RE: Fw: OT: Grand Designs Episode 5 BitTorrent Release

["Young, Jeff" <Jeff.Young@xxxxxxxx>]

BUT... If you re-encode with divx 5.1.1 or xvid you'll get similar quality
for HALF the size ! Might help for downloading

Boo .. no ...

Mpg format is best!!!

I suggest that if you want divx you re encode it yourself using virtualdub.

It is a free program and is not difficult to use at all.
