omglearntogoogle: the rules for 720p x264 changed from a size/length based format to a constant rate
factor (crf)
based system. essentially now the content is encoded to a crf value (18 or 19) and based on the
source quality, content, etc some shows are bigger/smaller depending on the week. if a show is super
grainy or handheld camera or both under this new system the size shoots up. entourage is all
handheld so it makes sense. friday night lights suffered the most under this so its both super
grainy and handheld.
simply put if the content and the source require it, the file size will be larger. overall it is
better quality then forcing something to a certain bitrate/size.
this is why the quality varies, torrentday's rules
