Hello!
Guys what videos formats, you use to download videos, shows and movies
360p, 720p or the Big 1080p!

Tell me your reasons, why you use one of these format?
 
360p I use it the most because it's the fastest way.
 
4K and upscaling wherever possible, but I grew up with 240p and below, so I'm not picky :]
 
1080p just because i feel its perfectly fine for standard HD viewing, been using that same old format for years, no real need to go any higher.
 
1080p because I watch stuff on my laptop with a 1080p display.

480p if I'm DLing something that is only available on standard definition, I don't fuck with '1080p upscales'. At best, it's just doing the same thing that would have happened while watching the stuff on my laptop...at worst it's some garbage ass AI 'upscale' that just ruins everything.
 
The only videos I download usually are anime.
Usually 1080p for modern stuff or 720p. Most of the time, anime's native res in beneath 1080p, with only the openings and credits being that res, so I'm okay with lower res.

For older anime, I prefer high res transfers from cel animation stuff, and native low res for early digital stuff (360p, 480p) because those usually get poor upscales on BD, so DVD rips are where it's at.
 
1080p/2160p for movies on TV. Any other resolution depending on the screen and purpose.
 
It really depends not so much on what, rather than what year it was, I'm downloading.
If it's something from the early to mid-80s, I tend to stick to 480i. For the 90s to 2000s, I use 4:3 720x480. Anything past 2010 1080p or higher. often stretch old shows to new, higher resolutions unless they have been remastered, and even then, tend to make them look off.
 
I use 2160p whenever possible. I mux the untouched video stream and the original lossless audio track from UHD Blu-ray into an MKV along with any other HDR10+ or Dolby Vision profiles that match the source from a streaming service. If there was no UHD Blu-ray release, I get the highest-quality 4K video and audio streams from a streaming service, decrypt them, and use them. If the video was only released at 1080p, I use a regular Blu-ray instead of UHD or hold my nose and get the highest-quality 1080p video and audio streams from a streaming service.

Failing all that, I source whatever the best-quality there is, clean it up, upscale it to 1080p, and share the results with the kind people of the Internet.

1080p for clarity
but I also download stuff in 144p for a reason that I can not explain.
 
Mostly 720p. I sometimes do 1080p but I like to save space.
 
i prefer it in high quality, 1080p. but seriously some people over exaggerate the quality of things anything below 1080p. 360p looks great to me. the real warriors have no issue watching things in like 240 or 144.
 
If I am just using the video for a one time watch then I do not mind it being in 360p or 480p. If I am keeping the video then 720p. 1080p and higher, honestly I can't really tell the difference.
