|
|
regarding VCDs and other mpeg releases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.) THEATRICAL RELEASES
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Releases are valid only if a particlar title can not be bought/rented
|
|
legally anywhere in the world.
|
|
|
|
- Made-for-TV movies and Direct-to-video titles are BANNED.
|
|
|
|
- Subtitled movies are banned. Foreign language films with english subs are
|
|
allowed only if approved by siteop.
|
|
|
|
- All releases must be in .cue/.bin format. (Raw .dat and .mpg are banned)
|
|
|
|
- All releases must be playable on standalone VCD/DVD players.
|
|
|
|
- Each release must include a .sfv and .nfo file. Filenames may not include
|
|
any NON-Dos characters or spaces. MS-DOS 8.3 filenames are recommended.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE: TFA-BUM1.RAR
|
|
WHAT CHARATERS NOT TO USE: (),[]|/\;:'{}"<>$#%!&+=^*
|
|
|
|
- File size of releases are limited to 15-20 Megabytes, not to exceed
|
|
20000000 bytes.
|
|
|
|
- The only accepted archive format is RAR. Compression is left up the
|
|
individual group/packager to decide.
|
|
|
|
- To determine quality without having to download the whole release, ALL
|
|
releases must include a 5-10 Megabyte preview clip in .mpg format and
|
|
should be put in a subdir called "Sample" for scripting purposes. The
|
|
sample name must be a new filename each time, the rar name for example:
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE: TFA-BUM1.RAR, the sample name will be TFA-BUM.MPG
|
|
|
|
- At all times, the quality of the VCD image determines whether it is a
|
|
viable release or not, however a Cam cannot be released after a Telesync
|
|
has been released, a Telesync cannot be released after a Screener has been
|
|
released , unless the quality of the screener is extremely poor and deemed
|
|
unacceptable. Workprints will be judged by the quality of the SAMPLE at all
|
|
times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Labels for VCD releases:
|
|
(from worst quality to best)
|
|
|
|
VCD types:
|
|
|
|
1. Cam: This catagory represents movies that were cammed in a
|
|
theater with a STEADY BASE such as a TRIPOD. The audio
|
|
of these movies were taken from the mic on the camera,
|
|
and is usually very hollow. The video can be with a
|
|
straight angle or slightly tilted.
|
|
HANDHELD CAMS ( shaky, crowd noise ...) ARE BANNED.
|
|
|
|
2. Telesync: This catagory represents movies that were cammed in a
|
|
theater with a steady base such as a tripod. The audio
|
|
of these movies are taken from some sort of an ALTERNATE
|
|
source. The video can be with a straight angle or slightly
|
|
tilted. If the sound is hollow and/or you can hear an
|
|
audience, it's a cam.
|
|
|
|
3. Workprint: This catagory represents movies that were taken usually from
|
|
VHS tape. If the source is as good as first generation VHS
|
|
demo tape with GOOD encoding, it should be labeled Screener.
|
|
All other home-made VCDs must be labeled Workprint. If you
|
|
know your copy is not complete, use this label. (missing
|
|
scenes, missing audio tracks, additional scenes, alternate
|
|
ending etc.)
|
|
|
|
4. Screener: Best quality. This catagory represents movies taken from
|
|
either DVD, Laserdisc, or tape. They may contain warnings,
|
|
B&W sections, TCR codes or NOT. Also includes Telecine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All releases must have a dirname in the right format describing the actual
|
|
quality of the release and type of VCD (DO NOT release Telesync as Screener)
|
|
Call CAMS what they are: CAM. Release it as Telesync when an audio cable has
|
|
been used to tape the movie. The dirnames may not include any NON-Dos
|
|
characters or spaces.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES: Moviename.TYPEOFVCD.Quality.Extras-RELEASEGROUP
|
|
|
|
Go.VCD.Screener.Widescreen-TFAiSO
|
|
Lick.Em.Dry.XXX.VCD-PEEPERS (since all porn releases are screeners or store
|
|
bought VCDs, you can leave quality out.)
|
|
|
|
Image area wider than 4:3 aspect ratio must be lebeled Widescreen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Releases of the same type are dupes. All mislabeled releases should be either
|
|
nuked or renamed correctly. When a better version of the same movie is
|
|
released, all previous releases should be nuked 0x to make space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sites themselves can decide what quality to allow and what not.
|
|
Same goes for porn, DVD rips etc. However, it is STRONGLY ADVISED to allow
|
|
all types of VCDs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.) OTHER RELEASES:
|
|
|
|
Releases such as: DVD rips, VHS rips, TV shows, Pay-Per-View specials,
|
|
Porn, Anime etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- They should be in separate dir(s) if possible, not in the same dir as
|
|
theatrical releases.
|
|
|
|
Example: /PORN, /TV
|
|
|
|
- It is totally up to siteops if they are going to to allow all or some of
|
|
them and should be clearly stated in site rules.
|
|
|
|
- DVD/VHS rips are allowed only if there was no SCREENER released
|
|
previously.
|
|
|
|
- All releases must be in either .mpg, .cue/.bin or .asf format. (.asf is
|
|
especially recommended for TV shows)
|
|
|
|
- Each release must include a .sfv and .nfo file for each release. Dir names
|
|
should follow the same guidelines as theatrical releases.
|
|
|
|
- File size of releases are limited to 15-20 Megabytes, not to exceed
|
|
20000000 bytes.
|
|
|
|
- The only accepted archive format is RAR. Compression is left up the
|
|
individual group/packager to decide.
|
|
|
|
- To determine quality without having to download the whole release, ALL
|
|
releases must include a 5-10 Megabyte preview clip in .mpg format and
|
|
should be put in a subdir called "Sample" for scripting purposes. The
|
|
sample name must be a new filename each time, i suggest the name of the
|
|
rars.</pre>
