Blu-Ray BRRip & BDRip XviD

BRRip vs. BDRip: Which is Best?

Technically there shouldn’t be much of a difference between the two - with one exception: Since BRRips are taken directly from a release that has already been ripped from a Blu-Ray disc (so it’s not a direct source), if there was a problem with the original .mkv, such as bad AR (aspect ratio) then it’ll be transferred to the BRRip, as well. True BDRips come straight from a Blu-Ray disc, which eliminates any problem with a middleman. However, this is somewhat of a moot point - the person/group responsible for the rip is seemingly more important to the end-product quality.

BRRip = An XviD encode from a Blu-Ray release (i.e. a 1080p *.mkv file).

BDRip = An XviD encode directly from a source Blu-Ray disc.

NOTE: While both BRRips and BDRips are superior to DVDRips, they are normally released in 720p resolution, since standalone DivX (*.avi) players do not support anything higher than this anyways. They should not be confused with genuine Blu-Ray rips in 1080p, which are usually done in native Blu-Ray files, or as H.264 *.mkv files.

BDRip / BRRip vs DVD5 / DVD9

The standard retail DVD uses a resolution of 720×480 (NTSC) or 720×576 (PAL), but you will see that Blu-Ray rips (in these XviD *.avi files, and otherwise) offer better video quality than DVD5 or DVD9 discs, even on an HDTV. This is because the source for BRRips and BDRips (obviously being a Blu-Ray disc), is in full 1080p resolution. When done correctly by employing the proper filtering techniques, much of the HQ detail can be retained even in a smaller resolution.

Troubleshooting

• Computer Codecs — One rather large complaint from users who download these files is that these B*Rips seem to be playing at a similar quality comparable to regular XviD DVDRips. While many factors come to play here (the quality of the source; the person ripping it; the software used), the most likely culprit is improper codecs. Try downloading the latest CCCP codec pack; and/or use the VLC Media Player for playback.

• Audio — Is the audio unsynced during playback on your PC? Again, likely just a codec issue. Install the above codec pack, or use VLC.

• XBOX 360 — If you’re experiencing lagging after a few minutes of playback, try disabling ‘video caching’ in your XBMC system menu, or simply alter the settings and try again. Also, you may need to upgrade the firmware.

• DVD Playback — You’ll need a DivX compatible player - look for the Divx symbol on the DVD unit.


• Burning to DVD — Burn the BRRip & BDRip *.avi files using the "Data" burning option.

Sometimes I encode an XviD from a 1080p mkv. Most of the time the source is 720p...although it don't make too much difference when the resulting AVI is a 1-2 CD rip.

great info megaplay
but i was thinkin is there any way to play 1080 p videos on xbox.
i am researching on it. may be if we transcode it with the same pixels and resolution it may work.
do anybody have idea about it?

It's spelled DISC not DISK

or you could Get a PS3 use TSmuxer to convert to AVCHD(M2TS)

a lot of the better encoders do 2 pass encoding, what is the purpose of the second pass, and other than guys like 3li, Cronus, SecretMyth, who else can i look to for great quality brrips, or bdrips?

Gr8 encodes m8...

it's up to the dvd player you have when buying it look at what formats it supports
