i think Totti is right dvd-r is better than x264

x264 blu-ray rips because it's a perfect balance of image size to image quality. but i like quality x-vid dvd rips too because of the small size
it took you 4 posts before adding any value to this thread. before that you were just talking shit.
obviously the best quality is going to be downloading full blu-rays which are about 25gb+ in size which is unacceptable to most torrenters who are doing this to save money, not spend more and more money on hard drives. a perfectly acceptable compromise can be achieved with x264 rips of blu-rays.
also, more pixels doesn't necessarily mean better quality, just as more mp on a camera doesn't necessarily mean better quality. it just means a bigger picture, that is all.

I'm looking at getting a bluray and projector. Can someone show me where I can learn how to properly burn for the bluray? It is new to me :/
XviD. Good quality and filesize.
LOL more than half the people posting in this thread dont seem to know the first thing about picture quality.
There are two things you have to consider, standard definition and high def.
SD:
Obviously a DVDR would be the best quality, since its an exact replica of the original source. After that comes encodes, generally SD encodes are mostly xvid, though there are some P2P/home encodes that you can get in x264. GENERALLY, the rule of thumb is, the greater the filesize, the better quality (larger filesize usually represents a higher bitrate etc)
HD:
With HD, obviously a full bluray is the best quality, again since they are exact replicas of the original source (but ridiculus in filesize). After that comes your encodes, two types, 1080p and 720p. You have to understand that higher resolution (1080p) isnt ALWAYS better than 720p, its just more pixels. Again, you have to consider the bitrate (which usually can be judged from the filesize), the higher the better. With HD rips, you have to consider both resolution and bitrate to find the best rip. And you'll find that HD rips are always encoded using the x264 codec.
When downloading, you need to consider the following:
1) Are you going to be viewing your films on a HDTV or not?
2) What is your harddrive capacity and/or bandwidth limitations? Obviously if you have a bandwith limit, or are low on hdd space (and cant afford a new one), you may have to form a compromise).
Me, I generally go for HD movies, roughly 4-5gb 720p for your average movie and 8-10gb for action movies which i KNOW are brilliant and worth getting in the best quality.
Hope that clears things up.

It is really is sad people still think this way or don't know what they are talking about but still give advice
No one is giving advice here and why is it sad? that's just plain stupid if I am wrong then so be it.....

I have to reencode movies for my hiPhone, which has a 320x240 screen, so as long as the quality isn't bad it doesn't matter

excelent post!! i prefer also 720p rips!!
but in your post say that hdrips can be only x264 encodes!! correct me if i am wrong, but there are xvid rips as well (so called afr's, aprox 2 Gb in size, released by p2p groups like prodj, dzone3 and others)

Used to dl xvid (dvdrip) and dvdr for good movies. Now that i have a better monitor, I grab the x264 rips instead of dvdr, and only grab bluray xvid rips for smaller size, as they still look good when the old xvids do not anymore (blocky)
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but DVDR is not high def, and the bluray rips are (x264), so they would be higher quality, yes?
