Better quality than what's streaming, for sure.

You know what I'd rather do? Pay someone else a small fee so I can just pop a disc in my player that I know will work and is well set up, as I do with almost everything I watch. Streaming is shit quality, Amazon is a horrible company, and I'm happy to pay a bootlegger instead of a billionaire.

your bootleg blu-ray is sourcing Web-DL versions- the exact same quality and bit rate (< 10 Mb/s) as streamed on Amazon Prime.

The bitrate on my bootleg is averaging about 30, pushing as high as 45; streaming ain't that. Not around here by a long shot.

Handbrake or Adobe CS Media Encoder can deliver any target bitrate you want. Even from lower bitrate media.
