BDRips-BRRips

Reencoders just convert stuff that others released to different formats.

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

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.

Someone who can get retail sources is much more valuable to filesharing than someone who knows how to make an XviD out of an x264.

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.

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

They both suck in terms of quality.

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


- they're standalone friendly
- quality is close to 720p releases and way better than DVDrips or untouched DVDs
- they fit on DVD-R (just like a DVD5)

that said, i see no point in x264 BDRips/BRRips encodes.

I don't watch movies on a standalone. I don't even own a DVD player.

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.

Yeah right.

I musnt have said "every" since I dont know every release group out there.But atleast the popular re-encoders does.But you seem to be so fixated on such stuff which to me is pretty silly.

[cinephilia]

my point is simply that bdrips-xvid are not useless but as you said, there's no point in downloading bdrips while you can just grab and play 720p releases. that's the reason why i don't get this sudden interest for bdrips.x264.mkv

Once again , considering your prodigious collections, it is more than passing strange that this is all you people discuss when it comes to movies.

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.
When I compare a BRRip and a 1080p release with my equipment I see a huge difference, hence the reason why in my personal opinion BRRips and BDRips are a waste of my time and effort.

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.
