Hi

I have HDBits, which is my favourite site, so I'm wondering if I should go after SDBits?

What do folk here, who are members there, think of it?

Cheers
 
About SDbits: do they provide subtitles with their releases like on HDbits? English is not my first language so I like to watch english movie with english subs.
 
well if you like the high definition content of HD-Bits, you might want to check out Bit-hdtv of other high def trackers. SDbits caters to people who like Standard Def formats. Goem or x264 are better trackers than SD-Bits in my opinion, but SD-bits is still very new and may one day meet of improve the content of those other 2 trackers.
 
If you're addicted to HD content and don't afraid of downloading big files already, then I suggest you not go for SDbits. I remember there were 10k members when SDbits first started and now there are only about 4k members.

The good thing about SDbits is that there are many good season packs that are available in SD only.
 
if you want untouched DVDs or DVD x264encodes -yes
other wise no, dont wast your time like i did

if your gonna be looking for invite, look in hdbits forum

Go after it? There is a signup link in the HDBits forum trash for HDBits members to use. It should still work, and was working when I signed up at SDBits near the end of January. You need to be logged in for it to work.

I don't use SDBits much but I think I might be using it more now they are allowing TV stuff that has not been released on dvd.
 
sd bits is part of my collection, sometimes you dont really need HD for a certain movie, and want to get it rather quickly. that or sometimes you are strapped for HDD space.

you can download dvd quality 1.5gig movies in about 25 minutes if you can d/l at 1mB/s

My main concern about x264/mkv files for SD content is that they are not compatible with standalone DVD players. XviD are more convenient in this way...

you and everyone else =p

that's the ONLY reason to EVER use xvid. compatibility

In the future though, hopefully at least, x264 will replace it, on standalone blu ray players alike. i cant see any other outcome....


also, if you have a laptop, and i think most people do nowadays (at least 1 in their house), you can just keep those x264 vids on the computer and hook the laptop up to the tv. that's what i do and it works wonderfully.

Thanks for the info. That's how I signed up a couple of weeks ago. I did a search for SDBITS on HDBITS and found the link you are referring to which allowed me to sign-up with no invite.

I wasn't aware of this facility when I started this thread, obviously.

My standalone player handles mkv/.x264 with ease (the popcorn hour). There's also the Western Digital HD player which works great.
