ESiR - Best HD Release group?

Thanks for the info on this thread. I have been downloading all my fave movies as scene releases from TL and have sometimes been pretty disappointed by the quality compared to actual Blu-Ray / HD-DVD. Now I know there are better releases I am going to have to get myself onto hdbits by trading some invites when my initial 30 days here is up.

Feel like I have wasted over 100GB of DL though :(
 
In terms of actual transparency to source and maintaining all grain, are esir and ctrlhd really better than eureka though?

I've never seen any comparisons between eureka vs. ctrlhd or esir, but I wonder what they would show. If you want a quick release thats small and convenient, grab the scene, but if you want the absolute best quality, grab the most transparent encode (size shouldn't matter if you really care about quality).

Those frames are different. Look at the size of the eyes in each picture. The Wiki one has bigger eyes therefor it is a different frame.
 
Oh yes you do have 1 rep WOW thats alot
and means nothing

Internal releases are by far better quality than scene releases
Everyone knows that, well almost everyone
 
They are actually not that great groups, because alot of times they compress films to dvd5/dvd9 even when they obviously need the bitrate, and alot of times scene releases are better because of that....

so if dvd sizes, and not quality is important to you, I guess they are good...

You are saying groups like CtrlHD and ESiR encode their releases to fit onto DVD5's and DVD9's thus lowering their bitrate. That is absolutely false. ESiR and CtrlHD go COMPLETELY against that moral. They care about quality not speed. Thats why they release movies in which ever size they think is appropriate. Scene groups on the other hand, compress their releases to fit onto DVD5's and DVD9's and because they want to get their releases out the fastest...jerk.

are you kidding?.they are both very much about dvd sizes, why would you say they aren't?.

dude, are you even member of hdbits?.


see for yourself......on hdbits there is exactly 11 esir 1080p movies larger than 9gb out of 64 releases.

Yes, I am a member of HDBits. The fact that SOME of their releases fit onto DVD9's and DVD5's has nothing to do with it, they encode to any size they seem appropriate. Some movies just don't need a really high bitrate (ie. 27 dresses @ 720p :: ~4.4GB) compared to some that do need a really high one (ie. transformers @ 720p :: ~8GB). Ask in the HDBits forums.Also, Take in count that animated movies need a very small bitrate.

Get your shit straight before you call people jerks. Its a known fact that CtrlHD and ESiR dont try and squeeze all of their releases onto DVD9's or 5's.
