What exactly does that mean?
FAIL.
Even the older 40 inch 1080p models look great.

Did you happen to read the post I was quoting?
"people are to concerned with clarity when in reality your eyes can't see clearly."
I'll take the quality of Blu-ray over the quality of downloaded movies.
I bet you'd have a hard time telling the difference.
The quality is better (It should be since it's got a higher bitrate) but I'll take the unnoticeable quality difference and lower price of Blu-Ray over Blu-Ray any day.
Plus I don't have to bother with disks, storing them, getting them scratched, etc.

You can download 720p and 1080p movies. They take forever to complete and vary in quality due to other encoding options -- but they look good for the most part and are free. I only download hi-def movies and shows I really think are worth it. The computer does a fair job of upconverting standard definition tv and DVDs on its own. I'm sure I'll get a blu ray soon enough, but I've got too many gigs worth to watch as it is.
Ugh.
I have Road Runner (Whatever you have it must be broadband) and I can download a movie in under three hours (Which isn't forever). WMV-HD quality does not vary much if it all because the scene has certain specs the videos must abide by.
With Uverse I can pull an 8GB 720p rip in about an hour, maybe 90 mins. very worthwhile
We might be talking about different kinds of downloads.
*dons eyepatch and parrot*
What kind of speed are you getting? I get around 20mbps but on Giganews I get about 14mbps and movies usually take about three hours (I've never timed it but that's about how long it takes).
Yeah what are you talking about?
I'm talking about Blu-Ray rips.
If we're talking about torrents, that all depends on what you're downloading and all your software and hardware settings. One can certainly get new movies downloaded quickly.
LOL, torrents, shut up.....
Newsgroups then? Not much difference between the files found in both places, but there can be differences in HD video files to be sure.
There probably isn't a difference between files found in different locations, and of course HD video files differ, but I've never seen a poor quality rip.
I even once got a rip that was big enough to fit on a single layer DVD, I thought it would look like crap but it was hard to tell the difference.
True, blu ray/hd dvd rips are hard to mess up if you are going through the trouble of making one. hdtv rips seem to be a different matter.
blah blah blah blah blah irc... blah blah blah blah blah newsgroups... stop living in the past and stop acting like a / !
The thing is, the scene has standards, and on top of that there are only a handful of rippers, or even less. This makes sense when you consider the knowledge, equipment, and encoding time involved. Not every John, , and Harry are ripping Blu-Ray movies.
So for example a rip can only be 2 Pass VBR. Also movies 81 minutes or more must be DVD9 and DVD9 rips must use the entire space on the disk.
the scene... hahaha. am i back in the '90s or what? /join #blu-ray rips
If you have to have a 1080p HDTV in order to have a good blu ray experience then what's the point? I think the PS3 would probably be the best deal if I was going to get a blu ray player because it's a blu ray player and video game system. Two things would stop me from getting one right now: the price and I already have too many video game systems as it is. I have a PSP, PS2, and XBOX 360. I just want to experience DVDs in an enjoyable non sucking ass way on my new HDTV. I have seen standard DVDs on an HDTV. It's not a pretty sight.
And a bad thing about HDTVs is that you have to buy all this for them to work the right way.
In all honesty, after this discussion I watched a DVD on my Elite with HDMI upscaled to 1080P and it didn't look bad at all. Without question it was no Blu-Ray (My laptop has a Blu-Ray drive) nor was it as good as Blu-Ray rips, but it wasn't bad by any means either.If you have to have a 1080p HDTV in order to have a good blu ray experience then what's the point?

What part of town do you live on? I could probably hook you up with a Blu-Ray rip you can play on your 360, you'd just need (or at least want) an HDMI cable.
What are you doing for cable, do you have satellite or cable HD?
Yeah that's what they call it head. You can see the scene rules here:

If you break the scene rules do you go to scene jail?
I'm gonna get the HDMI cable this week for my XBOX 360. How can you play a Blu Ray rip on an XBOX 360? I thought Blu Ray movies could be only be played in Blu Ray players?
haha... chump knows what's up!
