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?
This.
If I'm unlucky and the movie I want is a (very) old upload at Rarbg and the seeding is anemic or the torrent is nearly dead - I sigh because have to hope for the best at other sites. I'm lazy so I don't want to read technical specs like bitrate. A high bitrate is a great thing but the rip still might be shit. A lot of people don't know what they are doing. Also - many torrents have no specs at all.
