x264 files

[crossfade]

Crossfade, 1.4GB are perfectly fine. (less than a GB more, ahha). I just don't want to end up with a 720p file that's the size of a DVDr or more, because I'm just not fond of downloading too many GBs.

I did not mention 1.4 GB is the filesize for "60 minutes" TV eps.
720p movies are generally DVD5 and rarely DVD9 size (this is for longer movies)
but in the end these are better than DVDs as you get a higher resolution than with DVDs (that is when you play the file on your computer 'cause DVD players can't display HD resolution)

anyway; the sites I named are not meant for you then

I was wondering about this...what is the source for above-dvd quality rips?

bluray rip
HDdvd rip
and yes files are big
from 4gig for a 720p h264
to 25gig for a 1080i ts mpeg2
as soon your display is over 37inches HD quality is a necessity
i cant watch my 700meg divx on a 42inches anymore
and a 2cds is still ok if i am watching from a 4 meters distance.

and yes H264 is the best compressing codec out there for large file even if vc1 is not bad either but lets go freesource instead of Microsoft shall we....

by the way if you got a xbox 360 you can feed it with HD vc1 file and hop you got yourself a HD player qs long the soundtrack is encoded qith a microsoft format.

H264 in MKV container..... nothing apart from your computer wil lplay it for now
but there is good hope to have it integrated in future players as it has been done with divx. some of the tv feed are already in h264 ...
