RMVB

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Community Anime Reviews : One Thread

Hi Everyone, Yesterday I saw that there is a new format for movies RMVB, wich is so much smaller than the rest. I'm very intressed into this format because I have a strict downloadlimit. So I'm not able to download tons of Gigabytes of data, wich is probably not the case for most of you guys (and girls). The quality seems to me very good, i've downloaded yesterday shrek 2 wich was just around 230Mb in size!!! I hope this format will be the new common transferred format for animes. Well, i'm missing in fact a good link to torrents or other sites where i will be able to download animes in this format(size!). Anyone aware of good links??? Or you can start ofcourse coding all the avi's into rmvb and make it available for download, but maybe i'm asking too much right now... :-)

Hopefully there will be a lot of responses too this topic... seeya,

GForce...

Asia "digs" this format much faster than North America. Some people still refuse to use this format because they say the quality isn't that good when they re-encode into mpeg and burn it on a cd-dvd for their living room's dvd player (Frames are kind of highly compressed and lost in rmvb) OR they just refuse to use anything related to Real. Even though their are 3rd paries utilities to decode and encode like Real alternative, Oss video converter, etc.

Few (none?) english anime groups use rmvb to encode their anime. I've only seen anime episodes in rmvb in China/Hong Kong/Taiwan 's sites.

If you are interested in rmvb for "movies", there is an interesting RMVB section in phoenix-torrents.com. (And it's "possible" that your shrek 2 is from there)

yep, I also am a fan of that format because you can play it on a n- gage (and im getting 1 for my b-day!)

As andy said, english groups do not use rmvb. Unless you can read chinese and are going for chinese subs you won't find english fansubs or dvdrips in that format. I've never seen any movie in rmvb, so good luck with that.

RMVB movies are abundant...you just have to know where to look, they are perfect for quick d-loads then streaming across a network like I do with XBMC.

I wasn't a fan of real at all till yesterdy when I saw secret window with it the MPEG version was like 800megs.. what im used to this version was a smooth 300megs.. and my god the quality was perfect I was very very impressed the only downfall to this format is its highly compressed and uses a lot of CPU power BUT then again if you have 500mhz pentium 3.. + which most of us do its WAYYY better then mpeg or avi

for anime movies & episodes in rm/rmvb go to dbzhevan.com or dbgtarna.com or anime-xg.com or go to majin-xp.uni.cc or go to a topsite with tons of sites like biganime.com

All I have is an Asian version of The Shield (Season 1) encoded in rmvb and I can't get Real to play it. Real just doesn't recognise the file as one of its own. What's up? Any suggestions?
