Eh, that's often not true. I'm not sure if you've only seen YIFY rips, but there are fantastic HD rips out there. Good encoding makes a lot of difference.

I don't even have a DVD drive to play physical media. I find it unnecessary.

I was referring to "mastered for web" releases, like with Netfilx or iTunes, not Blu-ray rips. Web-DL usually refers to media downloaded from the internet, as opposed to ripped from disc. SD Netflix download < SD encode made from DVD.

You don't need to tell an encoder about encodes :p
