“Blu-Ray rips (in these XviD *.avi files, and otherwise) offer better video quality than DVD5 or DVD9 disks”

A bluray ripper has access to the resolution of the bluray disk. A dvd publisher has access to the resolution of the master of the film. If they both output to 720 resolution then the dvd publisher will be able to make a better quality video.

If the dvd quality is inferior then the dvd publisher did a poor job. Probably on purpose.

This is a perfect example of a little knowledge gone way wrong. There is so much mis-information and outright incorrect info in this article it is impossible to address point by point.
Part of the blame does come from scene groups in tag identifiers that once were used to indicate only the final output rather than trying to also include the source info AND output in the tag/title which is being done now.
The downside, is that we may now be trying to correct this mis-information for months or even years to come as noobs (and even some old timers) trying to learn-themselves with ‘reading up’ should they stumble across this article.

BRRip = An XviD encode from a Blu-Ray release (i.e. a 1080p *.mkv file).

BDRip = An XviD encode directly from a source Blu-Ray disk.

it not true
BDrip and BRRip are the same mean.
When Bluray Disck firts released some Groups used BluRayRip(BRRip),Other some used BlurayDiscRip (BDRip) even some used BLuRip

For example
Surfs.Up.720p.BluRip.DTS.x264-H2
A Bug’s Life (1998) BRRip 720p XviD AC3-FLAWL3SS

@43
These rips are really useful when you are on an SD system. When they are well done, BDRip are better than classical Xvid releases, even the 2CD ones. And it takes less space than a DVD5/9. Then, they mostly offer more various subs languages than scene releases.

So if they aren’t accepted by the scene, who really cares about that ? Like a previous comment said, People don’t care about the source of their movies, they just want releases which satisfied them. And if it’s P2P releases, they will go to the places where they’ll find them. If I have to make a choice between SCC and TL or IPT, I’ll prefer to keep the second ones which offer more P2P releases like BDRip.

While the original article got a few things wrong… the claim that standalone DivX players support 720p being one of them…. the idea behind XviD BRRips and BDRips still has merit.
Yes, they’re only standard definition but they can and in fact often do look better than an equivalent DVD rip, so if you’re using SD equipment, then it makes sense. I know, because I’ve made quite a few myself and done comparisons, but it probably depends on the converting program you’re using and how good it is. In fact, a properly done SD encode using a HD source can sometimes look better than the original DVD, and often looks just as good, whereas a DVD rip will have some degree of quality loss.

You’ve only got to think about it. DVDs are obviously only standard definition. DVDs don’t use square pixels so even if you encode at 720 x ? resolution you must resize the image. Resize and you must lose quality. Often not a lot, often it’s barely noticeable, but you in fact lose quality. And many DVDs aren’t all that flash to begin with. So when you resize and encode using a much higher definition source you can retain more detail.

@28: YOU NEVER ENCODE FROM AND ENCODE.
That’s just plain dumb. Why not? Even if you’re encoding from an encoding which was an encoding of an encoding, if it’s better than DVD quality and you’ve got a choice, why wouldn’t you pick the better quality video for your source? Is there some encoding rule which prevents the use of a particular source despite it being the better quality one?

XviD encodes from HD sources certainly still have a place. I prefer to download a HD source and convert it to SD for use with my standalone player as that way I can still keep a HD copy, but not everyone has a fast enough PC or the time to do it themselves.

BRRips will never be accepted by scene. These rips are useless.

I like these BD/BRRips. HQ (not HD) way better than a 2cd xvid and way smaller than a proper HD mkv. I like them a lot.

I still dl 700mb xvids (its all a shitty cam is worth) and the good stuff I grab in 1080p

LMFAO what a joke. And by the way, they ARE NOT scene groups. just a bunch of losers, including DEVISE, who upload their shit onto faggot ass TL and other lame ass trackers. if you want quality and speed then scene ftw

lol u r funny^^

anyone can explain what means the new tag they use “480p”

FLAWLESS got a lot better. Probably the best. I would love to see sharky update this article, with new information.

Thanks for for the tutorial, very informative. Can anyone tell how I can burn these onto a DVD to play on a standard DVD player using a Mac? Also, it says its best to watch on a HDTV but if your watching it on a DVD player through a scart connection, then how would it make a difference? Thanks.

Anyone downloaded the BRRips from NPW that are being released on Rev TT? They claim to be true HD 720p, unlike the Prodji and D-z0n3 releases. HOw do they compare in quality to the Prodji and D-z0n3 releases? I think the reason that Prodji and D-z0n3 releases are superior to most others, including Flawless, is that they use sharpening filters tha tmake the picture look incredibly sharp.

“if you want quality and speed go scene!” <- lol? yeah i’m sure 700 mb scene bullshit release way better than 3 gb bdrip. what a bunch of kiddies.

of course these are not better than 720p or 1080p (.mkv) but still WAAAAAAAYYYYYY better than 1 or 2 cd releases. watch out for prodji and d-zone. also maybe tlf but NEVER EVER GO FOR FLAWLESS. this idiot group or person supposed to release bdrip but its fucking worse than 1 cd lol.

ok, i really do not care about re-encoders or who the hell ever puts the movies out. i just want to have the movie in good quality unless the only copy i can find is shitty, but ill still get it. im not a high-def person, i mean yeah, the quality is damn great, but i am just worried that blu-ray is going to do to the dvds, what dvds did to vhs. because, im too damn broke to buy movies, or a blu-ray player, and if i download the blu-ray copies, then its gonna take forever cuz they are like over 2 gigs i do believe, not to mention, i would have to upgrade the ram in my xbox in order for it to run high-def movies. it seems like a whole of a hell lot of trouble to go though for just a better quality version of a film. i know there are alot more ppl now-a-days that prefer high-def, but even though i don’t mind it, and if things were better, id probably goto it, it just doesnt seem worth it. thats my opinion.

well - i have to say that it isnt true hd. but if u have a standard dvd player that plays divx, this is the best quality avialble for a standard dvd player. the res may be the same as normal dvds, but the details still looks harper than a dvdrip. so bdrips are the BESt AVAILABLE QUALITY FOR A STANDARD DVD PLAYER. So these releases are NOT completely useless - they are perfect for those with divx dvd players and hdtvs. (especially if they can connect via usb then u can just put the file on a usb flash drive and watch!)

All fun an games, its not HD but i can see these are useful to those who barely afford to buy a dvd player let alone a hd box and tv.

Anything that improves the quality of the crappy 640x whatever rips is a good thing in my book…

…and since when did scene become the height of quality.

Wow… Never before have I heard something so ridiculous. Sorry, but this is NOT HD. There is no way to “retain detail” from the HD copy once you’ve resized it to 480p. The only way this would look better than an encode from a DVD is if the DVD wasn’t mastered correctly in the first place.

You don’t want to download 8-12GB for a real 1080p HD movie? 4-6GB for 720p still too much? Fine, stay the hell out of the way of the real HD aficionados and stick with your 700MB XviD rips. Don’t confuse the noobs by telling them that this shit is HD.

Lol, you just got ridiculed in HDbits.

1. Not HD (SD in fact)
2. Encode of an encode -> instafail
3. Xvid??? LMAO
4. Blu-ray Disc -> BD, not some HURRRDURRBRRR
5. scene idiots can go fuck themselves with a cucumber

By: erkahn

erkahn — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:35:41 +0000

Wow, this article is fail. These are not scene groups and those releases are not HD. They are sourced from HD, but encoded at a much lower resolution, that’s why you can play them on your SD XviD DVD players.

Jesus, WTF?

1. YOU NEVER ENCODE FROM AND ENCODE.
2. THE TECHNOLOGY IS CALLED BLU-RAY DISC –> Blu-ray Disc (two words) SO THE NAME “BRR” IS COMPLETELY STUPID. “BRR” IS MOSTLY USED IN A DIFFERENT MEANING. LIKE: “BRR, IT’S COLD”.
3. THIS IS SO CRAPPY AND IT MAKES ME ALMOST CRY REALIZING THAT SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD THAT.
