for the most part, you're safe; because media files aren't executable (like exe, appimage, etc) including a virus in the file wouldn't do much. there could be a zero-day (e.g buffer overflow in the media file that exploits a flaw in the player/decoder, but that isn't anywhere near as common as including malware in executable files.

some of the best releases are still in x264. can't wait for av1 to be more mainstream, though.

absolutely agree. for most shows, I don't particularly care what I download, but for specific shows like GoT, I'll go for the high quality x264 copy
