Disadvantages of HD over DVD

[ryan20021982]

Pretty much, don't download scene HD releases, their standards are way too low.

they started to release full disks, not rips.. on scenehd there was already about 50 of them

There is only 16 full rips on scenehd right now

Bit-hdtv has over 170 of them

But drives are cheap

In my case that's not true, since I don't have, um... a "steady source of income". But it's not because I'm too lazy/stupid to have a job. It's because I can't have a job yet

Perhaps I'll look into HD again when I can afford to buy a lot of hard drives. But, until then, I think that they're a waste of space

ok let me rephrase it...lol

there cheap enuf to make it worth it if you enjoy the quality
some people dont care about the difference between the dvdrips and the hdrips and some do
just personal opinion

Actually
dvds are only 480p

720×480=480P
1280×720=720P
1920×1080=1080P

A lot of HDTV looks worse than DVD because of the poor bitrates, but BD/HD-DVD and encodes from them is so much better.

That's not true. It depends on the situation and HDTV can provide more than enough bitrate for decent PQ. I've seen internal encodes from HDTV that were better than scene encodes from BluRay/HDDVD for example.

Yeah I didn't think sceners released full disks, those ones on sceneHD are internal rips I believe. even though its "sceneHD"
