&#9474; &#9492;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;[ RELEASE RULES ]&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;&#9496; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Movie Length: &#9474;
&#9474; - Allowed sizes are 175MB, 350MB and multiples of 1 CD (700MB). &#9474;
&#9474; - The following formula will guide you to get the appropriate size: &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = VIDEO-FPS * VIDEO-RUNTIME(in mins) * 0.28 &#9474;
&#9474; Use the target-size value to index the MAXIMUM allowed size, examples: &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 25.000fps * 98min * 0.28 = 686, MAX size is 1 CD &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 23.976fps * 49min * 0.28 = 329, MAX size is 1/2 CD &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 18.000fps * 65min * 0.28 = 328, MAX size is 1/2 CD &#9474;
&#9474; VIDEO-RUNTIME is in minutes only, no fractions, and rounded up to the &#9474;
&#9474; next full minute, e.g. 104 min and 5 secs = put 105 min inside the &#9474;
&#9474; formula. The following table describes the MAXIMUM size allowed for &#9474;
&#9474; each runtime in minutes: &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; FPS &#9474; 175MB &#9474; 350MB &#9474; 700MB &#9474; 1400MB &#9474; 2100MB &#9474;
&#9474; 23.976 &#9474; -26 &#9474; 26:01-52 &#9474; 52:01-104 &#9474; 104:01-208 &#9474; 208:01-312 &#9474;
&#9474; 25.000 &#9474; -25 &#9474; 25:01-50 &#9474; 50:01-100 &#9474; 100:01-200 &#9474; 200:01-300 &#9474;
&#9474; 29.970 &#9474; -20 &#9474; 20:01-41 &#9474; 41:01-83 &#9474; 83:01-166 &#9474; 166:01-250 &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; - The above table indicates the MAXIMUM size allowed to encode at, but &#9474;
&#9474; it is ripper&#39;s discretion to use smaller values, e.g. 110 min PAL movie &#9474;
&#9474; can use AT MOST 1400MB but can also use lower sizes such as 700MB. &#9474;
&#9474; - If at the lowest resolution allowed and MP3 audio bitrate of 128 kbps &#9474;
&#9474; average I/P quant is above 4.5, releases may jump 1 size up (e.g. 2 CDs &#9474;
&#9474; may be used instead of 1). Such cases MUST provide proper proof and &#9474;
&#9474; explanation in the nfo. &#9474;
&#9474; - If the formula gives a value below 100MB, sizes smaller than 175MB are &#9474;
&#9474; allowed, at ripper&#39;s discretion. &#9474;
&#9474; - MAXIMUM CD media capacity value is 736966656 bytes = 719694 KB = 702 MB &#9474;
&#9474; - MINIMUM CD media capacity value is 723517440 bytes = 706560 KB = 690 MB &#9474;
&#9474; - When using multiple CD releases, releases MUST utilize the full &#9474;
&#9474; burnable media capacity for each CD used (each CD must conform to the &#9474;
&#9474; 690MB minimum). &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; TV Length: &#9474;
&#9474; - All Episodes &#60;RETAIL rips> are obligated to follow these rules. &#9474;
&#9474; - Allowed sizes in MB are 175, 233, 350 and multiples of 700 (an extra &#9474;
&#9474; OPTIONAL size is 550MB, see below). &#9474;
&#9474; - Use the same target-size formula listed above to determine appropriate &#9474;
&#9474; sizing. Some examples are: &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 25.000fps * 20min * 0.28 = 140, MAX size is 175 MB &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 23.976fps * 60min * 0.28 = 403, MAX size is 700 MB &#9474;
&#9474; target-size = 29.970fps * 25min * 0.28 = 210, MAX size is 233 MB &#9474;
&#9474; * VIDEO-RUNTIME is in minutes only, no fractions, and rounded up to &#9474;
&#9474; the next full minute, e.g. 41 min and 5 secs = put 42 min inside the &#9474;
&#9474; formula. &#9474;
&#9474; - 550MB may be used at ripper&#39;s discretion when target-size is above &#9474;
&#9474; 260MB. &#9474;
&#9474; - If the formula gives a value below 100MB, sizes smaller than 175MB are &#9474;
&#9474; allowed, at ripper&#39;s discretion. It is also ripper&#39;s discretion to use &#9474;
&#9474; smaller sizes than those targeted by the formula for each specific &#9474;
&#9474; runtime and framerate (e.g. a release that should be 350MB according to &#9474;
&#9474; the formula may also be released at 233MB). &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; AUDIO: &#9474;
&#9474; - MUST be VBR MP3 or Studio AC3. &#9474;
&#9474; - ABR is considered a VBR technique. &#9474;
&#9474; - MUST be STEREO for STEREO sources, MONO for MONO sources &#9474;
&#9474; (Any audio track with identical channels is considered a MONO source). &#9474;
&#9474; - MP3 tracks must keep the original frequency as it was on the source&#39;s &#9474;
&#9474; audio: e.g. 48khz for 48khz and 44.1khz for 44.1khz. &#9474;
&#9474; - Mono or Dual Mono (1+1) AC3 is forbidden; use mono MP3. &#9474;
&#9474; - MP3 audio must be normalized. Stereo sources must use stereo or &#9474;
&#9474; joint-stereo encoding mode. Mono sources must use mono encoding mode; &#9474;
&#9474; dual-mono is forbidden. &#9474;
&#9474; - Encoding or re-encoding audio to AC3 is strictly forbidden, except in &#9474;
&#9474; in the case of HD retail source (see Source related notes). &#9474;
&#9474; - Use of AC3 is at the ripper&#39;s discretion, but should be used wisely. &#9474;
&#9474; Choice of AC3 or MP3 is not a technical flaw except as otherwise noted. &#9474;
&#9474; - Multi-language audio tracks are FORBIDDEN! (Use INTERNAL) &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; VIDEO: &#9474;
&#9474; - Keyframe: &#9474;
&#9474; MUST be &#60;=20 seconds and MUST be inserted according to scene changes &#9474;
&#9474; and framesizes as determined by the codec or encoding application. &#9474;
&#9474; - Group watermarks of any kind on the video are forbidden. &#9474;
&#9474; - English retail releases may not contain foreign language text overlays &#9474;
&#9474; from localized versions. &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Framerate: &#9474;
&#9474; - MUST be as close to original source framerate as possible. &#9474;
&#9474; - In some cases PAL movies need to be IVTC&#39;d (e.g. to 24fps). Therefore &#9474;
&#9474; using a PAL source is not an excuse for lack of IVTC. &#9474;
&#9474; - Hybrid sources are left at ripper&#39;s discretion if to IVTC or not. &#9474;
&#9474; Ripper should mention and provide proof to any claim for ITVC or lack &#9474;
&#9474; thereof. &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Codec: &#9474;
&#9474; - MUST BE XviD (all DivX codecs are banned). &#9474;
&#9474; - MUST use 2 pass technique during encoding. &#9474;
&#9474; - No dupes based on codec type, use INTERNAL! &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Resolution and Aspect Ratio: &#9474;
&#9474; - Width: 576 - 640 pixels for movies with an AR of 1.70-3.00 &#9474;
&#9474; 512 - 640 pixels for movies with an AR of 1.00-1.69 &#9474;
&#9474; - Width and Height must be multiples of 16. &#9474;
&#9474; - Cropping is required such that black borders are cropped to their &#9474;
&#9474; maximum. In the case that the video presents changing ARs, the video &#9474;
&#9474; must be cropped such that no frame is overcropped. &#9474;
&#9474; * Over- or undercropping by more than 1 pixel is considered a technical &#9474;
&#9474; flaw, although it is preferable to crop the 1 pixel out. &#9474;
&#9474; - Video encodes must be within 4% of the original aspect ratio. &#9474;
&#9474; Calculating AR % error: (Original AR - Release AR)/Original AR x 100 &#9474;
&#9474; - Non-retail video sources may not have the usual retail aspect ratio &#9474;
&#9474; due to different processing. All releases should be based on the actual &#9474;
&#9474; source AR, not on retail AR listed on IMDB or other sources. &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Subtitles: &#9474;
&#9474; - OPTIONAL (ONLY if all other requirements have been met). &#9474;
&#9474; - Subtitles MUST be packed in a RAR file with the most compression &#9474;
&#9474; available. This RAR file shall be placed in a directory named &#39;Subs&#39; &#9474;
&#9474; along with an SFV file containing standard checksum information for &#9474;
&#9474; that RAR. The subtitles must not be packaged in the main RARs for the &#9474;
&#9474; release and the RAR file containing the subtitles must not be listed in &#9474;
&#9474; main SFV for the release. &#9474;
&#9474; - Vobsub packs must have the .sub file packed with the MOST compression: &#9474;
&#9474; subs.rar = [ &#60;avi-name>.idx + &#60;avi-name>.rar = (&#60;avi-name>.sub) ] &#9474;
&#9474; - Burned subtitles are only permissible when present in the source. If &#9474;
&#9474; the subtitles overlay both active video and matting (black bars), &#9474;
&#9474; cropping to the bottom of the subtitles is permissible, and an equal &#9474;
&#9474; amount of matting shall be left at the top. If the burned subtitles &#9474;
&#9474; overlay only matting, they must be OCR&#39;ed and cropped out. &#9474;
&#9474; - English subs on non-English releases MUST fit in the standard size &#9474;
&#9474; with the rest of the release. All other subs are considered optional &#9474;
&#9474; and are not required to fit in the standard release size. &#9474;
&#9474; - English subs on non-English releases must be synced with the video. &#9474;
&#9474; - Foreign releases (non-English spoken) lacking English subtitles MUST be &#9474;
&#9474; tagged with the spoken language. Releases with English subtitles MUST &#9474;
&#9474; NOT be tagged with the spoken language. A release containing English &#9474;
&#9474; subtitles after a foreign-tagged release is not considered a dupe, &#9474;
&#9474; regardless of whether or not the foreign-tagged release has English &#9474;
&#9474; subs. &#9474;
&#9474; - Subtitles on multiple-CD releases must be split. Inclusion of non-split &#9474;
&#9474; subtitles in addition to the split subtitles is encouraged. &#9474;
&#9474; - Custom subtitles are not allowed on retail sources. They may be used &#9474;
&#9474; only with non-retail sources. Propers for incorrect or missing dialogue &#9474;
&#9474; on custom subtitles are not allowed; release a subpack! &#9474;
&#9474; - Multi-language subtitles cannot be used as a basis for a dupe. &#9474;
&#9474; - English subbed (with original spoken language) may follow a dubbed &#9474;
&#9474; release (in any language); use SUBBED tag. &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; &#9474;
&#9474; Packaging: &#9474;
&#9474; - All releases MUST be AVI. &#9474;
&#9474; - Must be packed with RAR and broken into 15 or 20 MB volumes. &#9474;
&#9474; Each AVI for a multiple-CD release must be packaged into separate RAR &#9474;
&#9474; volumes. &#9474;
&#9474; - Filenames (even subpack rar file) MUST be unique (to avoid dupe). &#9474;
&#9474; - Compression is not allowed. &#9474;
&#9474; - Recovery and MD5 record are recommended. &#9474;
&#9474; - Must have an SFV included for each CD. &#9474;
&#9474; - Must have an NFO. &#9474;
&#9474; - NFO SHOULD INCLUDE: &#9474;

&#9474; allowed (e.g. THEATRICAL), and MUST be mentioned in the dirname. &#9474;
&#9474; - Remastered movies after the original have been released are allowed &#9474;
&#9474; only if one of the releases is BLACK AND WHITE and the other is colour. &#9474;

&#9474; (e.g. BDRip, HDDVDRip). &#9474;
&#9474; - When using AC3 on a rip from HD retail source, re-encoding DTS, LPCM, &#9474;
&#9474; TrueHD, DTS-HD and 640kbit/s AC3 to 448kbit/s AC3 is mandatory. &#9474;
&#9474; - Re-encoding material of any transcoded source is strictly forbidden! &#9474;
&#9474; - HD retail rip released after 1080p/720p needs source proof (a raw m2ts &#9474;
&#9474; sample including all audio/subtitles tracks) in sample dir. &#9474;
&#9474; - R5 is not considered retail. &#9474;
&#9474; - Non-studio audio must be tagged accordingly, e.g. LINE audio. &#9474;
