******* questions

*******s are also good but the quality is substandard. Imagine trying to squeeze a 2 hrs + movie into one 700mb file. The resolution would have to be worse than VHS and pixelization galore. TV series are different though. I get most of the HR HDTV (700MB) all from the *******s.

I have actually d/l only one such movie (700mb), "The Punisher". The actual res is only 576 x 240. Expanding it and then pausing it in mid-playback:

It still looks quite good on a regular crt tv.

If you want to wait about an hour, I can post a screencap from the pilot episode of ST: Deep Space 9 (1:30) with one image a 1.5gb Divx straight from the vhs version, a second cap from the dvd version, and a third from a "low res" Divx version. I'm just waiting for AutoGK to finish.

Add: That "The Punisher" screencap may look a bit fuzzy on the pc. But it looks pretty good on a tv.

The ff info are typically the properties of the movie video file that I get from Emule. I do notice a bit of upscaling but it does not affect the quality in anyway.

For those interested:

Major Kira from a 1.5gb Divx of VHS version

Major Kira from the dvd itself

and Major Kira from a low res (352x272) Divx rip of the dvd

I obviously had to upscale the two lower res images to the same size as the dvd screen capture.
