I was going to download an OVA/movie, but I did not want to download the low quality movie or the one with Tim Allen in it.
I could try to download the one that says:
"Black​_Rock​_Shooter​_(2010)​_[1080p,BluRay,x264]​_-​_THORA"
But i was not sure if this was only specifically for PCs that can play a Blu-Ray disc.
So I am asking if it matters or not before i spend 5 hours trying to download 3 gigabytes of BlackRockShooter.

how about downloading encoded to mini sized mkv OVA?

If you're asking if you can play that file on your computer... yes you can because its probably in an mkv container. At most it would be in an ISO which you could mount.

For watching on computer there is no reason to download 1080p releases unless you have a 24inch + monitor. 720p will give you good enough quality.

[BD] and etc means that it was encoded from a BDMV, there is no way a whole blu ray discs would only take up so little~ anyways PCs can play anything these days so go ahead and dl it. I always download 1080p if available.

That's right, when there is a [BD] or [DVD] in a file name, 99% of the times it just means that the video was ripped of one of those (and not from a tv broadcast) meaning it has a little bit of better quality and no commercials or announcements (no pieces of text at the bottom or a channel logo in the corner).

bluray is mostly the specific format 720p or 1080p but then high profile which mean's it uses more then the regular 1080p which most older computers cannot handle. I don't have the most recent computer although it's not one of the oldest and it works smoothly!

also try to use k-lite codec pack and windows media player, vlc works good although it uses more resources then wmp

more than the regular 1080p? that does not make sense, there is only one 1080p. Also if you cant play 1080p bluray rips then your computer is not old but rather from the stone age, i mean wtf~ my NETBOOK can play 1080p videos smoothly and it has prty cheap hardware.

Then you sir either have a godly netbook, or are playing some low bitrate bluray rips. Almost all netbooks nowadays can't play 1080p smoothly, especially anime. They do a bit better with live action movies, though...

no the bitrate is godly with FLAC audio, check my [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] thread in the DL section, i tested it on this.

Overall bit rate                 : 13.2 Mbps
Nominal bit rate                 : 10.2 Mbps
File size                        : 2.19 GiB
Duration                         : 23mn 43s
Width                            : 1 920 pixels
Height                           : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio             : 16:9
Frame rate                       : 23.976 fps
Writing library                  : x264 core 114 r1913 5fd3dce

it playes smoothly as long as i use MPC and not VLC. And the netbook i have is [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Its prty weak along the specs but still playes 1080p fine, has HDMI too so i can hook it up to a TV~ The graphic card is a lil better compared to other netbooks so maybe thats why but PC with specs like this are really cheap now.
