<pre class="nfo">miniDVD Standards Are The Same As DVDR Standards.
|
|
Video:
|
|
. Re-encoding:
|
|
. CCE version 2.50+ or Canopus Procoder must be used in all
|
|
circumstances where transcoding (re-encoding) of the video
|
|
stream is required. Other encoding programs such as
|
|
TMPGenc are NOT allowed.
|
|
. Automated Programs that perform DVD9>DVD5 rips are
|
|
FORBIDDEN, e.g. InstanCopy, DVDXCopy, etc.
|
|
. Minimum average bitrate allowed is 3000 kbit/s
|
|
(2800 kbit/s for tv shows). If minimum average bitrate
|
|
cannot be achieved, a valid explanation is required in
|
|
the NFO.
|
|
. Quality Settings:
|
|
. CCE:
|
|
. No CBR. Multipass is to be enforced.
|
|
. The initial 1st pass that encodes the .vaf file
|
|
in CCE is NOT considered within the multipass set.
|
|
. The number of passes required for a movie is
|
|
determined by the length (runtime) of the movie."
|
|
. Movies below or equal to 100 minutes will
|
|
require 5 passes or more.
|
|
. Movies over 100 minutes will require 6 passes
|
|
or more.
|
|
. Canopus Procoder:
|
|
. No CBR. 2-pass VBR is to be enforced for all
|
|
bitrate scenarios.
|
|
. The quality settings will also be determined
|
|
by the length (runtime) of the movie.
|
|
. Movies below or equal to 100 minutes will
|
|
require the "High-Quality" setting.
|
|
. Movies over 100 minutes will require the
|
|
"Highest-Quality" setting.
|
|
Audio:
|
|
. Dolby Digital is considered the standard audio format and is
|
|
required in all releases that contain this audio format.
|
|
. DVDs that contain only PCM audio are allowed and should
|
|
be noted in the NFO.
|
|
. Downsampling of audio tracks, except audio commentary is
|
|
banned. No downsampling of any other tracks.
|
|
. 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 to 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 up to the ripper's
|
|
discretion.
|
|
. For non-English movies, the movie's original language audio
|
|
stream must be kept unless it is not contained in the retail.
|
|
In the circumstances that a reissue/new edition dvd contains
|
|
an original language audio stream, a re-release of the movie
|
|
is valid.
|
|
. For ALL English movies, the English audio stream MUST be kept.
|
|
. The inclusion of other audio streams will be based upon the
|
|
ripper's discretion, whether they are foreign or commentary.
|
|
|
|
Notes: DTS/SUPERBIT/DTS-ONLY are issues that cannot be ignored.
|
|
However, it is not up to us to decide whether they should
|
|
be allowed or not. Rather, it's up to the SITES that will
|
|
determine their own appropriate rules. However, those
|
|
groups that wish to release DTS, SUPERBIT and/or DTS-ONLY
|
|
should name their directory clearly with the appropriate
|
|
tags of DTS, SUPERBIT and/or DTS-ONLY.
|
|
Source:
|
|
. Releases of superior/remastered editions of previous released
|
|
DVDs are ALLOWED as they improve upon the initial release.
|
|
e.g. If a new mastered DVD contains a 5.1 stream compared
|
|
to an inferior stream in the previous release, the
|
|
release is considered valid.
|
|
. Mastered DVDs of: Director's Cut, Criterion, Unrated or any
|
|
editions with additional/extended scenes are not considered
|
|
dupes over existing mastered DVDs.
|
|
. The DVD to be ripped should also be the best available edition
|
|
on the market. Releases of inferior editions are NOT ALLOWED.
|
|
|
|
Authoring:
|
|
. Authoring in both Scenarist and DVD Maestro are allowed.
|
|
However, users of DVD Maestro need to be aware of the problem
|
|
which check that if the total bitrate exceeds
|
|
9800kbit/s. Rippers should be aware that the MAX bitrate is
|
|
9800kbit/s for both audio and video streams.
|
|
Subtitles:
|
|
. If English subtitles are present, they will be kept under ALL
|
|
circumstances.
|
|
. If the dvd contains no more than three subtitle streams, all
|
|
will be kept. If the dvd contains more than three subtitle
|
|
streams, it's ripper's discretion which subtitles should be
|
|
kept. Its advised to keep the most common used language
|
|
subtitles. It is recommended to keep them all (they don't take
|
|
up much space).
|
|
Menus:
|
|
. Menus MUST be included. In extreme cases where the retail does
|
|
not contain a menu, it must be mentioned in the NFO.
|
|
. The menu must be in English and not foreign, unless they
|
|
are aimed for non-English endusers.
|
|
. Removing useless links within the menu is optional. This is the
|
|
only extreme of menu authoring allowed. Such programs such as
|
|
MenuEdit are recommended.
|
|
. Menus on TV Show disk must be kept at all costs.
|
|
Extras:
|
|
. Extras are an added value but are not needed. Extras are
|
|
allowed to be transcoded with a minimum average bitrate of
|
|
1700kbit/s.
|
|
. A minimum of 5 passes for extras is required.
|
|

if it is a encoded vob.
|
