BDRips-BRRips

[Lucifer9999]

so be it, anyway i download mainly 720p's, and where not available, the dvd's.........

[Disme]

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?

[cinephilia]

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.

It's like encoding FLAC or a CD to 128 MP3.

Reencoders just convert stuff that others released to different formats.

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

the think is they are quite inferior x264 720p, and half or a third of their size.. with a decent hard and processor, i see no harm downloading rips (scene or p2p) in x264, al least 720p, ripped directly from the bluray.. .. or, x264 rips from dvd's (kind of sdbits.org content).. the same size with that xvid encodes from bluray rips, and slightly better quality..

[cinephilia]

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.
