*SCREENERS*
*TELESYNC*

what are these?


  CAM:
  Is a handheld camera in crowded theatre.
  Easily recognised by wery bad quality shaky picture you can hear
  lotsa talk and laughing in the background, basicly this shit i NOT
  worth watching.

  TELESYNC:
  Well just a better version of a cam or i might say much
  better. Steady base not as much or basicly none background talk.
  The quality is much better than a cam but not perfect, the picture
  may not be entirely straight not zoomed to the exact middle of the
  screen so you might miss 2inches from the left side etc.
  Basicly every thing you can expect from a tripod mounted cam in a
  theatre.
  Can be worth watching if its not a film you waited ages for.
  but remember some telesyncs are better than other.

  WORKPRINT:
  A very early release of a movie, copyed from vhs into vcd.
  Usualy containing timecodes and other marks that any non finished
  movie is containing.

  SCREENERS:
  State of the art movie, can even be widescrean.
  Top quality sound and video.
  These are usualy made from distributers demo tapes,
  often containing "1-800-NO-COPIES" or any other text.

What does "PRE" mean, I know it isn't in release labels, but I have heard something like "RZR PRE'S TO FBI TOPSITES."  So, what does that mean?

heh, i believe i said that :)

pre = when a release is first let out to a site(s) ... it's uploaded to a private folder, and then let out into a more public folder as a whole, so everyone gets a fair shot at it, or they can pre it at a certain time, etc.

ginoland, there's a shitload of them.

what is superbit

Yes this was posted over a year ago, but I feel the need to answer :)

Superbit is a company that takes regular DVDs and re-releases them with the highest image/audio quality possible. Often special features are sacrificed to fit the big transfer, however.
