Who watches SD anymore anyway?

Although I can just imagine all the pirates whining about "h.264 (or mkv as they call it) doesn't play on my dvd player, bring avi (as they call xvid) back".

I can't believe pirates are still burning crappy SD rips to DVD.

Someone I know stopped doing that when he wanted to watch a movie for the second time and realized it was quicker to leech a 1080p bluray rip than search through his mountains of VCD and SVCD discs for the one he downloaded just a couple of years back.

This pirate friend of mine welcomes the change, for the maybe 1 SD show he watches.

Although he personally wishes people paid more attention to sound codecs, nothing worse than downloading something broadcast in 5.1 and finding out the file only has a stereo downmix.

I do, for two reasons:

1) I watch it in the corner of my screen, so I'm fine with 320. 2) Here in Australia, we pay for usage. I'm not going to download something in a high quality if I'm near my limit
