Basically every movie that is out now in high def - HD or Bluray will be available on .MKV (also known as H264) at around 7gb.

You rarely get HD converted to.avi or wmv (compared with all the mkv/h264) and its a real pain when you use your 360 to stream your vids like I do and it wont play them.

The quality of .mkv rips are awesome. do a search in Google for .mkv torrent
