I’ve been getting some suggestions to switch to 350MB/700MB rips instead of the current 175MB/350MB rips.

From what I’ve seen, the standard rips for TV shows are 350MB for an “hour” of TV (that’s really 42 minutes of TV). Top Gear however is 60 minutes long, so by that standard, TG rips should be 500 MB. If you’re burning to CD, that’s 200 MB of space you’d be wasting, so you might as well go to 700 MB. Plus, we care much more about the quality of this show than we do with normal TV shows.

On the other hand, 700 MB is rather large. With both Fifth Gear and Top Gear, you’d be downloading about a gigabyte a week. Personally, I don’t mind, but perhaps some of you do.

So, I’ll leave it all up to you guys. Go vote here: http://gear.viper007bond.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1674
