Eh?

The whole "scene" is full of shitty re-encodes of video, with the audio or video spliced from another source. There's a whole cottage industry of squeezing content into smaller sizes.

It is easy enough to avoid those and make sure you get better encodes, if size is not at all a priority for you.

My main problem, even with the better encoders, is the lack of choice in audio tracks and subs when I'm pretty sure the source material had the ones I might want.
