So thinking of downloading a movie??

Its illegal and i don't recommend it but if you do choose to ignore it then here are a bunch of explanations about prints and quality for newbies.

Types of prints -

CAM - Camera print, Shot in a theater with people standing up , laughing and clapping all in it. Dont download

TeleSynch - A telesynch is a cam print that has been synched with different audios from other files and applied with a couple of filters for increasing brightness, colors , contrast etc. Download only is u really really want to watch a particular movie.

R5- A R5 is a print with excellent video and usually not so good audio which have been taken together from different sources and combined together.

DVDScr - A screener is a DVD that is given to few people(in Hollywood) to check out a new movie. Its excellent print but watermarked. At times it can be as good as a DVDrip or BRrip

DVDRip - A movie ripped and encoded from a DVD. Excellent print and download without hesitation

BRrip - A bluray rip is the holy grail of awesome movie quality and downloading. Must Download.

Always check for comments and Audio/Video(A/V) ratings. Usually anything above a 7 is good

Also if a DVDrip is out too early then its probably a fake. Check the sample before downloading
