list your favourite HD release group

ESiR & SEPTiC

[becomehokage]

could you guys rank the quality of the HD movies released by the different groups. occasionally movies are released by multiple groups and it'd be nice to know which to go for. i've heard good things about ESiR but i'd like to hear your opinions about the rest of them.

downloading both and testing isn't a good option for me because currently my PC's only hooked up to a 19" screen. somewhere along this year i'm getting myself a 50" TV so i'm buffing up my HD storage for now.

some of the release groups:
hV - scene
CtrlHD - non-scene
ESiR - non-scene
ill - non-scene
hV - scene
SEPTiC - scene
CDDHD - scene
REVEiLLE - scene
SZ - ?????
chakra - ?????
sinners - ?????
NiX - ?????
PRiDE - ?????

thanks guys.

chakra by far the best release group imo

How come original BD movies are like 30-40Mbps bitrate when 5-6Mbps is enough in these encodes?

Sounds fishy.

Which groups actually do 720p releases at 1280x768?

I see a few 1280x534 on Bit-HDTV. Some where much bigger than others too. I was just browsing for Iron Man and there was 1 at 2.56 gigs and one at 4.41 gigs and a couple at t 6.6 gigs which is probably the one I would get.

What's generally the size of a really good quality 720p release?

Sorry I'm new to this. Normally I'll just get DVD9 DVDs but HD rips are better quality so I might as well get HD rips since they are smaller than DVD9 DVDs as well.

I'm also very curious about this, as I'm very new to HD too. I usually just go for the smallest size, and I always grab only 720p releases. The quality from what I've grabbed has always looked excellent(beautiful actually) to me. But would grabbing the larger file sizes of the same 720p movie mean better quality than the smaller file size?
