In my experience, the difference between the lossless source after post-processing and the MPEG-2 compressed file is negligible.

The unprocessed captured AVIs are 60-80GB per film - and that's compressed with huffyuv. It'd theoretically take about 7 weeks of solid uploading for me to put these on a.b.sw, and no-one is prepared to do that (not to mention it will piss off the users of the group and probably the uploader's ISP as well).

Some people may offer to copy the files for the price of a hard drive plus shipping - if they still have them. My raw AVIs are now deleted, and I believe Cowclops has deleted his as well.
