This couldn't be further from the truth. x264 .mkv encodes look significantly better than the iTunes versions. For example, from Pacific Rim; x264 - http://imgbox.com/abwySllC http://imgbox.com/abwySllC iTunes - http://imgbox.com/adgle3KK http://imgbox.com/adgle3KK x264 - http://imgbox.com/abm2Jr9l http://imgbox.com/abm2Jr9l iTunes - http://imgbox.com/acpmeiCt http://imgbox.com/acpmeiCt The difference is night and day, in my opinion. The homebrew encodes usually come with higher quality audio, too. Funnily enough, I have a Netflix account, an Amazon Prime account, and a Lovefilm account (UK based DVD/Blu-Ray rental service). Despite having all these services, I still prefer to pirate movies because it's simply more convenient and the quality is better.
