Right, Scotty's recent dvd quality rip in post-1960 was fine, but I
was looking for something in 720p or 1080p where you see the
difference on an hdtv.  So I checked here:

http://www.nzbindex.nl/search/?q=north+by+northwest&age=&max=250&minage=&sort=agedesc&minsize=500&maxsize=&dq=&poster=&nfo=&hidespam=0&hidespam=1&more=1

The 10gb post at 869 days in 1080p worked fine for me.  Only the
default audio is in mono French so had to switch to the second audio
stream which which is in 5.1 English and there were no English subs so
found some at opensubtitles.org.

Dunno how some posters can get HD into appx 1 GB files nowadays (vs.
the usual 5-10 gb ones in 720p and 1080p) without an apparent loss in
quality, but not really up on doing much encoding myself.
