how "truly" HD is a 4GB HD rip ?

[H2O]

^^^Why do you want private tracker when it's available from public tracker? I use openbittorrent tracker and i get good speeds...

Because I can max out my speed.

Anyone seen the rips on hd-bb I wish they had torrents.

i thought size also depends on the lenght of the movie.. can't just categorize them on the basis of 4B or 2GB or 10GB.

i have a 720p of saving private ryan which weighs a little above 8GB.. and 1080p small clip of Quantum of Solace.. the difference in quality is very much noticeable to me on G2412HD.

i watch from 3-4ft distance.

So after 3 pages are we anywhere close to answering the OP's question ?

If the uncompressed source does not offer much difference compared to the compressed rip in terms of viewing quality then yes. In this case how far one sits from the screen taking into account its size will be sufficient.

So then what about 4GB rips & 8GB rips. The only way i think one could tell the difference is if one had a massive screen, say 50" or above. I suppose you could tell the difference if you tried hard enough with smaller screens but that's cheating. If its not apparent at first glance then for all intents & purposes its good enough.

Thanks to all you guys. I have decided not to go for 1080p rips of 4GB on demonoid. for 720p movies I am going for 4GB as the cut off and for 1080p I have decide to go for a cut off of 6GB.
