What's CAM, Workprint, Telesync, Telecine, Screener,DVDRip, Subbed?
(((CAM))) - This type of VCD was recorded by someone in a cinema with a camcorder and the audience can be heard! The picture quality is usually OK but the sound is mostly very bad and hard to make out speech.
(((TS))) (Telesync) - These are also recorded in a cinema but usually on an expensive camera and they should have a seperate audio source (so the audience cannot be heard), these are generally very good quality and highly watchable.
(((TC))) (Telecine) - Done a number of ways, all from taking directly from the reel. Ripped in either widescreen (letterbox) or in full-screen (pan and scan) with excellent audio and video.
(((SCR))) (Screener) - A Screener is usually recorded form a promotional video tape which is sent to censors and film critics etc.. The quality is usually as good as a commercial VCD, some times a copyright message appears on the screen.
(((WP))) (Work-Print) - Each frame of the film is copied from celluloid (or another source). The sound is usually perfect and the visual quality can vary. These are sometimes incomplete movies.
(((LD/DVDRip))) - Are ripped from DVD or Laserdisc versions of the film and the quality is as good as genuine.
Other info:
(((Subbed))) - They have sub-titles, sometimes only 1, that are real small. But others are real big and some movies have 2 or 3 subtitles on them, taking up large portions of the screen.
(((Watermarks))) - The little BD, A, or Z (among others) symbols on the movie. They are put there by the people who rip the movie.
