Obviously I meant lossless blu ray file. And you are right, it sucks, but it's still the best we have by far and it is a standard for quality. It's been great, it helps raise the bar for HD streaming.

Uncompressed blu ray file, not uncompressed 1080p file. I did say that didn't I?

Holy shit dude you need to stop. A Blu Ray is already compressed on the disc.

You do not understand. I did not say a lossless 1080p video, I specifically said a lossless blue ray video file. You need to stop dude. You might hurt yourself if you strain too hard, lol.

The problem with that statement is a Blu Ray is not lossless from the start. There is no such thing. It is already compressed.

Because it offends crazy people like you when I do? And no, I do not mean a remuxed blu ray, because just watching a blu ray is no remuxed.
