Anyone have suggestion for finding a dvd quality movie other than looking at the file size. what is the extension for a dvd file, like .avi, . mpg, etc..

they are usually in vcd format, or also may have been ripped to avi format.

If you want full DVD video plus 5.1 sound then you will find a 700meg file will only carry just over an hour of the movie. This means most of this quality are split into 2 (maybe 3) files.

Look for a resolution higher than 500 (width) with a ratio of 2.35:1

Look for these and preview them.

's right BUT don't believe all you read because the file info can be as c**p as the files themselves.

Use all of the above and you might find the odd movie you want.

Have you tried Bittorrent downloads? They're much more reliable as to quality.

I have found that the films on Overnet via Sharereactor are often in svcd format and downloaded as .cue & .bin files in a group with an info file and sometimes a preveiw file and the download speeds are getting faster as more peers join in the fun .
