JB,
The only newsgroup where I've seen true HD files posted is
alt.binaries.hdtv.
And these are usually encoded in Transport Stream (*.ts) format.
The other groups may be using a High Definition program source,
but are not actually encoding the video in HD resolution.
They are usually encoded as Standard Definition, or something less.
As to which system, VIDX or DIVX, produces a better picture,
I'll leave up to others.
