No ones yelled.

The OP was out of line with that comment though. And by now, people have proved that for regular HD files, handbrake will give you a stella out put.

As regards file size, well im not sure what some people are looking for here. if you want the quality, the size is a secondary matter, surely. Straining a file through several encoders may make you feel like your doing something magical, if you lop 50mb off or so, but for what purpose? The memory of the device is huge, utilise it if the quality dictates.

In my eyes, no rip the Op has done has come close to the few I have done myself, both at 900mb, both done in handbrake.

As you correctly pointed out, a human eye can only see so much, on such a small screen. I think what bbz_Ghost is trying to point out is to keep that in mind when encoding for the device. It only has so many pixels.
