How are the torrent videos made available in the first place? Are people just ripping DVDs?
- aidenn0 15y agoRips of DVDs and blu-rays are the most common (and high-quality) way for anything that has been put on a disc. Note that this may still be before commercial release, as screeners are made available for critics et. al. For movies that are newly in the theater, the movie is captured with a video camera. This varies in quality from some guy pointing a cam-corder at the screen with a microphone (worst quality) goes up when they hook the audio directly in using the system for the hard-of hearing (often called a telesync, though it's a bit of a misnomer) and is even better when done from a tripod in the projection room. Something that is still done, but is more rare, is to take the film and run it through a piece of dedicated equipment for converting from film to video, caled a telecine.
