I'm not talking about reducing AVC encodings ~100MB, though it could probably be done with little lose of quality. Just that AVC encoding shouldn't be bigger then their XviD counterparts--which has been the trend lately with AVC and which I see as being completely counterproductive and harmful to fansubing in general. And using the excuse, "well downloaders are on broadband anyways," just strikes of arrogance that really irritates a dialup slave like myself.
