The file captures the definitive version of a landmark film (the UNRATED cut), optimized with the best codec of its era (x264), at the functional resolution for the time (720p), with a file size that remains miraculously small (800MB). Whether you are a film student studying early Apatow, a data hoarder preserving media, or just a fan who wants to watch Seth Rogen scream "I am going to *** your ***!" in the highest quality possible for 800 megs, this release remains the gold standard.
