Sound from TS - what is it? Sound quality in films. Description of various video formats, What does TC, TS, DVDRip mean?
Complete dubbing of a film is a technically complex process and is considered " aerobatics"in the film's voice acting. Carried out by professionals at film studios. In order to dub a film, all recorded sounds and voices must be separated, replacing the voices, and then mixing the overall sound. DUB.TS, DUBTS, DUBC - (Dublicated TS/CAMRip)- Dubbing from the screen. That is, the video sequence can be High Quality, and the sound is used from a low-quality copy. For example, there is a Russian film of low quality, and English version High Quality. Dubbed- The original sound has been removed from the film. For example, they took a track from a Russian cinema and put it on an American release. DVO (2VO) - (Double Voice Over)- Two-voice voice-over translation - voice-over translation, but unlike multi-voice translation - the film is translated by two understudies, a man and a woman. L- amateur polyphonic translation L1- amateur single-voice translation L2- amateur two-voice translation Line.Dubbed- The same as Dubbed, only in this case the sound was taken from the “chair” or “projector” (Line). Mic.Dubbed- The same as Dubbed, only the sound was recorded with a microphone in a cinema. MVO - (Multi Voice Over)- Polyphony (three or more, can be professional or amateur) - this is when the original speech of the film is muffled (at the same time slightly muffled other sounds) and the voices of several actors (professional) or non-actors (amateur) are superimposed on top, but the original soundtrack still a little audible. O- original (in Russian films) OST, Orig, Original - (Original SoundTrack)- Original sound P- professional multi-voice translation. It is worth noting that the letter P in the title of the film can also denote a professional two-voice translation, as well as L - an amateur two-voice translation, since many of the group's releases do not divide the translation into multi-voice and two-voice. P1- professional single-voice translation (often the author’s) P2- professional two-voice translation PC- Professional (multi-voice, voice-over) from the screen PDVO, P2VO - (Professional Double Voice Over)- Professional two-voice (or “boy - girl”) PNO- There is no sound. POFF- No sound required. PSVO, PVO - (Professional Single Voice Over)- Professional single-voice SVO (1VO, VO) - (Single Voice Over)- Single-voice voice-over translation is a translation where all actors are voiced by the same understudy (usually a man). Such translations are especially familiar to all fans of VHS movies from the 80s and 90s. Simultaneous translation (Goblin)- Cool translation. The names of the characters and the plot change.
Release Features
Dupe- A second release of the same film by a different release group (usually stolen from the first). Proper- Re-release of a film (sometimes by a different group) due to the poor quality of the previous one. Recode- Release converted to another format or re-encoded. Rerip- New rip of the film DC (Director's Cut)- Director's cut is a special edition of the film, presenting the film from the director's point of view, and not edited according to the requirements of customers, distributors, studios, film critics, etc. Limited- The film was shown limited quantities cinemas. Usually no more than 250-500. Pay-per-view- (viewing for money) - video content distributed by channels like HBO on individual orders from subscribers of the corresponding paid service(for example, erotica) recoded with the XviD codec. Another “folk art” in the notations from the series SE ( Special Edition) - Special version film. A striking example is the restored version of " Star Wars"with the addition of material from the 70s computer graphics, animation, 3D models. STV (Straight To Video)- The film was immediately released on DVD/cassette, bypassing cinemas. Quality - DVDrip or VHSrip, respectively. WP (Workprint)- This is the so-called “Beta version” of the film. Particularly interesting for film lovers. It is usually released in VCD format much earlier than it is shown in cinemas around the world. Due to the fact that this preview version film, the quality of the material can be either excellent or very low. Often some scenes and computer special effects may be missing. However, there may also be scenes in Workprint that will be cut in the final version. You can recognize such versions by the timer at the top or bottom of the screen (it is needed for subsequent editing of the final version). FS (Fullscreen)- release in full screen mode, video resolution 3:4. Often a Fullscreen is made from a Widescreen version using the Pan and Scan (PS) method, cutting off part of the frame on the sides. WS (Widescreen), Letterbox- widescreen video, usually 16:9. When viewed on a regular 3:4 aspect ratio screen, there will be black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. PS (Pan and Scan)- Method for converting widescreen (WS) video to full screen mode fullscreen (FS). In this case, part of the frame on the right and left is cut off. Watermarked- Small logos of the TV channel or releaser.Have you ever had the “bad luck” that a movie you downloaded from the Internet turned out to be not of the best quality? Personally, this has happened to me more than once... It turns out that sometimes such a mistake can be avoided by knowing...
Explanations of abbreviations found in the titles or descriptions of downloaded films.
Often the movie description will include a "quality" attribute, which looks like DVDRip, CAMRip, TS, TC, DVDSrc, etc. Most of you probably know what the abbreviation indicated in this parameter means (CamRip, Telesync, etc.). Well, for those who are not yet in the know, below is a little information.
Before moving on to the main question, you need to be familiar with the following concepts:
1. Movie quality- a concept denoting the degree of compliance of the main audio-visual characteristics of a film with accepted norms and rules. In other words, quality refers to how good a movie is to watch.
2. Movie format- a method of presenting a film on various media, as well as depending on the equipment on which the film will be played. Today, with the development of various media and sources of film recording, the concept of “format” has begun to intersect (identify) with the concept of “quality”.
3. Rip- a format in which a film is represented as one file made with source disk special program during the ripping process. During this process, the characteristics of the film (number of audio tracks, video bitrate, subtitles, etc.), final size, and image quality relative to the source disc change.
Movie quality:
CAMRip (CAM, " screen", "rag")
Sometimes mistakenly labeled as Screen (SCR). Video and sound are recorded on a camera in the cinema hall. The image can sometimes be shot at an angle to the screen, shake, in some films the heads of other moviegoers can be seen, etc. The sound quality varies, and interference such as audience laughter is possible. Usually the worst and very first quality that can be found after official release film.
Telesync (TS)
Ideally, the screen is recorded with a professional (digital) camera mounted on a tripod in an empty theater or in the operator's cabin. The video quality is much better than CAMRip. Audio is recorded directly from the projector or another separate output, such as the chair's headphone jack. This way the sound is very good and without interference, usually in stereo mode. A lot of TS are actually CAMRips with the name mixed up.
Telecine (TC, " roll")
A copy is made from a film using special equipment (film scanner) or recorded from a special projector with outputs for audio and video. The quality depends on the equipment used - from good to indistinguishable from DVD, the sound is excellent. Sometimes there are problems with the naturalness of colors (“yellowness” of the picture).
Super Telesync (SuperTS, Super-TS, " digitization")
This is TS (occasionally TS), run through a computer - the film is brightened, aligned, removed extraneous noise image and sound, etc. The quality is often good, but depends on the creator.
DVD-Rip (DVDRip)
A rip from the original DVD, often compressed in MPEG4 to reduce the size of the film. Mostly there are DVDRips with a capacity of 650-700 MB and 1.3-1.5 GB. The quality is very good, although it depends on the skill of the creator (the “ripper”). Sometimes versions with better quality are indicated as SuperDVD, HQ DVD.
DVD-Screener (DVDScr, DVDScreener) (SCR)
A copy of a "promotional" DVD (disc for film critics, promotional version or beta). The quality is like DVDRip, but the picture is usually “spoilt” with watermarks, warning notices and black-and-white inserts (“fading color”).
SCREENER (SCR) or VHS-SCREENER (VHSScr)
The same as DVDScr, only from a video cassette. Copy from "promotional" VHS (cassette for film critics, promotional version or beta). The image quality is comparable to very good VHS, but the picture is usually "ruined" by watermarks, warning notices and black-and-white inserts ("color fading"). The sound is not bad, usually stereo or Dolby Surround.
TV-Rip (TVRip)
Material recorded from TV signal, usually cable (but you can also get them from a simple antenna). Almost all television series are initially distributed in this or SATRip format. Quality depends on the equipment, software and ripping skills.
PDTV-Rip (PDTVRip)
Pure Digital Television Rip - Rip from "clean" digital television. The designation indicates that there was no conversion during encoding analog signal in digital. Under the general designation PDTV-Rip may be hiding SAT-Rip, DVB-RIP, IPTV-RIP. The source can be satellite channel(DVB-S), uncoded terrestrial digital DVB-T broadcasting, sometimes IPTV and other channel digital broadcasting, in which they are not used (or successfully bypassed) special methods, preventing direct recording of the digital stream. Most often the channel logo is present.
SAT-Rip (SATRip)
Similar to TVRip. The material was recorded from satellite video (usually digital MPEG2 video). The quality depends on the provider, the channel and the quality of the rip. Usually this Rip is only slightly inferior to DVDRip (although there are exceptions). Most often the channel logo is present.
DVB-Rip (DVBRip, DVB-T Rip)
Similar to SATRip. Material recorded on the ground digital television broadcasting(usually this is digital MPEG2 video, occasionally MPEG4). The quality depends on the provider, the channel and the quality of the rip. Usually this Rip is only slightly inferior to DVDRip (although there are exceptions). Most often the channel logo is present.
IPTV-Rip (IPTVRip)
Similar to SATRip. The material was recorded from digital IP television (usually digital MPEG2 or MPEG4 video). Usually this Rip is only slightly inferior to DVDRip. Most often the channel logo is present. Appeared relatively recently.
DVD5 (DVD-5)
Copy (compressed) from the original DVD. Volume - 4-4.5 GB
DVD9 (DVD-9)
Copy (compressed) from the original dual-layer DVD. Volume - 7-9 GB
HDTV-Rip (HDTVRip)
Rip from an HDTV movie (1920x1080, 1280x720), which is often done at the resolution of a regular (non-HDTV) rip (sometimes with the original resolution). The quality is often better than DVDRip. Under the general name HDTV-Rip there are rips with BD-Rip, HDDVD-Rip, digital satellite and cable operators broadcasting in HDTV. The description often contains designations 720p, 1080p, 1080i, 1280p(see below.)
BD-Rip (BDRip, BRRip, BR-Rip)
Rip from Blu-Ray DVD disc(from 25 GB per layer). Applies to HDTV. Real BDRip movies have much better quality than DVDRip. File size - 9.5 GB. Often the size of the picture is immediately indicated in the designation. For example, BDRip.720p BDRip.1080p. Sometimes there are rips from DVDs with an enlarged picture and an incorrect BDRip designation.
HD-DVD-Rip (HDDVDRip, HDDVD-Rip, HDDVD)
Rip from HD DVD disc (from 15 GB per layer). Applies to HDTV. Due to the fact that HD-DVD actually lost in the war of Blu-Ray VS HD-DVD formats, the number of such rips will be insignificant.
Laserdisc-RIP (LDRip)
Similar to DVDRip. This version is made from Laserdisc. It is quite rare, mostly old films.
VHS-Rip (VHSRip)
The source of the material is a VHS tape, usually of fairly average quality.
Other abbreviations:
Workprint (WP)
This is the so-called "Beta version" of the film. Particularly interesting for film lovers. It is usually released in VCD format much earlier than it is shown in cinemas around the world. Due to the fact that this is a pre-release film, the quality of the material may vary from excellent to very poor. Often some scenes and computer special effects may be missing. However, there may also be scenes in Workprint that will be cut in the final version. You can recognize such versions by the timer at the top or bottom of the screen (it is needed for subsequent editing of the final version).
720p, 1080p, 1080i, 1280p etc. - designations are found in HDTV-movies and rips.
The number is the vertical resolution of the picture with an aspect ratio of 16:9. For example - 720p - 1280x720
i (interlaced scan) - interlaced scanning, the image is formed from two half-frames (as in regular television). At the same time, the flow (and therefore the file size) decreases, but in motion you can see the so-called. "comb effect" on the border of colors. Frequency 50 or 60 half frames per second
p (progressive scan) - progressive scan, the frame is transmitted and formed as a whole, while the picture in motion is not distorted. The disadvantage of progressive is that the flow is twice as large as interlaced. The result is a larger file size or lower frame rate.
Fullscreen (FS)
release in full screen mode, video resolution 3:4. Often a Fullscreen is made from a Widescreen version using the Pan and Scan (PS) method, cutting off part of the frame on the sides.
Widescreen (WS)
widescreen video, usually 16:9. When viewed on a regular 3:4 aspect ratio screen, there will be black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
DUPE
Second release of the same film by a different release group (usually stolen from the first)
Director's Cut (DC)
The director's cut is a special edition of the film, presenting the film from the director's point of view, and not edited according to the requirements of customers, distributors, studios, film critics, etc.
Dubbed
The original sound has been removed from the film. For example, they took a track from a Russian cinema and put it on an American release.
Line.Dubbed
The same as Dubbed, only in this case the sound was taken from the “chair” or “projector” (Line).
LETTERBOX
Same as Widescreen (WS)
LIMITED
The film was shown in a limited number of cinemas. Usually no more than 250-500.
Mic.Dubbed
Same as Dubbed, only the sound was recorded with a microphone in a movie theater.
Pan and Scan (PS)
Method for converting widescreen (WS) video to fullscreen (FS) mode. In this case, part of the frame on the right and left is cut off.
PROPER
A re-release of a film (sometimes by a different group) due to the poor quality of the previous one.
RECODE
Release re-formatted or re-encoded
RERIP
New movie rip
Special Edition (SE)
Special version of the film. A striking example is the restored version of “Star Wars” with the addition of computer graphics, animation, and 3D models to the material from the 70s.
Straight To Video (STV)
The film was immediately released on DVD/cassette, bypassing cinemas. Quality - DVDrip or VHSrip, respectively.
Subbed
Film with subtitles
WATERMARKED
Small logos of a TV channel or releaser
How to determine translation quality
Dubbed translation (dubbing)- professional, multi-voiced (usually at least 10-15 understudies), without original voices in the “background”. If original voices are heard in the “background”, even just a little, this is no longer dubbing - this is voice-over translation. Dubbing is serious and expensive work. It sometimes takes weeks to complete. It is necessary that the voice of the understudy matches the original in timbre and temperament; the translated text is brought into line with the movement of the character’s lips... however, this can only be found in really high-quality dubbings.
Multi-voice voiceover- voice-over multi-voice (3-5 voices) translation, in which, unlike the dubbed one, you can hear the original voices. Usually, the task of the understudy involved in dubbing a film is not to overact and produce the Russian text with restraint. Translation can be professional or amateur, although the line between them is very thin.
(can be professional or amateur) - this is when the original speech of the film is muffled (at the same time other sounds are slightly muffled) and the voices of several actors (professional) or non-actors (amateur) are superimposed on top, but the original sound track is still slightly audible.
Simultaneous translation- this is a translation of the speaker’s speech with a lag of 2-3 seconds
Author's translation- a type of professional single-voice translation. The film is voiced by one person, who is often also a translator. It is characterized by the presence for each translator of his own distinctive features in the voice, by which everyone recognizes him, as well as genre affiliation (preference to dub films of certain genres). Sometimes so-called author translation studios are founded, which are engaged in dubbing films.
Amateur translation- a translation option in which the film can be dubbed by one person or several (one-voice, two-voice) amateurs. Characterized by its unprofessionalism. Often the speech is poorly delivered and there is no diction. The worst of the bunch.
Subtitles- text translation option. It is used both in the absence of audio translation, and in combination with various translation options, as an addition. It is a text analogue of the speech spoken in the film. Placed in the lower center of the frame.

CamRip (CAM): Lowest quality. The film is recorded with a camera from a cinema screen. Quality is usually normal to good. In some films the heads of other moviegoers are visible, etc. The sound quality varies, and interference such as audience laughter is possible.
Telesync (TS): Recorded from the screen with a professional (digital) camera mounted on a tripod in an empty theater. The video quality is much better than from a simple camera (Cam). Sound is recorded directly from the projector or from another separate output, such as the headphone jack in the seat (like on an airplane). The sound this way is very good and without interference. As a rule, the sound is in stereo mode.
Screener (SCR): Second place in quality. For this purpose, a professional video cassette for the press is used. The picture quality is comparable to a very good VHS. The sound is also excellent, usually stereo or Dolby Surround.
Workprint (WP): A special treat for movie lovers. This is the so-called "Beta version" of the film. Usually released in VCD format and much earlier than the start of the show in cinemas around the world. This is a pre-release version of the film. Because of this, everything can be expected. From super quality to complete crap. Some scenes are often missing. However, it may also happen that all the scenes are there, and then they are cut out... You can recognize such versions by the timer at the top or bottom of the screen - it is needed for subsequent editing.
Telecine (TC): These versions are very rare. But the quality is the best. The source is a projector with outputs for audio and video. The film is recorded directly from the projector. The video and sound quality is excellent.
DVDRip and LDRip: This version is made from DVD or Laserdisc. The quality is excellent. Usually there are rarely new films, as they are released after theatrical release.
TVrip: recording from television. The quality can be anything.
PS: Pan and Scan: Films made to test the audience's reaction. They are shown on a square screen. If such a film is rewritten for home TV, then the format needs to be remade. Most US films made after 1955 were recorded in 1.85:1 (European films were recorded in 1.66:1). The exception is the Cinemascope format (2.35:1) for anamorphic lenses. A regular TV has an aspect ratio of 1.33:1. If you transfer it to video, you need to reduce the picture. This is done like this: the video is cut in width. If you bought a DVD and there is no information about "Original Film Format", then you can assume that the film was cut using the Pan and Scan method. If you want the whole movie, then buy the DVD marked "Widescreen".
STV: Straight To Video means that the film was recorded from a projector and immediately encoded in real time.
Dubbed: The original sound was removed (For example, they took a track from a Russian cinema and put it on the American release)
Line.Dubbed: Same as Dubbed, only in this case the sound was taken from the “chair” or “projector” (Line).
Mic.Dubbed: Same as Dubbed, only the sound was recorded with a microphone in a movie theater.

(Based on site materials
Needless to say, in the vastness of our country there are not many people who prefer to buy films. And the point here is not even that they all so passionately want to violate copyright laws. It’s just that the income of the overwhelming number of users is such that they have no choice but to use illegal copies.
It’s just that when a new film appears online, the releases contain a bunch of information, most of which the average user would never be able to figure out on their own. Take, for example, TS quality. This phrase is constantly found in the releases of new films, but what does this “Chinese letter” mean?
In fact, there is nothing complicated here. The fact is that this definition covers films that were shot in a cinema on camera. But don’t rush to be indignant! These are far from the terrible creations that we all remember from pirated DVDs: punctuated with noise, dark, completely unsuitable for viewing. The fact is that TS quality is obtained when a video camera is placed in an empty cinema hall, which is used to film what is happening on the screen.
Since in this case a tripod is used, the image sometimes comes out of quite high quality. However, the quality of the resulting product is also facilitated by the fact that the sound in most cases is recorded from the sound output of professional equipment.
Of course, this is far from the quality of a full-fledged DVD (not to mention more advanced formats), however, you can already watch a movie. True, the quality of TS most likely will not allow you to enjoy fast and dynamic scenes, because in most cases the image will still be somewhat blurry.
It must be remembered that careless users often pass off their filming in a crowded cinema (which does not even reach normal CAM) as TS. In general, films of this quality are quite rare, since to shoot them you need to be (at a minimum) an employee of the cinema, and even have unlimited access to the premises. Most often, “TS quality” in distribution only means that the person who made the banal “screen” simply worked a little with various filters, after which the “masterpiece” began to look a little better.
In addition, even in the case of a normal vehicle, you can often observe a low-quality and blurry picture. This happens when the operator is in a hurry and, for reasons of secrecy, poorly configures the equipment. As a result, the footage was little better than a copy, filmed in a hurry by an ordinary cinema goer.
So, is the TS format worth using for home movie viewing? If you are a person of rare impatience, then it’s worth it. If you quality is more important, then it’s better to go to the cinema or wait for better rips. Moreover, in modern conditions discs with legal copies of films appear quickly. Just as quickly, they make “casts” of them, which can be found online the very next day after the premiere.
In short, if you have a luxurious plasma display at home, then TS quality is not for you. Better wait for better copies!
In the 21st century, it is very important to be able to figure out which films are worth watching and which ones can be ignored. Each film has a number of designations that are incomprehensible at first glance, for example - “Sound with TS”, what does this mean? The answer is quite simple - the sound in this film was most likely recorded separately from the video using a professional camera in a movie theater or even in the booth of the operator who is responsible for broadcasting the tape.
Contemporary cinema
Everyone wants to watch movies in good quality, however, not many are willing to pay for it. When a new film is released on the wide screen, not all potential viewers are ready to immediately run to the cinema to buy tickets. Some people don't like the genre, others don't like the actor playing main role, some prefer to wait for the film to be released on DVD. Some viewers, in order to save money, prefer to buy new paintings on the Internet on specialized portals.
But what does a film fan do if he is limited in money? He begins to look for other ways to get an interesting film. Previously, many of them recorded films on a video camera directly in the cinema, but after the legislation was tightened, this method has exhausted itself. But to agree with the cinema operator in the booth about filming for small fee many consider this to be the norm, although this is also punishable by existing legislation.
T.S.
So, TS sound, what is it? This abbreviation stands for Telesync and is translated as “video or audio recording of an event made without the permission of the copyright holders.” Sound recorded in this way is always filmed using a professional camera, which is mounted on a special tripod. The sound must be captured by direct connection to the source, in some cases wireless microphones are used, which are located next to the speakers.
The next stage is synchronizing the audio track with the video. In theory, it should be carried out using the same methods that are used by television companies and studios, but bootleggers rarely resort to it, as a result of which the sound and picture on the recordings that they subsequently distribute do not always correlate with each other. In some cases, videos with similar sound appear even earlier than the original films.
CamRip
Very often, films in TS are confused with CamRip, which are familiar to everyone as “screens”. These films are recorded from ordinary video cameras, so they have very poor quality of both video and sound. It is these recordings that can most often be seen on warezniks, torrents and counters owned by pirates. Distinctive feature These recordings are silhouettes of spectators who accidentally fall into the lens when entering or leaving the cinema hall.
Despite the fact that current legislation prohibits filming films in movie theaters, this does not stop pirates. This is why the camera can be positioned unevenly, and only most of the picture gets into the lens. Such recordings are only suitable for those who really can’t wait to watch new tape, but for some reason you can’t go to the cinema. Meanwhile, CamRip quality leaves much to be desired, but pirates sell these recordings for very decent money.
TS quality
Movies recorded using Telesync (TS) technology have a quality that is an order of magnitude higher than CamRip. This is largely achieved thanks to professional camera, in the last few years, digital equipment has begun to be used to record films. Another significant advantage is the use of a tripod, which avoids “jumping images”.
As a rule, with such recording it is possible to capture a much larger image area, which can also be considered as an advantage. The recorded sound is much cleaner because there is no noise or laughter from the audience. This sound is often used until the film is officially released in Russian dubbing.
Enhancing Recorded Audio
If you do come across a movie recorded using Telesync technology, it is often quite difficult to watch it, and many people think about how to improve the sound with TS. Specific method there is no technology for this, but you can use what is suitable for CamRip pictures. First you need to find the speaker icon on the desktop of your computer and click on it right click mice. In the opened context menu select “Playback devices” and left-click on this section.
A small window will appear with “Sound” written in the header. Find in the list of devices exactly the one that is responsible for playing sound in the feeds you are viewing, most often it is “Speakers”. Highlight this item, and then click the “Properties” button, then you will be taken to a new menu, where among all the tabs you will need to select “ Additional features", this is where all the effects that can be applied to your chosen configuration are located.
The next step that needs to be completed to improve the sound quality in films is to check the box next to the “Volume equalization” item. To change the speed of sound level equalization, you need to click on the “Options” button, which is located immediately above the “View” button. If you do both manipulations, then when viewing the picture you will not be distracted by excessively loud bass, quiet sound on the characters’ lines, as well as volume changes that may occur when changing scenes and their musical accompaniment.
Mono or stereo?
The TS audio format can be completely different, everything will depend on the conditions under which the film was recorded. In films recorded using this technique, single-channel sound, also called mono, is predominantly found. This happens because the track is recorded from one microphone, which, as a rule, is installed next to one speaker. As a result, noise, interference, and in some cases even echo can be heard on such a recording.
Mostly in tapes recorded using Telesync technology, stereo sound is found, which is also called two-channel. As a rule, it is recorded directly from the projector and equipment located in the auditorium. Since the creators of films using this technology do not set themselves the task of releasing a high-quality product, then talking about sound recorded using multi-channel technology (DTS, Dolby Digital etc.), is not necessary at all.
Dubbing
Many people are confused by the wording “Dubbed sound with TS”; what it is is sometimes difficult to figure out. As a rule, such a phrase can be found when describing a foreign film that was published on torrents or even Varezniks. This implies that the film was re-dubbed by one of the existing film studios; as a rule, such a translation is made of very high quality and is easy to perceive by ear. However, pirates don’t care; they can record sound from absolutely any film.
The hardest thing to watch are TS movies that are translated using only one voice. Not only is it not always clear which lines refer to which character, but the sound quality leaves much to be desired. However, quality is clearly not the indicator that producers of illegal content are chasing, and this should be taken into account.
TC and TS
Sound with TS: what is it and how to use it? - Internet users often get an erroneous answer to this question. main reason is that they confuse the abbreviation TS with the similar TC, which denotes a completely different type of recording. The use of Telecine technology assumes that a copy is made from a painting using a special scanner or a projector with audio and video outputs.
The quality of the film recorded in this way will directly depend on what equipment is used. If it is practically no different from DVD, the sound recording is very good. The main difficulty that users of this type of illegal content may encounter is the unnaturalness of the colors; sometimes the picture is excessively “yellowish.”
SuperTS
Many users say that sometimes the good sound quality of TS is not enough for them, what does this mean? Typically what they mean is poor quality the film as a whole, and in these cases they are even ready to start editing it. This is exactly how films labeled Super Telesync (SuperTS) appear; they all undergo serious processing using large quantity computer programs.
As a result, the film turns out to be leveled, brightened, and absolutely all extraneous noise is removed from it. The image is also significantly adjusted; for this, in some cases, a video sequence of the original picture is used, from which the audio track is removed. Bootleggers want to get the highest quality product, which can later be sold for big money.
Punishment
Despite the fact that many people know about the quality of films marked “sound with TS”, that they are illegally created copies of works protected by copyright, these films are extremely popular. Illegal use of such products for the creation of copies for the purpose of subsequent sale of the latter falls under paragraph 2 of Article 146 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
According to current legislation, bootleg producers can be punished with a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles, 480 hours of compulsory labor, two years of correctional or forced labor. Particularly malicious pirates can even go to jail for up to two years. Group piracy committed on a particularly large scale, or committed by a person who has exceeded his official authority, is punished much more seriously. According to paragraph 3, such violators of the law can be punished forced labor(up to 5 years), as well as imprisonment for up to 6 years with a large fine.
Conclusion
If you really want to watch films in good quality, it is best to wait for their release on DVD or purchase them using specialized sites on the Internet. Remember that it is your honesty and integrity that helps film companies recoup the costs of film production, as well as receive money that will be used to shoot new interesting films.
Pirated copies can hardly be called high quality; in addition, they are simply illegal and can even cause harm. It is unknown what else the bootlegger could have recorded on the disc with the tape you liked; it is quite possible that in addition to the film itself, you will find several viruses there that can destroy your playback device once and for all. In any case, the decision on whether to use fake copies low quality or wait for the release of a high-quality version of the film, you decide exclusively yourself.
