Anyone know what "HDChina" means, i see alot of releases coming out quick with HDChina at the end. I am guessing its a Blu-Ray from China but anyone know what's different from these releases to a normal one.

Many thanks.

It would be nice to add this as well:

BRRip = An XviD encode from a Blu-Ray release (i.e. a 1080p *.mkv file).

BDRip = An XviD encode directly from a source Blu-Ray disk.

NOTE: While both BRRips and BDRips are superior to DVDRips, they are normally released in 720p resolution, since standalone DivX (*.avi) players do not support anything higher than this anyways. They should not be confused with genuine Blu-Ray rips in 1080p, which are usually done in native Blu-Ray files, or as H.264 *.mkv files.

BRRip vs. BDRip: Which is Best?

Technically there shouldn’t be much of a difference between the two - with one exception: Since BRRips are taken directly from a release that has already been ripped from a Blu-Ray disk (so it’s not a direct source), if there was a problem with the original .mkv, such as bad AR (aspect ratio) then it’ll be transferred to the BRRip, as well. True BDRips come straight from a Blu-Ray disk, which eliminates any problem with a middleman. However, this is somewhat of a moot point - the person/group responsible for the rip is seemingly more important to the end-product quality.

And some info about x264 from Wikipedia

x264 is a free software library and application for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format, and is is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
It provides best-in-class performance, compression, and features.
Performance-wise, x264 can encode 4 or more 1080p streams in realtime on a single consumer-level computer.
Quality-wise, x264 has the world's most advanced psychovisual optimizations and has won many awards, .
Feature-wise, x264 supports features necessary for many different applications, such as television broadcast, Blu-ray, low-latency video applications, and web video.

x264 forms the core of many web video services, such as Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, and Hulu. It is also used in television broadcast by companies such as Avail Media.
