Declining quality of the rips

ive noticed a few 1080p rips lately where the resolution goes from fhd to 256x144 throughout the file. dont know which group or individual is doing the encoding but im guessing its messing up because theyre recording a stream with fluctuating quality and they dont double check it afterwards or think its worth the time to fix.

Ouch. Posted here or out in the wild?

out in the wild though im sure at least some have made there way here. abba-509 is an example but it hasnt been posted here. you can usually tell based on the file size if its split into 2 parts because one will be a fraction of the other file even though most times theyre split in half or pretty close. ynps-002 is another example. those two examples are compilations. it may not be something to worry about with non-compilations or more popular releases because multiple ppl are ripping those so you dont end up with just one messed up rip that everyone is passing around.
