Sometimes released in batches months after the show airs. - Source = Actual footage encoded into a file and released on the web (usually itunes)Bluray - Quality = No logo, ads, rating, etc. Often have multiple audio tracks or multiple subtitle tracks - Size - 2.2GB+ - Availability = A few days after the Bluray is available - Source - Bluray disk doc.

Destry Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 You can see also some info and screenshot comparisons here:http://hd-dump.org/s...dl-vs-hdtv.html Lots of people just get an episode to watch and then delete it. Or are too impatient to wait for better copies. HDTV is good enough for those guys (and girls). Collectors might prefer to wait another day for the WEB-DL version. Sometimes I watch the HDTV version (impatient) but later replace it with the WEB-DL for permanent collecting (I may watch it all again in a couple of years).
