| 1196867 | 2011-04-25 04:13:00 | Ok we got a few of those flashback dvds a while back that had the out of copyright cartoons on them. Kids love them, but well i am a touch sick of them Thought i'd increase the collection, so had a look on Archive.org, and yep they're all available for download, plus dozens of others, i am guessing i should get the mpeg2 which seem to be the largest file or is the mpeg4 as good, note these will be burned to disc for watching on a TV Ones like this www.archive.org and this www.archive.org some of others have large xvid files instead of mpeg2 |

MPEG4 achieves a higher quality of video with a smaller filesize. If I was you, I'd go with the MPEG4 version and transcode that back to MPEG2 at burn time. |

| 1196870 | 2011-04-25 06:18:00 | get the Mpeg-2, as thats what is used on dvds, although it'll need to be converted to a .VOB file to play in a dvd player Archive.org rocks! |

| 1196871 | 2011-04-25 06:54:00 | MPEG 4, as previously stated. Has a better compression (smaller size) with better quality (nice picture) also MP4 files can be played on ipods and the likes of apple... so if you have one, movies on the go I guess. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1196872 | 2011-04-25 07:16:00 | Yes, but mpeg 2 is the dvd standard, and i am yet to see an mpeg 4 look nicer than an mpeg 2. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1196873 | 2011-04-25 07:18:00 | Stop downloading crappy pr0n and watch HD youtube, that uses H.264/AVC part 10, which IIRC is part of the MPEG4 family. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1196874 | 2011-04-25 07:19:00 | Youtube's compression is crappy. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1196875 | 2011-04-25 07:30:00 | Youtube's compression is crappy. So why keep posting youtube links then? |
