There are many netizens asking Screener, TS, TC, PDVD, and how quality. I also saw that netizens issued the interpretation of the discussion of the film release, I think it is in an inactivation. For example, Proper does not mean that Quality is perfect, TS or Telesync does not refer to from the plaid machine. In fact, Telesync and Cam are recorded in the theater (commonly known as the gun plate) with Digital Camera or Camcorder (commonly known as the gun version). Here are some terms explanation: Translator: Huaye At TLF BBS Source Source Cam - a Cam Is Aateater Rip USUALLY DONE with A DIGITER VIP USUALA. A MINI Tripod Is Sometimes Used, But a Lot of The Time this Wont BE Possible, SO the camera make shake. Also seating placement is not 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 theater will be fairly empty and a fairly Clear Signal Will Be Heard. Cam usually has a digital camera to pose from the cinema. Sometimes small tribes will be used, but most of the time it is impossible, so the camera is shaken. At the same time, due to the seat of the camera, it is not always empty, so that sometimes shooting is not horizontal. If the late tailor is very good, it is difficult to see unless there is subtitles under the screen. Since the sound is recorded from the microphone comes from the camera, it is often recorded to the audience's laughter, especially the comedians. Because these factors, images and sound quality are usually very poor. But sometimes a lot of lucky cinema is quite empty, which will record some sound.

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 In addition to the use of an external source (generally a well-known headset hole), TelesysysNC (TS) and CAM standards are the same. This direct source cannot guarantee that it is a good source, which is because it is disturbed by many background noise. Many times TS is recorded in the empty cinema, or use professional cameras to record in the projection room, so the image quality may be better than CAM. Quality can look large, it is best to view Sample before downloading. A large proportion of TS is marked from a CAM error. . 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. A great example is the JURASSIC PARK 3 TC done last year. TC should not be confused with TimeCode, which is a visible counter on screen throughout the film. tELECINE (TC) using a telecine from film digitally copied The image and sound quality should be very good. But because the equipment used is high, TC is rare. The correct aspect ratio is usually used, but sometimes 4: 3 TC. Last year's Jurassic Park III is a good example. The TC and Timecode should not be confused, and the time code is a counter visible on the screen.

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 serial 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 thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, But A Few Attempts At Svcd Have Occurred, Some Looking Better Tha n Others. Screener (SCR) is sent to the video rental store and other places before the movie release VHS video tape. Screener uses VHS video tapes, usually 4: 3 (full screen) aspect ratio, but sometimes there will be letterboxed (1.85: 1 wide screen) Screener. The main disadvantage is that there is "Ticker" (scrolling under the screen) , Contain copyright and anti-piracy phone numbers). At the same time, if the audio band contains any serial number or can cause a sign of the recorded source, these marks must be covered, which typically covers the above portion. Sometimes these marks only have a few seconds, sometimes it may be unfortunate to appear in movies, and sometimes it will be large. Depending on the device used, the quality of Screner may be excellent. If it is from the original copy; it may be poor, if it is recorded from the ripple, but also uses a very bad capture device and video recorder. Most Screner is turned into VCD, and SVCD has now appeared; some seem to be 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 TRENERRED TO SVCD OR DivX / XVID. DVD-Screener (DVDSCR) and Screener are similar, but from DVD. It is usually 1.85: 1 wide screen, but does not include the flower floc in the retail version. Ticker is often not in black, so it will affect watch.

Put out as their owna, Silvers Are Veap And easily available in a lot of countries, and its easy to put out a release, which is why there are so many in the scene at the moment, mainly from smaller groups who do not last more than a few releases.

The PDVD is the same as Silver, but it is pressed on the DVD. PDVD usually has external subtitles, quality is better than Silver. The PDVD is like a normal DVD, but usually published in the format of the VCD. Scene Tags release files logo PROPER - Due to scene rules, whoever releases the first Telesync has won that race (for example) But if the quality of that release is fairly poor, if another group has another telesync (or the same source in. higher quality) then the tag PROPER is added to the folder to avoid being duped. PROPER is the most subjective tag in the scene, and a lot of people will generally argue whether the PROPER is better than the original release. A lot of groups release ProPers Just Out of Desperation Due to Losing The Race. A Reason for The Proper SHOULD ALWAYS BE INCLUDED IN The NFO. Based on the release rule, the TELESYNC (TS) organization won (TS release) competition. However, if this release version is very poor, another tissue has another TS version (or a better quality for the same source), then the tag Proper is added to the directory to avoid repetition. Proper is a most subjective tag, and many people will argue whether Proper is better than the original release. Many release organizations only release the Proper because of the release of the publishing competition. The reason for the release of ProPer is always included in the NFO file.

SUBBED -. In the case of a VCD, if a release is subbed, it usually means it has hard encoded subtitles burnt throughout the movie These are generally in malaysian / chinese / thai etc, and sometimes there are two different languages, which can take up quite a large amount of the screen. SVCD supports switch able subtitles, so some DVDRips are released with switch able subs. This will be mentioned in the NFO file if included. for VCD release is, SUBBED usually means subtitles are pressed into the the film. They are usually Malay / Chinese / Thai, sometimes there are two languages. They may occupy a large part of the screen. SVCD supports plug-in subtitles, so DVDRIP is published with an external subtitle. This information can be found in the NFO file. Unsubbed - WHEN A Film Has Had A Subbed Release In The Past, An Unsubbed Release May Be Released When a movie has released subtitle Subbed versions, the unsubbed version without subtitles may also be released. LIMITED - A limited movie means it has had a limited theater run, generally opening in less than 250 theaters, generally smaller films (such as art house films) are released as limited LIMITED movie means show only limited movie theater, usually. Less than 250. Usually the release of a smaller movie (such as art movie) is Limeted.

INTERNAL -... An internal release is done for several reasons Classic DVD groups do a lot of .INTERNAL releases, as they wont be dupe'd on it Also lower quality theater rips are done INTERNAL so not to lower the reputation of the group , or due to the amount of rips done already. An INTERNAL release is available as normal on the groups affiliate sites, but they can not be traded to other sites without request from the site ops. Some INTERNAL releases still trickle down to IRC / Newsgroups, it usually depends on the title and the popularity. Earlier in the year people referred to Centropy going "internal". This meant the group were only releasing the movies to their members and site ops. This is in a different context to the usual There are several reasons for DEFINITION. INTERNAL. Classic DVD organizations have a lot of. All, publish, which will not cause confusion. At the same time, low quality conference will be in the INTERNAL tag, which does not reduce the reputation of the release organization, or due to the number already released. Internal publishing can be obtained on a member of the organization, but no other website administrators require them to be swapped to other websites. Some ternal releases still flows to IRC / NewsGroup, which is often dependent on the movie and its facilities. Earlier this year, people made centropy as Internal. This means that the release organization only is only released to its membership and website administrators. This is often different from it. STV - Straight to Video. Was Never Released in Theaters, and Therefore a lot of sites do not allow these. STV indicates that the film has never been released in the cinema show, so many sites are not allowed to allow STV. Aspect Ratio Tags - Tags - THESE ARE * WS * for WideScreen (LetterBox) and * fs * for fullscreen. * WS * indicates a wide screen, * fs * means full screen. RECODE -.

Although they look good, they usually don't think this is good behavior because the release organization should go to their own sources.
