RMVB? Why ?

Well....small and fast download for some who still have the slower internet speed....

 

its crap stupid format, only 'ok' for audio and stuff that doesnt have much motion in it. but its small, thats the reason.

 

Best reason i can come up with the quality to size ratio is by far the best, and the format is alot easier for many people to play with a wider range of audience.

 

Maybe it has something to do with filesize. Rmvbs have a small filesize and decent quality. I personally grab RMVBS myself because of the small filesize. I ca easily DL an episode quick. Plus, with my monitor I can barely tell the different btwn MKV and tv RMVB quality.

 

I hate the format, it should die but looks like Asians loves it.

 

I guess alot of people watch them on thei notebook/computer. I, myself, dl the mkv or mp4 to watch on my big screen lcd. rmvb looks terrible on my 65" lcd. I also keep my tvb series. I leave them on my nas server.

 

wiki it

 

I guess u don't dl them and watch on a 50+" display. I keep all my tvb dl's.

 

It did serve a purpose back then when people had slower internet connections and low screen resolutions. Nowadays, with faster internet and 1080p monitors being the norm, rmvb seems kinda redundant.

 

Must be:
- small size
- wide spread format
- relative low CPU requirements for encoding and decoding

 

it's because it's small and good to use

 

i find it a really big pain ==" sure small file size, but finding a player.... SADHJASL!

 

..... rmvb wut?

hi10p

 

oh yeah
forgot u were on the tiny island on the other side of the world... =/
anywhere else its still only a few secs to dl in hd LOL
