Vocab question no. 63: collocation of quality
Hello All,
May I ask you to spare a minute and have a look on this sentence:
I just realized I've got hundreds of movies ___
a) in low quality
b) of low quality
My first guess was that either would be correct but the meaning would be different: a) the screen resolution or the sound quality might be bad b) perhaps the movie itself is bad?
On another glance though, I'd say that the first one might be incorrect...
Could you offer me some answers?

I find 'in' incorrect there and 'of' meaning A. With the meaning B, it is interpretable as such but does not sound natural. To me, B would be simply 'I've got hundreds of bad movies'.
