I voted "I dont care"
I have lastest (5 ep) ripped by vfua - 697 MB
d/led from TB with very, very good bandwidth - 200 KB/s
see here screenshot -
Top.Gear.S05E05.PROPER.WS.PDTV.XviD-VFUA
as I said the quality isnt good like a DVD, but its better than VUK's rips
however in my opinion they aren't enough twice good as VUK's rips
I'm soon getting DVDRW, so I don't mind size
My 200 GB HDD is feeling healthy so far
rsling 700/350 rips is waste of time and space
I suggest to use better codes (if there r, I think they do) in 350/180mb rips
Now quality is good (btw QL is important to me),
so when VUK use better codes there will be no need to rls 700/350 rips
thats what im thinking about it
edit
I made screenshot of 4 ep ripped by VUK to compare
hera'ya go -
Top.Gear.S05.E04
as u can see its more pixelized (when u fullscreen it of course), and the resolution is smaller
