What does DVD rip xvid max torrent torrent download mean

DVDRip means it was ripped from the DVD itself. XviD is a video codec which basically compresses the video to fit onto a 700mb CD or to store on your computer to save space while retaining good quality (kind of like a mp3 as opposed to the actual CD). Max torrent means it came from a torrent site or was ripped by someone who goes by the alias Max.
