Este un rip filmat in sala de cinema cu o camera digitala.
Un trepied este adesea folosit, dar de multe ori acest lucru nu este posibil, asadar imaginea este pe alocuri tremuranda.
De asemenea, locatia nu este intotdeauna cea mai fericita, fiind uneori filmat dintr-o parte.
Daca este taiat corespunzator, atunci este mai greu de detectat, dar se observa daca este text pe ecran, dar de multe ori aceste release-uri sunt lasate cu benzi negre la marginile ecranului.
Sunetul este luat de la microfonul camerei video si, in special la comedii, se pot auzi rasetele audientei.
Datorita acestor factori, imaginea si sunetul sunt slabe, dar uneri cinematograful este gol si se poate vedea si auzi decent.
TELESYNC (TS):
Un telesync seamana cu un CAM cu exceptia ca foloseste o sursa audio externa (de obicei un jack audio din scaun pentru persoanele tari de urechi).
O sursa audio directa nu asigura o buna calitate audio, deoarece poate interfera cu zgomote de fundal.
Uneori un TS este filmat intr-un cinema gol sau din camera de proiectie cu o camera profesionala, asigurand o calitate mai bun a imaginii. Calitatea variaza drastic, verificati sample-ul inainte de a descarca un release.
Multe TSuri sunt CAMuri etichetate gresit.
TELECINE (TC):
Telecine este rezultatul copierii digitale a benzii de cinema.
Sunetul si imaginea sunt foarte bune.
In general filmele au aspectul corect, desi au existat si TC-uri 4:3.
A nu se confunda TC cu TimeCode, care are un cronometru vizibil pe ecran pe tot parcursul filmului.
SCREENER (SCR):
Este o caseta VHS, trimisa inainte de lansare magazinelor de inchirieri sau altor locuri in scopuri promotionale.
Un screener are de obicei un aspect 4:3 (full screen), desi screenere letterboxed au existat.
Principala problema este un ticker (un mesaj care se plimba pe ecran cu copyright-ul si numarul de telefon anti-copiere).
De asemenea, daca banda contine numere de inregistrarea sau alte semne dupa care se poate identifica provenienta, acestea trebuiesc si ele blocate, de obicei cu o banda neagra. Aceasta dureaza uneori cateva secunde, alteori tot filmul, si unele poti fi chiar mari. In functie de echipamentul folositi, calitatea screener-ului variaza de la excelenta, realizat de pe un MASTER, la foarte proasta, realizata pe un video-recorder obisnuit prin captura inferior calitativa.
Cele mai multe screenere sunt transformate in VCD, dar au existat si cateva SVCD, unele chiar foarte bune.
DVD-SCREENER (DVDscr):
Aceleasi premise ca un screener, dar transferate pe DVD. De obcei letterbox, dar fara bonusurile pe care le va contine DVDul final.
Mesajul este de obicei in afara benzilor negre si va deranja vizionarea.
Daca ripper-ul stie ce face, un DVDscr ar trebui sa fie foarte bun. Se transfera de obicei in SVCD sau DivX/XviD.
DVDRip:
Copie de pe DVDul final (comercializat).
Daca este posibil, acesta este lansat PRE, adica inaintea punerii lui in vanzare si calitatea ar trebui sa fie excelenta.
DVDripurile sunt lansate in SVCD si DivX/XviD.
VHSRip:
Transferat de pe o caseta VHS comerciala, de obicei casete cu skating/sport si release-uri XXX.
TVRip:
Episoadele TV sunt luate fie in ziua difuzarii (capturate folosind un semnal digital, de preferat) sau PRE-AIR, de pe transmisiile satelit care transmit programul retelelor de distributie cu cateva zile inainte de difuzare (uneori contine flickere).
Unele programe gen WWF Raw Is War contin bonusuri care sunt incluse in release.
PDTV este capturat cu ajutorul unei placi TV PCI, de obicei rezultand o calitate foarte buna, grupurile avand tendinta de a le lansa in format SVCD. Ripurile VCD/SVCD/DivX/XviD sunt acceptate de scena.
HDTV:
HDTV inseamna ca acea captura s-a realizat de la un semnal video digital de inalta definitie, cum emit cam toate televiziunile serioase, calitatea fiind chiar superioara dvd-urilor.
WORKPRINT (WP):
Workprintul este o copie a unui film care nu a fost terminat. Poate avea scene lipsa si calitate variza de la excelent la foarte .
Unele WP-uri difera de versiunea finala iar altele contin scene in plus. WP-urile reprezinta un bonus de colectie, pe langa varianta finala.
REGION 5 (R5):
Denumirea aceasta provine de la zona de unde provine DVD-ul folosit la copiere. Regiunea 5 este formata din Europa de Est (cu accent pe Rusia), India, Africa, Coreea de Nord si Mongolia. Calitatea imaginii pentru aceasta varianta este foarte buna, fiind DVDRip , insa sonorul este problema. Pentru ca nu pot folosi sunetul de pe DVD (nu ar intelege mai nimeni rusa sau hindi) apeleaza la alte surse, cum ar fi Telecine sau Telesync.
BRRip:
Un XviD creat dintr-un release Blu-Ray (fisier matroska, 1080p *.mkv )
BDRip:
BDRip = Un XviD creat dupa o sursa Blu-Ray disk.
NOTA: Desi ambele formate, si BRRips, si BDRips sunt superioare calitativ DVDRip-urilor, de obicei au rezolutia de 720p, deoarece playerele standard Divx (*.avi) nu suporta rezolutii mai mari. A nu se confunda cu originalul Blu-Ray rip-ul de 1080p, rezolutia fisierelor Blu-Ray sau a fisierele H.264*.mkv
EN Language
R5 and R5.Line
This is a region 5 DVD rip, which are released in Russia. These often occur labeled as R5.Line, which means the original audio (often Russian) has been dubbed over with an English audio source, often taken from a TS or TC.
R5
A russian release, usually will better video quality than a Telecine, and direct audio. Comes much earlier than a R1 release for example. In an effort to stop pirating in that part of the world they release 'pretty good' quality versions very soon after the theatrical release.
CAM
A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. A mini tripod is sometimes used, but a lot of the time this won't be possible, so the camera may shake. Also seating placement isn't always idle, and it might be filmed from an angle. If cropped properly, this is hard to tell unless there's text on the screen, but a lot of times these are left with triangular borders on the top and bottom of the screen. Sound is taken from the onboard microphone of the camera, and especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we're lucky, and the theater will be' fairly empty and a fairly clear signal will be heard.
TELESYNC (TS)
A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled.
TELECINE (TC)
A telecine machine copies the film digitally from the reels. Sound and picture should be very good, but due to the equipment involved and cost telecines are fairly uncommon. Generally the film will be in correct aspect ratio, although 4:3 telecines have existed. TC should not be confused with TimeCode , which is a visible counter on screen throughout the film.
SCREENER (SCR)
A pre VHS tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a VHS tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (full screen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any s*rial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder through poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occurred, some looking better than others.
DVD-SCREENER (DVDSCR)
Same premise as a screener, but transferred off a DVD. Usually letterbox , but without the extras that a DVD retail would contain. The ticker is not usually in the black bars, and will disrupt the viewing. If the ripper has any skill, a DVDscr should be very good. Usually transferred to SVCD or DivX/XviD.
DVDRip
A copy of the final released DVD. If possible this is released PRE retail. again, should be excellent quality. DVDrips are released in SVCD and DivX/XviD.
VHSRip
Transferred off a retail VHS, mainly skating/sports videos and XXX releases.
TV-Rips/Episodes
Preair/VCD
These are the first releases usually available on a TV show since they are encoded while the program airs, unlike the other release formats. Sometimes they are even from the feed to local stations and therefore available before it airs on tv.
The quality of these releases vary, but are generally pretty low since it is VCD, and widescreen shows (that includes the black lines, so it doesn't leave many lines for the actual video). The only advantage to this format is that it is available fast and it plays on all the standalone dvd players but if you have something that supports xvid go for one of the formats below if possible.
TVRip
Postair rips from an analogue source but the image quality is generally very good and they are encoded in xvid.
DSRip (Digital Satellite)
Postair rips from a digital satellite transmission, very good quality and they are encoded in xvid.
PDTV (Pure Digital TV)
Postair rips from a pci TV card that supports digital TV. This and HDTV are the most common formats and the quality is excellent. They are encoded in xvid.
HDTV (High Definition TV)
Postair rips from a pci tv card that supports HDTV which is broadcasted digitally and at a very high resolution although it is encoded in about the same resolution as PDTV releases depending on the release groups so there won't be a huge difference in quality between them, most networks are broadcasting in this format and it is encoded in xvid.
WORKPRINT (WP)
A workprint is a copy of the film that has not yet been finished. It can be missing scenes, music, and quality can range from excellent to very poor. Some WP's are very different from the final print ('Men In Black' in it's time for example was missing all the aliens, and had actors in their places (kinda funny though!)) and others can contain extra scenes. WP's can be nice additions to the collection once a good quality final has been obtained.
DivX Re-Enc
A DivX re-enc is a film that has been taken from its original VCD source, and re-encoded into a small DivX file. Most commonly found on file sharers, these are usually labeled something like Film.Name.Group(1of2) etc. Common groups are SMR and TND. These aren't really worth downloading, unless you're that unsure about a film u only want a 200mb copy of it. Generally avoid.
Watermarks
A lot of films come from Asian Silvers/PDVD (see below) and these are tagged by the people responsible. Usually with a letter/initials or a little logo, generally in one of the corners. Most famous are/were the "z" "A" and "Globe" watermarks.
Asian Silvers / PDVD
These are films put out by eastern bootleggers, and these are usually bought by some groups to put out as their own. Silvers are very cheap and easy to come by in a lot of countries, and its easy to put out a release, which is why there are so many on the scene at the moment, mainly from smaller groups who don't last more than a few releases. PDVDs are the same thing pressed onto a DVD. They have removable subtitles, and the quality is usually better than the silvers. These are ripped like a normal DVD, but usually released as VCD.
