| Torrent abbreviations explained I am posting it to help members decipher the tags included in torrent titles and types, These tags are mostly for TV Episode and also apply on movie types. Members can easily understand the meaning of a Tag standing in torrent's title.  Episode Types (Lead Types Posted With VALID Types) 1080i HDTV: 1080i is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 stands for 1080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter i stands for interlaced or non-progressive scan. 1080i is considered to be an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or about 2.07 million pixels, and a field resolution of 1920 × 1080 / 2 (because it's interlaced) or about 1.04 million pixels. The field rate (not the frame rate) in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter i. The two field rates in common use are 50 and 60 Hz, with the former (1080i50) generally being used in traditional PAL and SECAM countries (Europe, Australia, much of Asia, Africa), the latter (1080i60) in traditional NTSC countries (e.g. United States, Canada and Japan). Both variants can be transported by both major digital television formats, ATSC and DVB. 1080p HDDVD/1080p HDTV/1080p WEBRiP/1080p Blu-ray (Depending On Source): 1080p: 1080p is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 dots across and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or over two million pixels. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (such as 1080p30, meaning 30 frames per second). 720p HDDVD/720p HDTV/720p WEBRiP/720p Blu-ray (Depending On Source): 720p: The number 720 stands for 720 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 720p is considered to be an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1280 dots across and a frame resolution of 1280 × 720 or about 0.92 million pixels. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (such as 720p30, meaning 30 frames per second). BDRiP: Blu-ray Disc Rip. Used for when a rip is from Blu-ray Disc source but encoded into resolutions less than 720p. Blu-Ray: Used as an episode/movie type when a rip is from a Blu-ray source AND encoded in 720p or 1080p. WEBRip: This is a file ripped from a DRM-free streaming service, such as Hulu, CrunchyRoll or WWE Network. The quality is comparable to WEB-DL, but bitrates are lower to save on streaming bandwidth. The file will be extracted from the RTMP protocol and losslessly remuxed from a MP4 or FLV container to MKV. WEB-DL: WEB Cap. Common, WEB-DL is preferred. This is a rip created by capturing video from a DRM-enabled streaming service, such as Amazon Instant or Netflix. Quality can range from mediocre (comparable with low quality XVID encodes) to excellent (comparable with high quality BR encodes). DSR: Digital stream rip. - 480i576i576p shall be tagged DSR when horizontal resolution is less than 704px and captured 100% digitally. All sources listed must be 100% digital. S-Video, composite, or RF from a digital receiver to a tuner card is analog. Valid DSR, PDTV, and HDTV sources will be received via a digital connection such as USB, Firewire, DVI-D, HDMI, or Ethernet from a receiver, or using an ATSC, QAM, or DVB tuner. DVB: Digital Video Broadcast. We use this as season source for DSR, PDTV, DVB, and HDTV. Also used a vague episode type by some international communities. Very rarely will this be a valid episode type for an English rip. We at TVU strongly discourage the use of DVB as an episode type on anything EVER. DVB-T: TNT, DVB-T, DTT, TDT, etc. No longer used. These will be tagged as DVB Episode Type and source. We at TVU encourage the use of clear Episode Type tags that indicate how files are captured. Not just their vague source type that can vary greatly in quality. DVD-R: DVD Recordable. Used to indicate FULL disc rips that are then burnt to a blank DVD for playing in stand alone DVD players. DVDRip: Used as an Episode Type to indicate that the file in question was ripped and converted from a DVD. DVDRips are released in SVCD and DivX/XviD. DVDScr: DVD SCREENER. No longer Used Please use DVDRip With the Scrn addition type. DVTV: No longer used. Please for DVTV source use DVD. And for DVTV episode types please use DVDRip with LD and an additional episode type. HDDVD: Used as an episode type when a rip is from a HDDVD source AND encoded in 720p or 1080p. HDDVDRip: Used for when a rip is from HDDVD source but encoded into resolutions less than 720p. HDTV: Used as Episode Type for digital recording from a source stream of either 1080i or 720p at a bitrate of 19,39mbps or higher. -The specific resolution of releases can vary depending upon the release group: LOL HDTV releases usually have a resolution of 624 x 352 with an aspect ratio of 1.77:1. FQM HDTV releases usually have a resolution of 608 x 336 with an aspect ratio of 1.80:1. HR HDTV: HRHD (High Resolution High-Definition) (also HR, HRHDTV, or HR-HDTV) is an acronym, often seen as part of the filename of TV shows shared on the Internet. -The specific resolution of releases can vary depending upon the release group: CTU HR HDTV releases usually have a resolution of 960 x 528 with an aspect ratio of 1.81:1. NBS HR HDTV releases usually have a resolution of 960 x 544 with an aspect ratio of 1.76:1. It refers to a standard of encoding video, meaning that the video signal was ripped directly from a HDTV broadcast, then down-sampled to approximately 960x540, and encoded to XviD. While the horizontal resolution of 960 remains constant the vertical resolution can fluctuate up to 5% to provide clean cropping. A HRHD encoding for a 40-55 minute TV show should be approximately 700MB. It contains the original AC3 sound, which is often 5.1 channels, instead of the re-encoded MP3 stream found in 350MB releases. HR PDTV: High Resolution Pure Digital Television. Pure digital capturing process. HR PDTV allowed for shows airing on an HD channel but that do not air in HDTV - 4:3 resolution is 720x544, 16:9 resolution is 960x544. Sometimes larger. PDTV: Pure Digital Television. 100% digital source and capture process. 480i576i576p shall be tagged PDTV when horizontal resolution is greater than or equal to 704px. All sources listed must be 100% digital. S-Video, composite, or RF from a digital receiver to a tuner card is analog. Valid DSR, PDTV, and HDTV sources will be received via a digital connection such as USB, Firewire, DVI-D, HDMI, or Ethernet from a receiver, or using an ATSC, QAM, or DVB tuner. PPVRips: PPVRips are Pay-Per-View videos which have been recorded from Hotel rooms. PPVRip is a Pay-Per-View video source. PPVRips are said to have come from Pay-Per-View sources, but what is interesting is that all these releases are brand new movies which have not yet been released to Screener or DVD but are available to view by Hotel customers. SATRiP: No longer used. Please tag rips according to how they were captured. SDTV: No Longer Used. Any rip with an analogue step in capture process or source shall be marked as TV source with a blank episode type. VHSRiP: Video Home System Rip. Used on TVU when the file in question has been ripped from a VHS Cassette Tape. Usually they are very low quality and ripped as a last resort to save/create a digital backup the file in question. WEBRiP: Used to indicate files either directly grabbed or converted from online sources. Additional Types: FiXED: Fixed by someone other then the ripper before released. iNTERNAL: A release is done internal when it's released for a limited amount of people. Nowadays it's mostly used when a release is already done by another group. By adding the internal tag, the release won't be nuked. LD: LD stands for Line Dubbed. This is used when a video stream is muxed with an outside audio stream from a variety of other sources. LD is replacing DVTV with DVDRip WITH an additional type of LD and it is also replacing the term REMiX. PREAiR: Is and avanced copy of the finished episodes. Unlike a SCREENER these will not have watermarks, time codes and other common SCREENER defects. PROPER: A proper is released when there is something wrong with a release, and another groups releases it but then without the bug/problem. REAL: Used when a group releases a mislabeled version and has to be replaced with a REAL version. REPACK: If a group releases a bad rip, they will release a REPACK which will fix the problems. It's similar to proper but then done by the same group. Scrn: Screener. A pre VHS tape or DVD, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. Mostly DVDs these days. UNCUT: This tag indicates that there is addition footage included that was not part of original broadcast. UNCENSORED: This tag indicates that there is dialogue or footage that was originally censored/removed for original broadcast. Torrent abbreviations explained Thanks for reading, Cheers.

| This was all useful but is there a differentiation between VHSRip from home video vs VHSRip recorded from a TV broadcast and then digitised? | |

| Am I correct that if I released the video with damaged segment and then uploading the new torrent with 'full' version (both of them are recorded by myself), I should label the second as REPACK and not PROPER? | |

| technically that's an issue lately with "ntb", they can be a repack but no one knows why aka "torrentgalaxy encodes" most of the time is just a subtitles fix all... "SDHD" sometimes just miss normal subs | |

| OK. And if the same episode in the second release is captured from the different source (for example, different TV channel), that still counts as a REPACK if the content of the episodes is identical? | |
