│ └───[ RELEASE RULES ]───┘ │
|
||
|
|
│ │
|
||
|
|
│ Movie Length: │
|
||
|
|
│ - PAL (25 fps) = min runtime is 105 minutes/CD │
|
||
|
|
│ - FILM (23.976 fps) = min runtime is 110 minutes/CD │
|
||
|
|
│ - NTSC (29.97 fps) = min runtime is 92 minutes/CD │
|
||
|
|
│ TV-Series Episodes shall NOT be exempt from these rules (See Series │
|
||
|
|
│ Notes). │
|
||
|
|
│ These runtimes are scalable via the following equation: │
|
||
|
|
│ N cd time minimum = (N-1) * allowed_time where N is number of CDs and │
|
||
|
|
│ allowable time applies to your format │
|
||
|
|
│ (i.e. 4 cd FILM rip min = 110 x (4-1) = 330 minutes) │
|
||
|
|
│ │
|
||
|
|
│ Media usage is at Ripper's discretion, please use it. │
|
||
|
|
│ Releases should utilize at minimum 97% of total media capacity, however │
|
