Movie Pre-release section TAGs : Setting up our own Desi Standard for TAGs

1. Introduction

Desi releasers are seen like "shit" by Hollywood sites and releasers since years now as they think we are so stupid that we don't even know how to TAG our releases.

In Desi P2P things are completely different and we cannot use Hollywood TAGs.
We dont get PDVD or DVDSCR like they do.

Our reply to such Hollywood sites & releasers are:

- Scene releasers have their own TAGs and scene releasers dont give 2 "shit" about P2P.

- Hollywood gets R5, SCR etc... for nearly all movies that comes to theaters very fast.
We dont !!!
If they want us to TAG as their own standard, then ask them to infiltrate Bollywood industry and start releasing TS, TC, SCR and R5 of Bollywood movies here for us.

Our objective is NOT to satisfy few that want this and that and never propose any solution.
Our objective is to let users/leechers/downloaders of our releases, have sufficient information to easily and clearly differentiate the quality of release, just by looking at the TAG.

2. DRAFT PROPOSAL

After a collective work with
- DT Admin,
- ET Admin and their affiliated sites,
- DT groups : DDR, DUS, ICTV, DRC, XDM.

We have decided to create our own DESI TAGs standard.

From lowest to highest quality :

- CAM & HD-CAM
- DESI-PDvD
- DESISCR
- DVDSCR

3. Definitions and guidance for application.

3.1 TAGing & Labeling your release.

The only four TAGs allowed for pre-releases, from lowest to best quality, are:

a. CAM & HD-CAM
b. Desi-PDvD
c. DesiSCR
d; DVDSCR

3.1.1 CAM
It doesn't matter from which type of untouched media your CAM source is.

Only Tag allowed for such rips & sources are:
- "Untouched CAM" when the resolution is SD
All video having a horizontal resolution less than 1280 pixels is considered SD.
All rips from CAM will be tagged as "CAM Rip".

- "Untouched HD-CAM" when the resolution is HD.
All video having a horizontal resolution equal to or more than 1280 pixels is considered HD.
All rips in HD resolution from HD-CAM will be tagged as "HD-CAM Rip".

For SD resolution from HD-CAM, the TAG is still CAM-Rip, but you can mention that your source is HD-CAM provided
that the HD-CAM source is released on DT.

If it is not released on DT then you cannot use this tag.

3.1.2 Desi-PDvD
This TAg is allowed only if your source has a lots better quality video and audio than actual CAMs released on DT.
The source MUST be a DVD with at least AC3 files.

- "Untouched Desi-PDvD"
All rips from this will be tagged as "Desi-PDvD Rip".

3.1.3 DesiSCR
This TAg is allowed only if your source is a from a better than actual Desi-PDvD released on DT.
The source MUST be a DVD with at least AC3 files.

- There must be NO background noise like people talking, laughing etc... in theater.
- The audio must be clear
- The Aspect Ratio must be constant
- There must be no blocking artifacts
- There must be no movements of CAMERA shooting the theater screen.
- The frames must be fully aligned horizontally and vertically.
(Source from Camera shited on the tripod and filming the screen with an angle
cannot be TAGed DesiSCR but MUST be TAGed Desi-PDvD)

This TAG is subject to DT MODs appreciation. If the MOD evaluate that the quality
is not good enough to be TAGed as DesiSCR then he will Re-TAG it as DesiPDvD.

- "Untouched DesiSCR"
All rips from this will be tagged as "DesiSCR Rip".

3.1.4 DVDSCR
This TAg is allowed only if your source is from a copy sent to rental stores, and various other
places for promotional use, or to CENSOR Boards for review.
It MUST have the usual watermark and other informations normally found on a screener.

All rips from such source can be tagged as DVDSCR, only if the source is released on DT.
If the source is not released on DT, then you MUST provide proof of the source you used
being a DVDSCR by posting a sample of the source where the above identification info is clearly seen.

All rips from such source can be TAGed "DVDSCR Rip".

- "Untouched DVDSCR"
All rips from this will be tagged as "DVDSCR Rip".

3.1.5 ALL other TAGS or LABELS are NOT ALLOWED.

List of NOT ALLOWED TAGS:
All other TAGs than those given above are NOT allowed, including these, just for naming few

- NON-Retail
- TS
- TC
- SuperCAM
- New Source
- HQ
- Bla bla bla
and you name them ...
All releases using such TAGs will be deleted without notice.

3.1.6 Scene TAGs like PROPER/NUKED etc are not allowed.

3.1.7 Exclusive TAG.
Exclusive TAG can only be used if the release has ONLY been done on Desitorrents.
The releaser MUST wait till atleast 4 users have completed their download on DT before he can release on other sites.

A big thank to LittleLight (Aka Confessor : DT-Admin) and SaM (ET-Admin) for helping us in making up this new DESI TAGs standardisation.
