Standoff S01E09 HR HDTV AC3 5 1 XviD-NBS

hr b4 regular 350mb? 😛 (standoff.s01e09.hdtv.xvid-xor)

i've never given it much thought as to the file size of these shows. but now that i read the previous two
posts, i decided to look at some of my previously downloaded shows. the 700 mb file clearly has more
pixels as reported by my quicktime pro player. a quick visual inspection also showed that the 700 mb file
was vastly superior to the 350 mb version.

ofcourse, that assumes you have a high definition video source to view these shows. for me, i use my
laptop conected to my 1080i tv set via a dvi cable. so i can appreciate the difference. however, if you
view the shows on a standard 480i tv set, you may not gain any advantage from the larger files.

i'm not a super techno geek, so someone else may have more information to provide. but i'm sold on the
larger file size.

that\'s an excellent point you bring up.

my old internet provider [cough: cox communications a cable company] used to cap my in/out traffic as
well.

my new internet provider [cough: at&t dsl] does not cap my in/out data traffic. which allows me to give
back to the torrent community in a big way.
