............. and then you find its actualy a fucking .rm file.
YOU ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES!
What the FUCK is the point of that shitty fucking .rm format. Why the FUCK would someone want to watch an ep in a shitty little 2 inch square window when they could have it in mpeg and be watching it on their TV through the DVD player. FUCKING CUNTS.
I'm with you man. I despise Real Networks. I hate everything about them. They are utterly useless. They deserve to be dragged out onto the street and shot!!!!!

Some of us have 56k connections that take long enough to D/L an .rm file as it is, and some more of us have DVD players that can't play burned VCDs. Watching that "shitty little 2 inch square window" is all some of us can do right now.
Why would you fucking download a 50MB file that supposedly is a 22 minute MPG and not be suspicious in the first place? Get a clue, asshole.

The real issue is the mis-naming. If a filename says .mpg and it turns out to be RealMedia, that's REALLY annoying and has been the cause of much wasted downloading time. Yes, RealMedia files are the last resort for those with dial-up connections (how that makes them "FUCKING CUNTS" is beyond me), but labelling files correctly is common courtesy, and one shouldn't have to extrapolate from the file size what format a file is "really" in; that's what the name is for! If a RealMedia file _must_ be relabelled to fool a program into classifying it as Video (Morpheus, for example, doesn't recognize .rm as a Video file), it should read something like "Family Guy - The Thin White Line.rm.mpg" and a big honkin' disclaimer in the track's info so that at least there's a _hint_ that the file isn't really an MPEG (or AVI or MOV or whatever).

The DIVX files are THE SAME FUCKIN SIZE AS RM FILES YOU STUPID CUNT They play FULL FUCKING SCREEN and they're about FIFTEEN MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN FUCKIN RM YOU FUCKIN MORON.
If you are downloading .rm because you only have a 56k modem then I suggest you get a DIVX decoder AND a fuckin clue you stupid waste of skin
There. I've said it.

No, they aren't. A true DivX file is much bigger.

So I've been re-encoding and making VCDs out of 'pretend' DivX files then have I?
either way, rm sucks ass completely. i would highly recommend starting to download the episodes in divx if you are still on 56k because the quality is SO much better than RM. i wish real media would just die already, i'm tired of every format they have developed.
Who knows? I'd have to see these wonderful 40MB DivX files you've been making VCDs out of to answer for sure. Anyway, people tend to lump a whole bunch of different hacked codecs together as "DivX" -- but I've never seen one that was able to encode a half-hour sitcom, animated or otherwise, into anything close to 40MB that was able to be watched full-screen much better than a 40MB .rm file. Mind you, I avoid .rm as much as you do...
Of course, the quality of the encoding comes into play, but the fact remains that your quote above, which implies that DivX files are always the same size as .rm files is, at the very least, grossly incomplete and misleading.
If you want a good VCD/SVCD, you've got to grab the 200MB files and don't trust the file extensions. IMO
Folks, whatever codec you use, if it's under 150 megs it's not tv-quality
and that's for cartoons - lots of clean lines and sharp contrast
for live action shows you're really looking at 250mb+ - no matter if it's divx, mpeg or whatever

I'd agree that under 150mb is not TV quality, but there is an abundance of south park and family guy episodes on the net that are between 40 and 60 mb and are a hell of a lot better quality than real video files, and can be converted to a VCD. Granted, it's not a perfect duplicate of the original, but if I wanted that, I'd record the episodes myself off of TV, edit out the commercials, then encode and archive it.
Face it, you're getting the stuff for free (or as close to free as the expense of an ISP and computer is), so sacrificing the quality in a few high motion scenes in an animation in order to be able to archive an entire SEASON of episodes onto one 700mb CD is a pretty damn cool thing.
TV shows on the other hand, cannot be shrunk down to that small of a file size and retain the quality that a comparable real video file size would be. Animations != Live actors
What's REALLY annoying is when you download an AVI that you think is divx, is the appropriate file size for a divx video, wait for hours to download it, then go to play it and find out that it's really an mpg and is missing 16 minutes of the video. THAT SUCKS
Totaly. Btw I was particularly pissed off at the time of my original post. I'm really a nice guy.

rm files - about 30 - 40 meg divx files - about 30 - 40 meg
People who fake the file type are cunts K? K.

And .mpg files - about 200-230 megs
Hint: ignore the file extension. MPGs aren't DivX.

Okay...I don't know the quailty that you use to make your divx files but the good quailty is around the 200Meg area. A divx file that is that low would be unwatchable.
I agree with you there. :)
OK a Divx(AVI) file that is around 40-60MB is pretty much crap quality, but bearable IMO, the encoding rate would have to be pretty low for the file to end up 40-60MB then comes the audio usually encoded 8-bit 22K/s Mono Audio
HQ MPEG files are encoded at(uaually) 1150K/s or higher with usually 128kb/s or higherfor auduo. Highest I've seen is 224kb/s sound.
this can end up around 200-250MB for a 22 minute(30 minutes -8 minutes for commercials) "David Walker" wrote in message news:[email]...
