What is this quality - Camrip Proper, TC, DVDScr, DVDRip? What can I expect when I purchase a movie as Camrip Proper?

Long gone are the times when in order to pass the evening watching the movie, you had to run to the video rental. Today, on the Internet there are enough video materials for every taste, which you can download to your computer in just a few minutes.

But in addition to the title and a brief annotation of the film, you will necessarily see a number of obscure letters of the type - "camrip proper, ts, dvdscr" and the like. What are these codes for the initiates? After reading this article, you will join the ranks of those who can extract from such abbreviations quite specific and useful information.

What is meant by the verb "ripping"

Ripping is the transliteration of the English word, which means "open." At its core, this action involves decrypting or even hacking the information flow and then re-encoding it.

This can be visualized in the following way: suppose you know the Morse code. Sitting in your room, you receive a light signal of a certain content from the window of a neighboring house. What can be done with the information received? You can write a pen on a sheet of paper, voice, draw or tap on the wall with the same Morse code. Thus, you will recode the information in a convenient format for yourself.

Something similar happens when ripping. And that's why practically in every abbreviation, which we will consider, there will be letters "rip". This means that the information has been transcoded.

What is the conversion for?

Why do we need to re-encode the movie? In the vast majority of cases, this is done in order to reduce the file size. Thanks to compression, you can save a lot of computer memory. In addition, before transcoding files can be opened in a limited number of programs, and when ripping by default, they are converted into public formats.

CAMRip PROPER - what kind of quality?

Tracks with this designation are shot directly from the place in the cinema. Both the image and the sound are recorded on the camcorder by the viewer. CAMRip PROPER is considered the least qualitative record. The sound is often illegible, the image loses most of the colors, and the extraneous noise in the form of heads moving around the auditorium and the smoky snoring sound somewhere on the next row is by no means a rarity.

Who needs movies as CAMRip PROPER? Most often impatient fans who agree to tolerate all these disgraces, but to find out what is so good about another widely advertised blockbuster.

And if you look at the very essence of the notation indicated for the evaluation of downloaded movies, it reminds of a kind of warning - "Camrip proper", that they do not answer for the quality. In the people such permission is called a "screen".

Is there an improvement?

On the Internet, you can find explanations that the CAMRip PROPER is not just a "screen". On the one hand, it really is. The prefix "proper" for any release indicates an improvement in the quality of this product compared to the source.

But what does this practically mean? Seeing on the Internet lined the track of the new film as CAMRip and making sure that the person who shot it kept the camera on his outstretched hand, and he had to adjust the focus periodically, another video piracy of our time goes hunting.

He takes a good video camera, a small tripod and goes to the nearest movie theater. Comfortably located in the depths of the auditorium, this undoubtedly better equipped technically representative of the fighters for free viewing of movies takes up the creation of a pirated track, in which the quality of CAMRip PROPER will be.

Arriving home and putting the fruits of his work on the Internet, he rightfully adds the designation "proper" to the technical description of the release. That's what CAMRip PROPER really is. But as you know, the presence of a tripod does not affect either the sneezing of neighboring moviegoers, or the walking late for the beginning of the session of people in front of the camera.

What is TS

But the quality with the designation "TS" is indeed somewhat better than CAMRip, although it is also removed from the screen in the cinema. The trick is that this shooting is conducted in an empty room by a professional movie camera installed directly in the projection booth.

Sound on the video track is not superimposed on the built-in microphones in the camcorder, but is transferred in digital format from the audio track of the original recording. Due to this, the sound in records marked "TS" is incomparably better than that of CAMRip.

Pirates in the law

In our time, any film that should soon be released on the screens has its own promo version. These copies are intended for people who are closely associated with the world of the film industry. For example, they always receive selected film critics.
So, these promo-versions are copied and fall into the Internet with the designation dvdscr. This video is of good quality, with pure sound and image. But to prevent their distribution, publishers provide such records with a lot of subtitles, in which it is warned that this version is not intended for distribution and copying. In addition, while watching a movie in the most unexpected places, color may disappear. This is done intentionally, to prevent unauthorized reproduction of copies.

Good quality in free access

When the period of the premiere shows is over, and the movie appears on sale on DVDs, these records are immediately subjected to ripping. Take the original disc with the movie and shrink to the desired size. As a rule, a popular media container with the extension "avi" is used. That's what dvdrip is - the most common abbreviation on the releases. The size of this rip is about 1.4 gigabytes.

The quality of the DVDRip is consistently high. Disadvantage can be considered unless some compression of the picture. Usually DVDRip contains a frame size of 720x40. But if you are not going to watch this recording on a screen the size of a third of the wall, the difference is unlikely to be felt.

Attraction of digital television

Still quite often you can see the designation HDTVRip. It means that the original source of video and audio tracks is high-quality digital television (HD - high definition, TV - TV).

These records are obtained by intercepting the flow of information transmitted by the digital television channel. They are distinguished by good picture clarity (when encoding in HDTVRip the frame compression is not performed) and excellent sound. The only drawback is the presence on the record of the TV channel logo from which the source was taken.

World Wide Web Resources

Now broadcasts of all kinds of programs and videos are carried out not only by television companies, but also directly on the Internet. These broadcasts are recorded, processed and submitted for download with the WEB-DLRip designation. Such records are simply not bad. They have a great picture and a wonderful sound. There are no side effects in the form of inscriptions.

Blu-ray technology

But there is no limit to perfection. Whatever the different format of WEB-DLRip, there is a release that has even higher quality. This is BDRip. Its name stands for a record made from a Blu-ray disc.

Blu-ray technology at the moment is the most advanced technology for creating a high-density video stream. The very fact that a conventional Blu-ray disc has a size of 25 gigabytes, already speaks volumes. But the standard movie as a Blu-ray, as a rule, is recorded on a two-layer disc, the capacity of which is 50 gigabytes.

Ripping Blu-ray-disc allows you to create a high-quality release, which "weighs" five times less than the source code. And thanks to this, BDRip leads the race for the best quality distribution.

Cases of days long past

However, against the backdrop of all these sparkling high-quality records peacefully there is another kind, which will not be mentioned simply wrong. This is VHSRip. The image on it is often gray and unprepossessing. It is often accompanied by noise on the screen and not always a good sound. However, these records not only do not disappear, but continue to spread over the Internet.

What is the secret? These are records that originally existed only on VHS tapes and have not previously been digitized in good quality. Most often they contain records of television series, which were broadcast in the 80's and 90's.

Then he takes his nostalgia. And the viewer agrees resignedly to ripple on the screen in order to re-live with the heroes of Santa Barbara their ups and downs, meetings and partings. This American series could become a symbol of the era in the countries of the post-Soviet space. And he is able to awaken childhood memories along with old, still black and white fairy tales about Brother Ivanushka and Sister Alyonushka.

For these reasons, recordings that have been modestly marked with the letters VHSRip will exist for more than one year.
