The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 3 March, 2012
Most of the heavy hitters in the TV show piracy scene have moved away from the XviD/AVI standard of the past decade and started releasing files in MP4/x264.
The release groups, SAP, BAJSKORV, C4TV, D2V, DiVERGE, FTP, KYR, LMAO, LOL, MOMENTUM, SYS, TLA and YesTV came together in February and wrote up "The SD x264 TV Releasing Standards 2012" documents, which pretty much details all the ... [ read the full article ]

You're not serious, right?
My 12 y.o laptop plays just fine an SD x264.
X264 is not exclusively found in HD format. HD formats are mostly x/H264.
"xvid...couldn't be opened without VLC"...Seriously?
i open all formats with windows media player lmao
wtf you use wmp, i've got a mind to use the report button :p
I guess not everyone knows how to work with a codec pack. I remember having that issue back in 2002 when all these video codecs were new to me. Everyone was using wmv for videos, and divx was starting to get popular. Finally someone set me up with klite codec pack or the like. Eventually h264 took off and could only get it to work with erightsoft super converter installed. Oh the times have changed!
Not an issue anymore, use shark007 codec pack and potplayer for stubborn videos.

most computers cannot fully support the x264 format because there graphics card cannot display hd and x264 is a hd format and more and more cheaper computers that are being sold at walmart and other places for low income families so this format thing won't last long and worse the reason people where using xvid is the video couldn't be opened without vlc and when people went to snoop across networks they labeled the xvid files as corrupted and ignored them when searching for pirates so have fun getting caught easier now
LOLOLOL
u really think, that even a cheapo PC from walmart, with a, lets say HD3000 intel graphics( 300 bucks Compaq for example) cant play HD or x264? are u serious?? secondly, people who buy these PCs in the first place, are really stupid, or got NO other choice... but then i get a Geforce/Ati (200 series/4000 series) for a couple of bucks, to upgrade... and i KNOW that sometimes u cant upgrade cuz of nonexisting slots, i know...
some what i read here in the forums, makes me sick, how do some ppl not forget to breathe? :DDD
Hey no reason to be so insulting! I had a laptop with a decent graphics card, but sadly it caused the motherboard to overheat and cut the life of my laptop. I have an integrated graphics card, and have no problem with x264. Even my old dell 4400 from 2002 could handle it. if you have either potplayer or vlc player you will be able to play that format. I used Shark007 codecs as well, and it allows WMP in my simple system to play as well. Download MediaInfo, and this will tell you the exact file type. I have found some fake files (a supposed WMV file) that was asking to install a codec. Be smart, install a trusted codec pack, and a decent all in one media player, to be sure.

Umm uhh hmm... Is this proof that you are a pirate? I mean I'm no saint by any means but personally I'd probably have not written that sentence.
Just kidding those CD1 CD2 releases really get to me they were great when they had a purpose but now its just OLD.
I couldn't agree more...I always end up shaking my head when I see this. I'm guessing they're just plain lazy in not unticking the box that splits the output file. I haven't used that format since my early PS2 days...around 2001-2002, before the majority had dvd burners...

They should make a rule that says...
"If you DUB it, include the ORIGINAL audio file as well"...
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

I am up for using a better and more compressed format but like a lot of people before me it gets a little annoying downloading a file and then finding that it's crap :(
I know uploaders are giving up free stuff and we should not be complaining but sometimes I get such bad files I just wonder.....did these guys even check their work before uploading it?!?!
That being said I have got a lot of good quality ones too.
I say if it works why change it, unless it will be the same quality at a compressed size then go ahead but if its going to hinder the quality why not just leave it.
I mean seriously the only difference is a couple of mbs. Does anyone even care?

With my old Dell 4400, I used it to make vcds. Now I agree the CD1 and CD2 files are annoying. Some dvd players still play VCDs, I believe.

Im sure that they do, but I was thinking about all the PS2 games that I have that are multiple CDs and I forget when to switch disks...I really should replace them someday...
