&#170; The Swedish TV XviD Releasing Standards 2008 &#170;
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
&#170; Requirements: Notepad with terminal font or any other ascii viewer. &#170;
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------&#170;
&#170; +---[ INTRO ]---+ &#170;
&#170; While the Americans were trying to agree on new TV-XviD rules we took &#170;
&#170; their draft in our own hands and here we present the Swedish TV-XviD &#170;
&#170; rules. They are specially adapted for Swedish television airtimes and &#170;
&#170; formats. Big thanks goes out to the writers of the US draft for all the &#170;
&#170; time and effort they put into it. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
&#170; +---[ RELEASE RULES ]---+ &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; Release sizing: &#170;
&#170; - Shows 18:00-23:59 shall be 175MB &#170;
&#170; - Shows 24:00-34:59 shall be 233MB &#170;
&#170; - Shows 35:00-51:59 shall be 350MB &#170;
&#170; - Shows 52:00-64:59 shall be 525MB* &#170;
&#170; - Shows 65:00-95:00 Shall be 700MB &#170;
&#170; *NOTE: Shows 52:00-64:59 may be sized at either 525 or 700MB at the &#170;
&#170; capper&#39;s discretion based on show framerate and content. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Shows of any other length should be sized at ripper&#39;s discretion &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Best effort should be made to release all episodes of a given series &#170;
&#170; at the same size. If one episode runs slightly over or under the size &#170;
&#170; lines, it should still be done at the same size as other episodes in &#170;
&#170; order to maintain consistency. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - 2CD releases may be optionally split into separate discs, but this is &#170;
&#170; not required. 3CD or more releases must be split to prevent issues with &#170;
&#170; >2GB files. If releases are split into multiple discs, they must be &#170;
&#170; placed in directories named CD1, CD2, CD3, etc. (No Disc1, cd1, or other &#170;
&#170; naming styles). &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Episodes that air back-to-back without a natural break such as full &#170;
&#170; credits or commercials in between must be encoded as a single release. &#170;
&#170; Directory naming for this will be in the following format: &#170;
&#170; TV.Show.S03E04-E05.SWEDiSH.HDTV.XviD-Group. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Releases must be within the range of 5.0MB under to 3.0 MB over the &#170;
&#170; target size. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; Previously on/Credits: &#170;
&#170; - It is suggested that any &#34;previously on&#34; footage be included in the &#170;
&#170; release, but it is not required. No release may be propered for glitches &#170;
&#170; in or missing portions of &#34;previously on&#34; footage. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Credits that are overlayed on actual show content are required to be &#170;
&#170; included. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Credits that are run cleanly, i.e. with no modifications such as &#170;
&#170; promos for upcoming shows, are encouraged but not required. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Credits run with promos for other shows are not recommended, but may &#170;
&#170; optionally be included. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; Video: &#170;
&#170; - 2-pass variable bitrate XviD must be used. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - The second pass must be done as spanning the entire episode with &#170;
&#170; bitrate distribution based on need determined from a stats file &#170;
&#170; referencing the entire episode; segmenting with arbitrary bitrates is &#170;
&#170; banned. &#170;
&#170; &#170;

&#170; - The use of B frames is required. &#170;
&#170; - A maximum of 2 consecutive B frames may be used. &#170;
&#170; - This document gives no preference to packed vs. unpacked bitstreams &#170;
&#170; as there are benefits to each format, and it is trivial to convert &#170;
&#170; between them using MPEG4 Modifier. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Framerate must be 25.000 fps. &#170;

&#170; removed. In the case of changing crops, cropping should be done so that &#170;
&#170; no part of the release is overcropped. Portions of a channel logo &#170;
&#170; extending into black areas must be cropped. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Video defacement such as intros, outros, and group watermarks is &#170;
&#170; forbidden. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;

&#170; Show.Name.S00E00.SWEDiSH.HDTV.XviD-Group &#170;

&#170; - Container must be AVI. &#170;
&#170; - The AVI itself should be named like the release and include some &#170;

&#170; - The sample must be placed in a directory named Sample (SAMPLE and &#170;
&#170; sample are not permitted). &#170;
&#170; - The file itself should be named uniquely, preferably containing the &#170;
&#170; name of the release as well as the word sample. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - NFO: &#170;
&#170; - An NFO must be included in the release and, at a minimum, must &#170;
&#170; contain release name, episode number (or title), and date of &#170;
&#170; airing/release. &#170;
&#170; - The NFO must be named uniquely based on the name of the release. &#170;
&#170; &#170;

&#170; - ._- &#170;

&#170; - Double dots (..) are not allowed. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; Propers: &#170;
&#170; - Propers are only permitted in the case of technical flaws with the &#170;
&#170; original release or violations of applicable rules. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - All propers must include a note in the NFO detailing the flaw in the &#170;
&#170; original release, including timecodes if relevant. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Including a sample of the flaw is suggested but not required. &#170;
&#170; &#170;
&#170; - Propers are expressly permitted in cases of any of the following flaws &#170;
&#170; in a release: &#170;
&#170; - Audio 150ms or more out of sync &#170;
&#170; - Severe audio drops resulting in the inability to understand material &#170;
&#170; dialogue &#170;
&#170; - Improper audio normalization, including audio with levels that vary &#170;
&#170; widely between parts, very quiet audio, or audio with excessive &#170;
&#170; clipping &#170;
&#170; - Bad cropping resulting in a line of black pixels or noise along an &#170;
&#170; edge for the entire episode &#170;
&#170; - Releases missing a significant portion of video, either in duration &#170;
&#170; or content &#170;
&#170; - Loss of 2 seconds of fade in after a break, with no lost dialogue, &#170;
&#170; is considered bad form, but is not a valid proper reason &#170;
&#170; - Change in video format (i.e. PDTV on an HDTV release) exceeding five &#170;
&#170; seconds or causing loss of dialogue. &#170;
&#170; - Local overlays such as weather, breaking news, or Amber Alerts that &#170;
&#170; exceed five minutes in length, cause a change in video format (i.e. &#170;
&#170; drop to PDTV on an HDTV release), or cause loss of dialogue or video &#170;
&#170; - The proper release must be completely free of overlays to be &#170;
&#170; considered valid; merely having less spam is not enough &#170;
&#170; - Inclusion of 2 or more seconds of commercials over an entire release &#170;
&#170; - Releases with sizing outside the allowed range. 3.01MB oversize is a &#170;
&#170; valid proper reason. &#170;
&#170; - The enumeration in this document, of certain proper reasons, shall not &#170;
&#170; be construed to deny or disparage others that may be valid &#170;
