| Source | Quality Comparison | |--------|--------------------| | | Gold standard for digital. No compression artifacts beyond the streaming service’s original encode. Exact color grading, no watermark logos (unlike HDTV), no dropped frames. | | Blu-ray Remux | Higher bitrate (20-30 Mbps) and less compression, but file size is 20-30 GB. Overkill for 720p. | | HDTV (captured from TV broadcast) | Inferior. Contains network logos, commercial breaks (sometimes edited out poorly), lower variable bitrate, potential for signal interference artifacts. | | Cam / TS (camcorder) | Unwatchable. Wobbly camera, audience noise, washed-out colors. | | WEBRip | A user re-encodes a Web-DL to a lower bitrate (e.g., to make it smaller). This introduces generation loss, blocking, and blurring. Never choose WEBRip if Web-DL is available. |
