D is for Definition of 2009

What is the 1 thing you did this year that will define 2009 for you?
2009 for many including myself, will be the loss of Michael Jackson. But for me, it will be remembered more for the painful loss of my dad. I hope he is enjoying himself moonwalking away with Michael up there. With the recent natural disasters that happened – in Taiwan, Padang, Phillipines, India, lost count, it sure is getting crowded up there.

What about you? What did you do or experience that will mark the year 2009 for you?

B is for Blu-ray Rips – BRRIP / BRDRIP

October 19, 2009 at 4:04 AM (Rave) (, )

Not to be confused with Rest in Peace, RIP here refers to a video data file that is copied from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc. A ripped file can be played on a PC or standalone players like the Playstation 3 or a multi-format media file player like WDTV, etc.

Its worth getting excited over this because it is possible to get very sharp videos with excellent audio from BRRIPs or BRDRIPs – even better than from an original DVD.

Difference between BRRIP and BRDRIP is explained here.

Where to find BRRIP or BRDRIPs?

It is not possible to find latest movies (eg. those still showing in cinemas) in BRRIP or BRRIP format because the movie must be released in Blu-Ray format because there can be a ripped version, makes sense right? So if you want quality, you must have patience and the wait is well worth it.
