Pirated movie release types

A movie is usually released in several formats and different versions due to the fact that the primary sources used by a group for a particular movie may vary.
Examples of some those types are CAM, DVDRIP, PDVDRIP, TS, DVDSCR, R5, TS etc.

Here is a list of commonly used types.


Type: Cam
Label: CAM
Quality issues make this an unpopular format.A copy made in a cinema using a camcorder, possibly mounted on a tripod. The sound source is the camera microphone. Cam rips can quickly appear online after the first preview or premiere of the film.

Type: Telesync
Label: "TS", "TELESYNC", "PDVD"
Contrary to popular belief, the video quality of a TS is not necessarily better than a cam. The term Telesync doesn't indicate better video quality but better audio quality. The CAM source is then synchronized with a secondary audio recording, either done with a professional microphone in an empty cinema, fed directly from the cinema's sound system, or captured from an FM radio transmission intended for hearing-impaired customers. Often, a "Cam" is mislabeled as a telesync. PDVD, also known as Pre-DVD, is a release type found mostly in India and/or for Indian movies, with Bollywood movies being the majority. They are often mistaken for being DVD rips, due to the name.

Type: Workpoint
Label: "WP", "WORKPRINT"
A copy made from an unfinished version of a film produced by the studio. Typically a workprint has missing effects and overlays, and often differ from its theatrical release.

Type: Screener
Label: "SCR", "SCREENER", "DVDSCR", "DVD-SCREENER", "VHS-SCREENER"
These are early DVD or VHS releases of the theatrical version of a film, typically sent to movie reviewers, Academy members, and executives for review purposes.

Type: R5
Lebel: "R5"
The R5 Line is a retail DVD from region 5. Region 5 consists of Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia.

Type: Telecine
Label: "TC", "TELECINE"
A copy captured from a film print using a machine that transfers the movie from its analog reel to digital format. These were rare because telecine machines for making these prints were very costly and very large, however, recently they have become much more common. Telecine has basically the same quality as DVD, since the technique is same as digitizing the actual film to DVD.

Type: BD/BR Rip
Label: BDRip or BRRip
Similar to DVD Rip, only the source is a Bluray disc

Type: DVD Rip
Label: "DVDRip"
A final retail version of a film, typically released before it is available outside its originating region. Often after one "release group" releases a high-quality DVD-Rip, the "race" to release that film will stop. Because of their high quality, DVD-Rips generally replace any earlier copies that may already have been circulating.


Type: DVDR
Label: "DVDR"
A final retail version of a film in DVD format. Usually a complete copy from the original DVD and having same size.
