Mid level encodes will be closer to 6-10, and the low quality encodes like yify are ~2-3gb.We all remember how Kickass Torrents came into our world and made everyone fall in love with torrenting. As a general guide though, transparent 1080p encodes will aim to be around 12-17gb (depending on the movie, some might be a bit higher or lower). Theres no strict guide for what sizes you need for movies because it varies on a movie to movie basis as well as on the hardware and the individuals eyes. However theres cases where webrip can be better, such as a 1080p webrip encoded from a 4k source vs the 1080p webdl. Webrips will generally be worse than webdl, because webdl is the source stream while webrip is removing quality to reduce size. Webrip means a reencoded version of a web release (netflix, amazon, hbo, etc). Unless you have a dedicated audio system with surround sound, i wouldnt worry about it too much. These are audio formats and wont affect the image quality. X264/x265 are encoding libraries for h264/h265, in terms of torrent naming, consider them synonyms for their counterparts (although h26x is usually used for webdl/remux, while x26x is usually used for encodes or webrip in file naming). Generally wont matter for smaller size 1080p files, but with larger files it could matter. H264 will generally be larger but easier to play, h265 will be smaller in comparison to an equal quality h264 file but will be more difficult to play. Can someone explain which movie torrents coding format I should go for when downloading movie quality 1080p? Thanks.ĭepends, the reason theres options is that there is no 'best format' I've seen movie coding formats like x264, x265, H264, H265, DTS-MT, or DTS-HD, DDP5.1, Atmos, Webrip, AMZN, and AAC.
