Will there be a noticeable difference between a 1080p 2gb movie (roughly 2000 kbps) and a 1080p 15gb movie (roughly 16 mbps)?
Difference between a 2GB 1080p and a 15GB 1080p file?
Obviously that's going to depend on what you're watching it on. Also, kbps and mbps are units of transfer speed, not quality.

By itself, no, it shouldn't. The only reason it's sometimes mentioned in relation to quality is because places that stream movies will adjust the quality based on your connection speed, under the assumption that you'd rather lose quality than have the stream stop altogether. But if you're talking about playing a file, rather than streaming it, I can't imagine where transfer speed would come into it.
I suppose I could be wrong; any home theater experts can correct me if I am.

Sounds like something that would need to be set up and tested empirically - just see what looks best using the two formats in question.
Might try a home theater forum, as well.

Yoda, since the 2gb version is much more compressed than the 15gb one, would I not encounter the same situation as with streaming (lower size at the expense of quality)?
Sedai, I was kind of hoping to not have to do that since others might have already done it...
Mesmerized: lol, you don't say? :P

If you're talking about blu-ray rips, then the bigger the file the better. x264 codec maintains a good bit rate under compression, thats why scene rippers use it. I generally download 10-12gb rips: perfect 1080p quality on a big TV.

I HATE compressed video.

The scene? Really?

You do know that the "The Scene" is colloquial term for the community of TV/blu-ray rippers, right?
It's not the term for the community. It's a term for a specific community. My question was more in regards to you using the scene as an example in a discussion about quality. I am a big fan of the scene and what they do, but that's when I want something fast out of the gate and am not concerned too much about quality.

Yify is garbage. Really, it's banned on a lot of the sites I'm on because of reasons I listed above.

The scene that was stuck using xvid for SD for years because of their stupid, archaic rules despite x264 being far superior? The same ones that compresses to fixed sizes like 4.37GB so that they fit on DVD5s even though nobody uses DVD as storage anymore?

The same scene that risks prison time to bring rips to people who winge about minor quality problems and video codecs.

But I digress, like I said before the main reason for my incredulity above was due to the fact that quality and scene used in the same sentence is quite funny. And like I said I'm a fan of the scene and what they do, it's good for that quick fix but not archival.
