downloaded torrent avi video ENLARGES with dvd authoring??

Or you could just get a media player that plays the files without any conversion. That way you don't waste time reencoding, don't get any further loss of picture quality from reencoding, and don't waste money on blank media.

... or (3) not care about the quality, and just want to see the movie.

I have seen friends happily sit through things that to me are unwatchable.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

I know this couple that always say's they have a copy of something that is perfect quality, then i hear from someone else they download CAMS!!!!!
And that the quality sucks!!!!!!

I have had other friends say they have seen them also and they suck!!!

I just laugh because they think they are great & perfect quality!!
LMAO!!!

Even on the smallest PC monitor they still SUCK!!!

I am suspecting they don't even own a DVD player
Because anyone that is NOT blind can see the difference!!

Sure I rent from redbox all the time, BUT this particular movie was not available at a red box. I have a good download speed and the quality was good enough for me to watch. In fact, most of the torrents are around 1GB and are very watchable. They just need subtitles placed on them for my wife.

And it all depends on what you're watching the files on too. There was a guy on this forum extolling the perfection of downloaded 300mb files, that turned out to be viewing them on a 14" CRT TV in his bedroom.
But content will always outshine quality, a terrific film will always be more enjoyable even in relative low quality than a crap film that's pristine. Would you rather watch The Right Stuff on VHS, or Transformers on BD?
BTW, for people that think Transformers was the better movie, there are many many professionals that can help with your problems

Exactly.
