decent computer or not, some people prefer xvid,
period. and some of us can't afford to just go out
and buy a "decent computer", its just not that
simple for some people. to assume it is, one must
be selfish and entitled to think everyone's life is as
easy as theirs.
i, for one, greatly appreciate the continued releases
of xvid and the effort it must take to put it up for
us. i mean, it must be so difficult to do since it
seems everyone is switching to x264, which must
be infinitely easier to do. (/end sarcasm)
however, i really do appreciate people trying to
still provide us less fortunate to not have decent
computers with xvid. so, thank you.
i thank anyone for and upload. the comment about getting a decent computer is out of line. if you are
here you are more or less a cheap'o like the rest of us. get a job and buy cable and you won't need to
download shameless.
it's not about having a decent computer, some people don't have the data to support the higher
bit-rate files, my friend is only on 12gig of internet a month. she'd love the higher quality ones
but her monthly data allowance just isn't sufficient to have the higher quality that most of us
enjoy, whereas i have unlimited broadband internet i can download the 720p's as often as i want.
and in most cases, with the x264's, torrents are too fucking slow; so most people prefer the xvid's
because it's faster to download.
thanks for proving that you are just another idiot.
learn what bit-rate means and what filesize is.
read the post i was responding to. in the same sentence they mention bitrate and download caps. then
they talk about 720p's and x264 encodes taking too long to download. i was a little confused as to
their argument, but i think educated thinks all x264 encodes are 720p. i dismissed the discussion
about bitrate vs file size as irrelevant to their point. their point seemed to be that x264's are
larger and take longer to download, which is incorrect.
but if you are talking about two different files of approximately the same length, and the
audio/video streams take about the same proportion of the file, then their
average bitrates will usually be proportional to their file size.
formula : average bitrate [kbps]=(size [mb])/(length [s])*(8 [b/b])*(1024 [kb/mb])
