Im not saying compress the hell out of it and make it look crappy, Im saying that some of this bitrate simply is not justified. If you can take a video and digitize with no loss in quality at say 300k/s, why would you need to jack that number up to 1900k/s?

Like I said, a prime example is the Nirvana Uncut DVD, the bitrate is simply way too high, and is not justified in any way shape or form. Im not advocating lowering a bitrate for the sake of lowering, Im advoicating choosing a realitic bitrate that properly reflects the source materials needs
