im not sure exactly where to post this. im new here, but ive been downloading videopimp releases for years as well as making my own. the handle i used to go under for my releases is leper. my question is, and please dont misunderstand me im not trying to complain or disrespect as i do appreciate the rippers time and effort, but why mpegs? why a format from the 80's?. when video pimp first started i was ripping svcds off my digital cable YEEEARS ago. and now with all the newer higher quality formats like divx, xvid, x264. why not goto a superior format? i just recently got a 61inch 1080p tv and my god mpegs just look terrible. they look decent on my monitor, and better on my SDTV, but wow are they horrible on an hdtv. and it is 2008 i just dont understand why videopimp is making VCDs. i could possibly understand the need to not use x264 cause of the high computer requirements (even tho i really dont think thats an issue in todays world) but svcd, xvid? come on! im just curious. ive been wanting to get back into the scene for a while, i havent ripped music for a group since i was 17 and im 27 now with much better equipment and hd sources and videopimp as always been one of my favorite groups given the type of music they rip and always being perfectly synced. if one of the admins or anyone else could please explain the mpeg thing to me i would greatly appreciate it and would like to apply to be a ripper (i know wrong thread, will do that later) if the mpeg rules are not mandatory. sorry again if i came off in any way disrespectful, just simply confused. all encodes are great i just know they can be so much better!
