Cooking,
And the funny thing is, the 720p rip WAS a quality rip not too long
ago. I remember how great it was when things went from VCD to SVCD,
then finally to XviD or MP4, with the resolution geting better little
by little. It used to be a dream to get your hands on anything much
better than a 480p release. Now, 1080p seems to be all over the place
and much more easily accessible. But you're correct - the data caps
still do mean balancing quality with gigabytes for me and why I have
settled with the 720p rips for viewing the cooking/food show posts.
