▐░ ░▌
0. Intro:
There have been a lot of lame propers and P2P activities recently
that have necessitated the updating of the DVDR standards. The
main changes include: Increased release sizes (1.1), removal of
warnings (1.7), DVD9 releases and DVD5 sources must be kept
complete (2.2), removal of commentary subs if commentary audio
has been removed (7.1), internal tag is required before the group
name (13.10), and the extent of the propers/nuking section (14).
1. General:
1.1. Release size MUST be between 4.33-4.37 GB unless source is DVD5.
If the release cannot achieve the minimum size allowed a valid
explanation is required in the NFO, e.g., Source was less than
4.33 GB after only removing the full screen cut, etc.
1.2. PAL after NTSC and NTSC after PAL is allowed.
1.3. Different regions do NOT dupe each other.
1.4. Widescreen releases are allowed after Fullscreen.
1.5. Fullscreen releases are NOT allowed after Widescreen.
1.6. Boxsets are recommended to be released as separate single DVDs.
e.g., MOVIE.TITLE.EXTENDED.EDITION.DiSC1.STANDARD.DVDR-GROUP
1.7. Protections, limitations and warnings MUST be removed. Logo
removal are optional but recommended.
1.8. Trailers and previews are recommended to be removed but are NOT
required to be.
1.9. Releases MUST follow the DVD-Video standard. Releases that do
not follow the standard decrease overall compatibility with
players, and will NOT be tolerated.
1.10. Releases SHOULD include source proof. SCREENERS and BOOTLEGS
are exempt. If proof provided, refer to section 16.
2. Size:
2.1. DVD9 source:
2.1.1 Maximum size of the final image MUST be no larger than the
maximum storage capacity of a standard DVD+R = 4,700,372,992
bytes.
Notes: The removal of extras to keep the video untouched is ONLY
allowed if the release size is at least 4.33 GB. However,
if the size is under the limit then the release will be
nuked for undersized. Therefore, the extras MUST be kept
and re-encoded to fill the DVD.
2.2. DVD9 releases/DVD5 source:
2.2.1 Must be kept COMPLETE.
2.2.2 Any unnecessary removal of data, with the exception of the items
specified in rules 1.7 and 1.8, will result in the release being
nuked for undersized_data.unnecessarily.removed even if the
release is within the acceptable size range.
3. Video:
3.1. Re-encoding:
3.1.1 CCE version 2.67+ or higher MUST be used in all circumstances
where re-encoding of the video stream is required.
3.1.2 Automated programs that perform DVD9->DVD5 rips are STRICTLY
FORBIDDEN.
3.1.3 DVD-Rebuilder PRO 1.28+ is allowed if the following criteria
is met:
- The one-click option CANNOT be used.
- CCE version(s) as mentioned above MUST be the encoder used.
- Qual Prec and VBR Bias MUST be adjusted accordingly.
- Max_Bitrate MUST be set according to the DVD-Video standards.
- Target_Sectors SHOULD be set to utilize as many sectors as
possible.
- RB-Opt. or external program to add or modify the CCE
settings based upon the encode is recommended.
3.1.4 Releases that are re-encoded MUST apply the appropriate
de-interlacing methods if applicable to the source video
stream.
3.1.5 TV-DVDR is NOT required to be de-interlaced.
3.1.6 Minimum average bitrate allowed is 3,000 kbit/s (2,800 kbit/s
for tv shows). If minimum average bitrate cannot be achieved,
splitting the disc is allowed and a valid explanation is
required in the NFO.
3.1.7 CCE Quality Settings:
- No CBR. Multipass MUST be enforced.
- The initial 1st pass that encodes the .vaf file or Qual Prec.
control file is NOT considered within the multipass set.
- VBR Bias and Qual Prec. values SHOULD be set as:
VBR Bias - Recommended Value = 30
Qual Prec. - Recommended Value = 28
- The number of passes required for a movie is to be determined
by the final avg. bitrate:
Under 4,000 kbit/s avg. = Min. 6 passes required.
Above 4,000 kbit/s avg. = Min. 5 passes required.
NOTE: The Parameters of a CCE encode should be adjusted according
to the source video stream. However it is not up to us as to
what they should be and/or which filters should be used during
the encoding of the source video stream. Enforcing this would
also be extremely difficult as well so, we leave these to each
groups specific decision as a high recommendation.
4. Audio:
4.1. Dolby Digital is considered the standard audio format and is
required to be included when available.
4.2. DVDs that contain only PCM audio are allowed and MUST
make note of it within the NFO.
4.3. Downsampling of any audio track is FORBIDDEN.
4.4. If audio is stripped from a DVD9 disk, superior audio tracks
need to be kept. e.g., If a DVD contained DD2.0 and DD5.1
audio, DD2.0 would be stripped in favor of 5.1. However in
regards to DVDs that contain both DTS and 5.1, 5.1 must be
kept. The inclusion of a DTS stream is at the ripper's
discretion.
4.5. For non-English movies, the movie's original language audio
stream MUST be kept unless it is not contained in the retail.
In the event that a reissue/new edition DVD contains an original
language audio stream, a re-release of the movie is valid.
4.6. For ALL English movies, the English audio stream MUST be kept.
4.7. The inclusion of other audio streams is at the discretion
of the ripper, whether they are foreign or commentary.
4.8. If foreign audio tracks are included in a re-encoded release,
the release MUST include the MULTi tag in the directory.
4.9. MULTi audio releases do NOT dupe each other if the newer release
contains an audio stream that has not yet been released.
4.10. A retail release with the dubbed audio tracks removed does NOT
dupe a MULTi release or a release with dubs included.
4.11. English dubbed titles without the original audio language track
and no english subtitles MUST include the tag DUBBED in the
directory.
NOTE: DTS/DTS-ONLY/SUPERBiT/CRiTERiON/3D are issues that cannot be
ignored. However, this standard does not give preference to
the allowing or disallowing of these types of release. It is
up to individual sites to determine whether or not to allow
them within their individual DVDR section rules. However,
groups that wish to pre these types of release MUST name the
release directory clearly with the appropriate tags of
DTS, DTS-ONLY, SUPERBiT, CRiTERiON and 3D.

14. Propers/Nuking:
14.1. Propers will be valid if any of the above standards are
not followed in a release and/or if the previous release had
technical flaws, e.g., video glitches, audio errors, menu errors,
etc. However, if the release can be patched via a PPF patching
system, a PROPER by another group or REPACK by initial group
will NOT be tolerated.
14.2. Just because a previous release was not COMPLETE does not
provide a legitimate reason to PROPER/DUPE.
14.3. A PROPER based on increased quality when the previous release
was within the standards is considered qualitative and will NOT
be tolerated.
14.4. Regions do not dupe each other, regardless of PAL or NTSC.
14.5. MULTI releases are NOT considered dupes of previous releases if
they contain a different set of audio or subtitle tracks.
14.6. Propers MUST be from the same region.
e.g., R2 PAL CANNOT proper R2 NTSC.
14.7. Propers based on previous releases having improper dir names,
incomplete NFO's or bad samples will NOT be tolerated. DIRFIX,
NFOFIX and SAMPLEFIX are to be used in these cases.
14.8. Nukes/Propers based on "common sense" are NOT acceptable.
14.9. Nukes/Propers based on any 'NOT required', 'SHOULD', 'suggested'
or 'recommended' of the above standards are STRICTLY forbidden.
14.10. Misuse of recovery records or invalid RAR sizes CANNOT be
propered but SHOULD be REPACKed.
15. Tagging:
15.1. Intros and outros any other forms of defacement are NOT allowed.
15.2. Group watermarks or names anywhere within the DVD are STRICTLY
forbidden, e.g., Group name in the Provider ID.

tags to the Volume Label will NOT be tolerated.
16. Proof (recommended):
16.1. Snapshot (not scan) of the actual physical disc (printed side) in
JPEG/PNG format with a group tag. Disc snapshot must be in good
quality with disc details clear and readable. Small portions
containing store stickers/barcodes may be blurred or blackened.
16.2. Cover scans may be added but DO NOT count as sufficient proof.
16.3. Proof MUST be placed within a separate subdirectory named "Proof",
or within the "Sample" folder.
