But sacrifice a chance at better quality for filesize? If we want small filesize let's all convert to RMVB encodes. The chinese do it, no reason we can't.

... You know it's only really like 50MB we are talking about. It's not like we are all releasing 400MB H264 encodes. Takes like what 10-20 minutes more to download?

They weren't great. They were just good enough.
Sorry but some of us like quality. So we aim for quality.

Cause I don't like when my eyes bleed from bad videos... :/
