I'm not sure what my laptop will be able to handle playing. I think 1080 should be fine, though. What is the really difference between 720 and 1080 anyway? Is 720 a regular DVD and 1080 Blue-Ray?

I know my PC won't be able to handle 1080, more than likely.

Also now I must go get The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Thanks, Buster. :)

Girl who leapt through time is ultra spiffy.

This brings up a good point. Most computers are not currently set for Full HD, only having 1280 by 1024 as a usual maximum resolution (often less, such as a number of laptops), so 720p might be a better general release size.

My laptop handles 1080p fine, and it's nothing special tbh. :/

There's also the matter of encoding and graphics cards. My computer has an 800 series Nvidia, 4gigs of ram and a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 duo, and still slows down on 1080p files.

If you plan on watching on your PC, if your monitor does have a resolution over 1080p, then a download of 720p or 1080p won't matter. Though if you do have a resolution equal or greater, you'll notice some difference. Another note, degrading the video down to DVD resolution won't do this movie justice.

With 1080p TV's going for so cheap these days, people should be at least upgrading to 720p TVs. Even 20" LCD PC monitors go for as cheap as $120 nowadays here in Canada. As for being able to play a 720p on old PCs, almost all PC bought within the last 5 years will be able to play 720p MKV/AVC/H264 videos just fine. CoreAVC is the decoder you want to go with. That or a good video card will do the decoding for you. And even better, if you have a PS3 you're already set.

You really shouldn't have any problems at all. My Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz plays 1080p just fine.

I dare say it's as good as/better than Spirited Away.

If by some strange miracle it was legal to do such - whichever is best and the computer that I'm using can handle. :P lol Though, since we know it's not legal, force people to buy it; though, of course, then comes the need for a Blu-Ray player... *sigh*

As for this topic, there's no rules saying you cannot discuss possible illegal stuff, even if its actual illegality hasn't been properly proven in court yet. I could say 'Oh, ACC is on TPB' and whatnot without any problems. I could probably even link to TPB - after all, TLS wouldn't be hosting it, and as such wouldn't be accountable for any piracy or whatever.

It's why I asked.

Anyways, I'm one of those people that's fine with what I get. So either rip would be fine for me, I don't need super high quality since I plan to buy it anyway.

I'm as confused as you are, really. My specs are sufficient, my codecs are fresh, my drivers are brand spanking new, etc. Perhaps I need a new player, though Media Player Classic has no issues with anything else.

Specifically, the issue is with a visuals slowdown while the sound plays at regular speed, if any of you have experience stopping that nonsense.

Nevermind folks. Apparently it was that particular encode that was poor. I was simply confused by having similar issues with other media files before updating.

You should be more concerned with what CPU you have. Decoding video is CPU intensive, it's only GPU intensive if and only if you have a proper video card. For laptops Nvidia 8000 mobile or 9000 series. ATi 2000, 3000, or 4000 series.

If you plan on watching on these specs, you can play the 1080p.
