--------======== The Windows Media Video Releasing Standards 2009 for Blu-Ray and HDDVD ========--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Introduction:
|
|
|
|
WMV is equal in quality to x264. Many people feel as if WMV-HD is redundant because of
|
|
the x264 scene. This simply is not true because of the compatibility of WMV-HD. It can be
|
|
played on the X360 and HTPC's; x264 is restricted to HTPC's. The only reason many people are
|
|
against WMV-HD is because it's Microsoft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION I: Video
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Video size is determined by Minimum Bitrates
|
|
|
|
101: Source must be HDDVD or Blu-Ray.
|
|
No re-encoding of any other source is allowed, i.e. x264!
|
|
102: DVD5 720p must have a minimum bitrate of 4000 kbps.
|
|
103: 1080p must have a minimum bitrate of 9000 kbps, and must be DVD9 or DVD9+5.
|
|
104: Peak bitrate limits must be constrained to 14,500 kbps.
|
|
105: If the bitrate is lower than 4000kbps for 720p DVD5, DVD9 720p is required.
|
|
106: Resolution must be no less then 720p and NO GREATER then 1080
|
|
If source is 1088, it must be cropped to 1080 due to known 360 problem with 1088 resolution.
|
|
107: Custom resolution is allowed, either OAR or MOD 16 is acceptable.
|
|
108: Video codec MUST be Windows Media 9 Advanced Profile (VC-1).
|
|
109: All releases must be encoded with 2-pass VBR.
|
|
110: Whether 720p or 1080p is used is solely at the ripper's discretion.
|
|
However, minimum bitrates must be followed as outlined in rules 102 & 103.
|
|
111: Discs must be fully used when encoding. Thus,
|
|
DVD5 must be no less than 4.0 gb
|
|
DVD9 must be no less than 7.8 gb
|
|
DVD9+DVD5 must be no less than 12.1 gb
|
|
112: Intro and credits are to be kept intact; removing them is grounds for a proper.
|
|
113: Resolution dupe rules are as follows:
|
|
720p dupes 1080p
|
|
1080p does not dupe 720p
|
|
114: Intros and watermarks are NOT allowed.
|
|
|
|
TV Episodes
|
|
|
|
150: 720p - 1 hour episodes - Minimum size 1.1 gb
|
|
151: 720p - 30 minute episodes - Minimum size 750 mb
|
|
152: 1080p - 1 hour episodes - Minimum size 2.0 gb
|
|
153: 1080p - 30 minute episodes - Minimum size 1.3 gb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION II: Audio
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
201: Audio must be a minimum of 640 kbps WMA3 Pro 5.1.
|
|
The only excpetion is if the source kbps is lower than 640 kbps.
|
|
202: No Stereo to 5.1 up mixing is allowed, source must be 5.1 with correct channels mapped.
|
|
The only exception is if the source contains only 2.0 or mono.
|
|
203: Must be 24bit or 16bit audio unless source is less.
|
|
204: English audio is to be use if it's the native language on the disc.
|
|
205: If English is not the native audio on the disc do A or B and always C:
|
|
A: Add hardcoded English subs and native audio.
|
|
B: Use dubbed English audio track.
|
|
C: Follow directory naming rule 408.
|
|
206: Audio can be either CBR or VBR and 1 Pass is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION III: Subtitles
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
301: Subtitles are NOT required.
|
|
302: English subtitles are suggested for titles that contain non-English audio segments when
|
|
English is the primary audio language.

|
|

|
401: WMV must be in RAR.
|
|
402: Recovery record must be used when RARing.
|
|
403: SFV, NFO, and Sample are required for all releases.
|
|
404: Sample must be at least 60 seconds in duration.
|
|
405: NFO MUST state the following information:
|
|
VIDEO bitrate
|
|
AUDIO bitrate
|
|
VIDEO resolution
|
|
AUDIO language
|
|
If Subs are HARDCODED.
|
|
406: RAR filesizes
|
|
DVD5 - 50 mb or 50,000,000 bytes
|
|
DVD9 - 100 mb or 100,000,000 bytes
|
|
DVD9+5 - 150 mb or 150,000,000 bytes
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION V: NUKES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
501: These rules govern the WMV-HD section, NO OTHER RULES APPLY!
|
|
This means all nukes based on any other rules, implied or written, are INVALID NUKES and are
|
|
UNACCEPTABLE. All groups releasing WMV-HD have agreed to and signed this rule set. As such,
|
|
we are the only ones who will develop, implement, and mandate the rules governing the WMV-HD
|
|
section.
|
|
502: These new rules do not apply to any release pre'd prior to this rule set. Any and all nukes are
|
|
INVALID if these rules are applied to releases that came out prior to this rule set.
|
|
503: If a group wants to redo a title that was done before the WMVS2k9 rules were released, it must be
|
|
labeled INTERNAL.
|
|
504: Propers are valid if rule 405 is not strictly adhered to.
|
|
505: HDDVD and Blu-Ray sources dupe each other.
|
|
INTERNAL tag is required if one is already released.
|
|
506: Propers or nukes are NOT VALID if 302 or 409 are not followed as these are only suggestions
|
|
and NOT RULES.
|
|
507: An EXACT timecode must be specified and screen shot of issue is required in order to nuke a
|
|
release for video "glitches" or other picture qualtiy problems. Without a the EXACT timecode and
|
|
screenshot, any nuke for picture quailty is INVALID.
|
|
508: An EXACT timecode is required to nuke a release for audio problems such as out-of-sync.
