HD vs. DVD !

[bikernin]

despite the large variety of HDrips available today which are essentially the same size as that of DVDs, why are DVDs still so popular? which one do you prefer downloading? We are talking about movies only!
HD :
1) much better quality for same filesize
2) need hdtv, no use playing on pc. not compatible with standard dvd players
DVD :
1) can be played on standard dvd players
2) larger selection
3) menus
thats my analysis of it. so where would you invest your 4 GB of download?

hd
2. You can play on pc! need to have good monitor (1280x720 duh) and good video card
3. Selection is catching up
4. FULL SCREEN HIGH QUALITY
5. Just use component out on your computer to connect to hdtv

HD all the way my friend...

actually 10gb's for 1080p Trebeck.

im talking 720p and DVD isos which are essentially the same size. i would of/c dload HD and watch them on my 19" WS monitor

I prefer to download DVD Iso, But only because my monitor is not good.

The HDrips have the best quality of course.

720p is so 2006 man...

but ya i know what you mean...for me, I just grab the 720p if its not available in 1080p rather then dvd...they are a thing of the past for me.

damn who voted for the 3rd option??

[Adman65]

I just started downloading HDRips because I plan to start burning my video files to DVD's to leave my HD space open for my music which I access everyday; where as my video is more like just having a huge libary.

dvd-iso for me..coz i got a dvd player which is not compatible for hd rips..well i dont watch them in my pc.

also i doubt is it gonna make any difference between divx and dvd-r when u r watching them on ur pc..?
