What does this mean in practical terms? BRRips are usually smaller in file size than BDRips (often under 4GB compared to 4.5GB or more for larger BDRip releases). However, because BRRips are encoded from a source that has already undergone lossy compression, they may—in theory—introduce additional compression artifacts or quality degradation. In practice, with skilled encoding settings and modern codecs, the difference can be nearly imperceptible to most viewers on typical displays. Still, the risk is that if the source BDRip used for the BRRip had any inherent flaws (such as banding, blocking, or color shifts), those flaws will be preserved or even amplified in the BRRip.
