replies: text: PAL: "is an analogue television colour encoding system used in broadcast television systems in many countries. Other common analogue television systems are NTSC and SECAM.". DVR: Digital video recorder. It's a DVR recording from an analogue PAL source. --Ondertitel (talk) 09:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Then, if the torrent info says: "Source: PAL DVDR + AC3 STUDIO resynced audio (-70ms)", then it means it was shot from the PAL television broadcast? That does not seem very likely for a movie which has just been released in cinemas... Maybe there are other ways to understand these acronyms? Info example here -- Nazar (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: DVR != DVDR. Your example is a (non retail) PAL DVDR screener. It has nothing to do with television broadcasts. --Ondertitel (talk) 14:16, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I think I nearly got it now :) So, in the example above you say it's a DVDR Screener distributed in a region called the PAL region (just like R5 region, e.g.) That makes some sense. But why does a DVDR screener need a "STUDIO resynced audio"? Doesn't it include a digital quality audio track by default? -- Nazar (talk) 16:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume the resync is because the original source was a bit out of sync (-70ms).  The STUDIO audio is probably in comparison to R5, which sometimes doesn't include English retail audio. --Ondertitel (talk) 18:53, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Also, a PAL region DVDR is not encoded in PAL system, is it? Because PAL system is only for analogue broadcasting, not for digital releases of movies? This naming is a bit confusing, I must say... -- Nazar (talk) 16:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone might want to add information about Region C (RC) releases. They are the BluRay equivalent of an R5 DVD. Also often refered to as a "Russian Copy".

thread_title:  RC (BluRay) 

message: In the scene/p2p, BRRips are re-encodes of previous rips. BDRips are encodes from a source. BRRips usually have the worst quality for a pirated blu-ray release due to the fact that the release isn't actually taken from a retail source. No respectable internal/scene group uploads rerips.
Also, screeners really aren't that common. Just a thought.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.207.84 (talk) 18:41, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
