ViDEO�� �� V1) An x264 build within 20 builds of latest must be used for encoding.�� V2) One-click apps that re-encode BD50->BD25 rips are strictly forbidden.�� V3) All movies must be at their original framerate.�� V4) Must use 2 passes.�� V5) Minimum average bitrate allowed is 19000 kbit/s. If minimum�� average bitrate cannot be achieved, a valid explanation is�� required in the NFO. The minimum average bitrate for animation�� movies is 17000 kbit/s.�� V6) Some Bluray movies also contain 720p or 480p, next to the default 1080p.�� These lower resolutions are an added value but are not needed.�� If the movie needs to be re-encoded, these need to be stripped.�� V7) A minimum of 3, and a maximum of 4 reference frames must be used (--ref 3/4).�� V8) Must insert access unit delimiters (--aud).�� V9) Must use square pixels (--sar 1:1).�� V10) Must use at least subpixel refinement level 6 (--subme 6).�� V11) Must be compliant to level 4.1 high profile (--level 4.1).�� V12) Bitrate peak limit must not exceed 40 mbps (--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000).�� V13) Must use bframes level 3 (--bframes 3).�� V14) Trellis rd quantization should be level 1 (--trellis 1).�� V15) Should check all partition search types (--analyse x).�� V16) Must use level uhm or esa for the motion estimation method (--me uhm/esa).�� V17) CABAC must be used.�� �� �� - AUDiO�� �� A1) Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, and their equivalent HD audio stream�� are considered the standard audio formats. �� A2) Blurays that only contain DD2.0 or PCM audio are allowed and�� should be noted in the NFO.�� A3) Superior audio tracks need to be kept. e.g. If a Bluray contains�� DD5.1 and DTS-HD audio, DD5.1 would be stripped in favor to DTS-HD.�� A4) Though, you'll sometimes find it necessary to strip HD audio to�� make the Bluray fit on BD-R, as HD-audio is much larger. In this�� case, True-HD and DTS-HD audio can be transcoded to their�� equivalent non-HD audio stream (eac3to -core).�� Transcoding of a HD audio stream is up to the ripper's discretion.�� A5) It is not allowed to downsample the bitrate of DD 5.1, DTS, and�� HD streams to a bitrate lower than 640 Kbit/s.�� A6) For non-English movies, the movie's original language audio�� stream must be kept unless it is not contained in the retail.�� In this case you can use other language track but release must be�� tagged DUBBED. In the circumstances that a reissue/new edition�� Bluray contains an original language audio stream, a re-release�� of the movie is valid.�� A7) For all English movies, the English audio stream must be kept.�� A8) The inclusion of other audio streams will be based upon the�� ripper's discretion, whether they are foreign or commentary.�� �� �� - MENU�� �� M1) Menus must be included. In cases when it is not possible to�� maintain the menu, a valid reason must be explained in the nfo.�� In cases where the retail does not contain a menu, it must�� be mentioned in the NFO.�� M2) The English menu must always be kept. Foreign menus may be�� stripped, if this is required to make the release fit on BD-R.�� If there is no English menu, but only foreign, at least one of�� those should be kept.�� M3) If all else is stripped and you want to avoid reencoding the�� main movie, or you can't get the minimum bitrate, then the menu�� may be re-encoded at a minimum average bitrate of 10000 kbit/s. �� �� �� - EXTRAS & SUBTiTLES�� �� E1) Extras are an added value but are not needed. Extras are �� allowed to be re-encoded at ripper's discretion.�� E2) All subtitles must be kept.�� E3) Extras may be encoded at a lower bitrate. Mimimum bitrate for�� extras is 3000 kbps.�� E4) When an extra is stripped, it should be replaced by a dummy�� so that the Bluray-player won't crash.�� E5) Warnings and intros should be blanked, or even better, stripped.�� �� �� - SAMPLE�� �� S1) A sample of 1 minute, to a maximum size of 250mb, cut from the �� release is required in a 'Sample' directory. A .m2ts file must�� be cut and used as sample. You cannot rename a rar and use it as�� the sample. �� �� �� �� �� ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄�� ░▒▓▀▀▀██▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀██▄▄▄ ▄▄▄██▀▀▀▓▒░�� ░▒▓██████▄ ▄████▀▀ ▀▀████▄ ▄██████▓▒░�� ░▒▓███ ▀█▄▄█▀ ▀█▄▄█▀ ███▓▒░�� ░▒▓██▄ █▀ ▀█ ▄██▓▒░�� ░▒▓▀ ▀▓▒░ �� �� �� �� - PROPERS�� �� R1) Propers may only be released if previous had technical flaws�� such as bad quality, undersized, errors, etc. �� R2) Propers based on previous releases having stripped the menu�� are allowed.�� R3) It is not allowed to release a proper with HD audio, when a�� previous release has transcoded the HD audio to non-HD audio.�� R4) Just because a previous release was not COMPLETE does not�� provide a legitimate reason to proper/dupe.�� R5) Propers based on previous releases having improper dir names�� will not be tolerated.�� R6) PPF patches should be used for fixing releases with simple�� problems. REPACKS/PROPERS should be avoided if a PPF patch is�� possible.�� R7) Blurays with different audio or subtitle streams do not�� dupe eachother.�� �� �� - NOTES & SUGGESTiONS�� �� N1) Limitations�� The authoring possibilities for bluray aren't that advanced yet�� to make some rules explicitly mandatory at this stage. Knowledge�� and software are developing rapidly though and we are confident�� this will improve soon. The rules in question are related to�� editting the menu's, editing & disabling menu buttons and the�� complete removal of intro movies. Although we can't make hese rules�� mandatory at this stage, we strongly encourage the usage of them. �� �� N2) Applicability�� These rules apply from 2009-06-01 00:00:00 GMT (1243814400 unixtime).�� Released pre'd before this time are not allowed to be nuked based�� on these rules.�� �� N3) Minimum size�� We are aware of the fact that the minimum size is rather low. Again,�� this is because at this time target size calculation is still very dodgy.�� When tools and technique improve, the error margin of 4% will most likely�� be lowered to about 1-2%.�� �� N4) Nuking�� Nukes can be based on the code assigned to each rule.�� �� �� �� �� ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄�� ░▒▓▀▀▀██▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀██▄▄▄ ▄▄▄██▀▀▀▓▒░�� ░▒▓██████▄ ▄████▀▀ ▀▀████▄ ▄██████▓▒░�� ░▒▓███ ▀█▄▄█▀ ▀█▄▄█▀ ███▓▒░�� ░▒▓██▄ █▀ ▀█ ▄██▓▒░�� ░▒▓▀ ▀▓▒░ �� �� �� �� �� The BDR releasing standards originally written�� �� and organized by (listed alphabetically):�� �� CULTBDR .
