IPT - 966 BDRips and 3889 BRRips
TL - 531 BDRips and 1397 BRRips
I think Pretome also offered that kind of rips, but I can't give stats for that one as I'm not registered.
IPT has more BDRips/BRRips but many of them are shitty teams encodes.
i'd stick with TL if i were you, and more precisely with ViSiON, SANTi, FLAWL3SS and alternatively D-Z0N3 (for brrip.xvid at least).

ltrg, prodji (leechturk their home) also do the job well... plus skaliwagz (ptn) and a bunch on x264...
Did he say they are not? :unsure:Quote:

so, what do u think??
i know that FLAWL3SS belongs to IPT, but most of their releases are also available on TL.
the shitty encodes i was referring to are the ones made by FLAWL3SS-wannabes with no experience who try their luck at encoding, put their name in the release title like they were a well-known team and ask for rep points in the torrent description.

so be it, anyway i download mainly 720p's, and where not available, the dvd's.........
BRRips suck donkeyballs anway!
So this is the part where I was going to ask about the difference between BDRip and BRRip? I had always assumed the terms were interchangeable, googled it and so far this is what I came up with.
BDRip, encode from a bluray disk
BRRip, encode from a BDRip
Is that about right?
right, except that a brrip is an encode of a bluray release (generally 1080p)
BRRips are XviD reencodes of (mostly) scene x264 Blu-Ray Rips. Pretty much the same what aXXo does with DVDR. Basically you take scene releases, encode them to a lower quality and tag them with your group name. They are crap.
BDRips are XviD encodes of a Blu-Ray source. They are released if the Blu-Ray is earlier available than the DVD. If you insist on the inferior XviD codec and scene sizes for whatever reason, they're OK. I prefer HD x264 encodes.
There's a big difference between release groups and reencoders. Release groups (scene or P2P) have access to original sources like DVDs or Blu-Rays. The earlier the better. Reencoders just convert stuff that others released to different formats.
you're wrong. there's not much difference between good brrips and bdrips - it really depends on the encoder.
Ok, one comes from a 1080p x264 source, the other one from the Blu-Ray. Both are converted to SD XviD. They both suck in terms of quality.Quote:

And thereby decreasing the size considerably and maintaining DVD and above quality.Quote:

depends on your definition of quality. i think you miss the point of BRRips/BDRips Xvid:Quote:

And if the release groups weren't there, they couldn't do that in the first place. I have much more respect for people who buy/get movies and release them on the internet. Without people with sources there wouldn't be any filesharing and there wouldn't be any scene. They pay money or have good connections and provide all of us with content. The one who puts an untouched Blu-Ray on the net first deserves far more respect than any of those reencoders. He also takes the whole risk. Groups who do reencodes may know how to encode movies, but they don't provide any new content. A good release group is a combination of access to sources and great encoding skills.Quote:

Reencoders provide an encoding service. Release groups provide content.
Every re-encoder gives thanks to the original source in their nfo or somewhere in the release notes.I dont care who provides what,As a downloader I am thankful for the encoder and the source and thats that.Quote:

Thanks for the lecture but that isint the topic of interest here now,is it?Quote:

I prefer quality equal or better to 720p. DVD quality looks really bad on my monitor.
I don't burn any movies on DVD anymore. I have way to many burned CD/DVDs already in my appartment. I store everyhting on HDs nowadays.
So I see no point why I shouldn't go for the best. Especially if it's free. I know those XviD encodes are popular, but not for me. I always download the best quality I can get. SD XviD isn't an option for me.
Its not about what you download or what you dont.Its for people for whom BR/BD Rips matters.Quote:

Once again , considering your prodigious collections, it is more than passing strange that this is all you people discuss when it comes to movies.:blink:
Needless to say but I will anyway , I think that you are all entirely full of shit.
For him it is. As it is for me ... when I say BRRips suck donkeyballs it's because I only get 1080p releases nowadays to stream to my PCH and watch on my 47" Full HD TV.Quote:

Others might fiind them usefull and/or enough quality-wise and they will state that here too. It's not because someone's opinion differs that he shouldn't be able to express it.
Compared to 1080p rips, BRRips and BDRips suck imo.
@ Idol: When I'm done watching a movie I delete it. I have stopped collecting them since I hardly ever watch the same movie twice. And if I do I'll redownload it.
heheheQuote:

I think for repeat viewing ( if you are over 12) something really has to ( for whatever reason) "speak to you" and so personally except for pretense I don't see the point of more than a minimal amount of dust collectors .
Maybe if there was only a limited amount films and they never made any new ones to investigate I would feel differently.
As to the topic I always thought Marshall McLuhan was a wanker.:idunno:
