than a regular dvd movie, because regular TV&#39;s don&#39;t have sufficient resolution to notice the better quality.

that&#39;s why VCD/SVCD look so better on your stand-alone dvd player than in your PC -- the TV resolution conceals the glitches and imperfections of the lower quality encodes.

Yes, there is no such resolution of 1024x768 on DVD&#39;s and if there was going from a smaller resolution to a bigger one would always give u worse quality so going from 720x480 to 1024x768 would be just horrible.

this was what i meant
if the manufacturers produced higher res dvd&#39;s then the quality would of course be better
