XBMC is by far the best media centre, it is so customisable and powerful.

Fawaz, the two blu-ray movies that doesn’t have sound maybe are in DTS (Digital Theater Systems) - which wouldn’t work on the TV’s sound system unless you connect a 5.1 surround system to your WD (western digital HD player??) t o output the sound via the optical cable (toslink).
Hope that helps!

apologies for an ignorant newbie question: I have read the comments and still wonder why so much attention is to whether or not the DVD player can play HD or not. Why would you burn the file on a DVD in the first place instead of playing directly from the hard drive? Can anyone point me to a “HD for dummies” reference? Thanks!

First off all, I would like to thank you all for the great site. I have two questions please:
1-I had downloaded about six bluray movies and after I played the movies in WD to TV
Some of the movie does not have sound. Is there any way to fix the sound?
2- Is there any software helpful to make the download faster?
Thank you.
Regards,
Fawaz

Nice share sharky. As we move up on the 1 year anniversary of your post, it is amazing how far video formats have come. Even the simple phrase “High Definition” has taken on many meanings. 1080 transmissions by TV stations are common and on the ‘net for download. If I ignore the detractors jealous flame jobs, this is a nice thread. Kudos all those that came to learn and shared politely.

“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^^

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.
