Be sure and leave a comment on the torrent’s you download

1. It’s just good etiquette to comment on what you download to encourage more torrents from the uploader.
2. For good or bad .torrents and flag bad ones if needed, For any torrent you download. _{((That way if a bad one does get through we can remove it)}
3. When you leave comments just beware of the fact that any problem that you are having could be on your end and not the uploaders fault.
4. If there is no sound, it’s more likely that you don’t have the right codec installed than that the sound is actually missing. The Vista Codec Pack or the CCCP are the best , But if you must use the K-lite codec pack it will work, Although the AC3 Filter is one that people typically over look and fall over. _{(Only install one codec pack as installing more than one will cause conflicts excluding the AC3 Filter as it is not a codec pack you can install it together with a codec pack)}
5. Likewise, if the video or audio is choppy, make sure your codecs are OK before flaming the uploader.
   _{(In fact, never flame , just explain calmly and clearly the problems you are having)}

¹⁰ 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 wont be possible, so the camera make 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.

¹¹ 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.

¹² 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.

¹³ 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 than others.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵ R5 _{(Region 5)}

R5 stands for Region 5. In terms of region coding, these are Russian or Eastern European retails pre released to combat piracy. The video quality is that of your garden variety dvd screener (DVDscr), as this is the source for the video, but the language/soundtrack may be dubbed from any source including (but not limited to), that from poor quality cams. The Scene would like to see a new R5 catagory as opposed to them being labled as DVDSCR or TC.

¹⁶ BDRip

A copy of the final released Blu-Ray. If possible this is released PRE retail (for example, Star Wars episode 2) again, should be excellent quality. Blu-Ray’s are released in H.264 .mp4.

¹⁷ DVDRip

A copy of the final released DVD. If possible this is released PRE retail (for example, Star Wars episode 2) again, should be excellent quality. DVDrips are released in SVCD, DivX/XviD and H.264 .mp4.

¹⁸ VHSRip

Transferred off a retail VHS, mainly skating/sports videos and XXX releases.

¹⁹ TVRip

TV episode that is either from Network (capped using digital cable/satellite boxes are preferable) or PRE-AIR from satellite feeds sending the program around to networks a few days earlier (do not contain “dogs” but sometimes have flickers etc) Some programs such as WWF Raw Is War contain extra parts, and the “dark matches” and camera/commentary tests are included on the rips. PDTV is capped from a digital TV PCI card, generally giving the best results, and groups tend to release in SVCD for these. VCD/SVCD/DivX/XviD rips are all supported by the TV scene.

²⁰ WORKPRINT _(WP)

A workprint is a copy of the film that has not been finished. It can be missing scenes, music, and quality can range from excellent to very poor. Some WPs are very different from the final print (Men In Black is missing all the aliens, and has actors in their places) and others can contain extra scenes (Jay and Silent Bob) . WPs can be nice additions to the collection once a good quality final has been obtained.

²¹ 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.
