Downloaded a copy of The Northman. Tried to watch it. It looks like the Lego Movie it's so blocky, especially in shadows. I know this has something to do with the compression and encoding. What should I be looking for in a good rip? What is the sure-fire format or whatever I need to get to have something that doesn't look like a youtube video?

    Just download the largest 1080p or 2160p file you can find. That will be the one with the highest bitrate. It's that simple.

      Yeah my 13.6GB rip of Avengers.Assembly.9.xXx.fAsT-rELoAd.480p looked awesome, but now due to unrelated issues my computer is really slow whenever I try to wank off to Diane Feinstein being all professional and bipartisan on CSPAN

        I get this is a virus joke but I'm assuming OP knows not to run executables or binary files when expecting a video file. 13.6 GB is still smaller than most legit BluRay remuxes.

        I changed my comment to include "1080p or 2160p".
