?After a long wait and hours of work, I am proud to present, the new XviD ?
?scene standards. In this celebration note, I must condemn the leaking of ?
?the 2004 draft edition, which was written only for the purpose of helping ?
?us all in building this new set of guidelines. I wanna thank everyone who ?
?took time to express their ideas and experience into bringing this document ?
?to life. Also, we shall not forget, all the past teams from 2000 to 2002 ?
?that made the DivX and XviD scene guidelines available, for TXD2K5 to be ?
?built upon. So without further ado, Enjoy! ?

? 滥哪[ RELEASE RULES ]哪馁 ?
? ?
? Movie Length: ?
? - PAL (25 fps) = MINIMUM runtime is 100 minutes/CD. ?
? - FILM (23.976 fps) = MINIMUM runtime is 105 minutes/CD. ?
? - NTSC (29.97 fps) = MINIMUM runtime is 87 minutes/CD. ?
? - These runtimes are scalable via the following equation: ?
? N CD time minimum = (N-1) * allowed time where N is number of CDs and ?
? allowable time applies to fps as outlined above: ?
? i.e. 3 CD FILM rip minimum = 105 x (3-1) = 210 minutes. ?
? - MINIMUM time length rule is as implied - that is the MINIMUM time per ?
? CD -- NOT MAXIMUM!!! (i.e. no such thing as "must be more than 1 CD") ?
? - Release runtime must be at least 50 minutes for using the full burnable ?
? media capacity. In such cases, releases MUST utilize a MINIMUM of ?
? 680mb of the 700mb standard burnable media (Multi-CD releases MUST ?
? conform to the 680mb minimum, for each CD used). Any other use of the ?
? media shall not be over 350mb (Sizes between 350mb to 680mb are not ?
? allowed). ?
? - Media usage is at ripper's discretion, please use it. ?
? ?
? ?
? AUDIO: ?
? - MUST be MP3 or Studio AC3 (AC3 transcoding forbidden). ?
? - MUST be STEREO for STEREO sources, MONO for MONO sources ?
? (MONO audio as STEREO on source is considered a MONO source). ?
? - MUST BE VBR! NO CBR MP3! ?
? - MP3 tracks must have the original frequency as it was on the DVD's ?
? audio: i.e. 48khz for 48khz and 44.1khz for 44.1khz. ?
? - MP3 files must be normalized. ?
? - ABR is considered a VBR technique. ?
? - AC3 MUST be used wisely and correctly. Ripper's discretion on when to ?
? use it. Using or not using AC3 IS NOT a technical flaw. ?
? - MONO AC3 is not allowed, in that case must encode to mono MP3. ?
? - Multi-language audio tracks are FORBIDDEN! (Use INTERNAL!) ?
? ?
? ?
? VIDEO: ?
? - Keyframe: ?
? MUST be <=20 seconds and MUST be inserted according to scene changes ?
? and framesizes as determined by the codec or encoding application. ?
? - Group watermarks of any kind on the video will not be tolerated! ?
? - Intermission messages must be removed from the avi! ?
? ?
? ?
? Framerate: ?
? - MUST be as close to original source framerate as possible. ?
? - In some cases PAL movies should be ivtc'd (i.e. to 24fps). Therefore ?
? using a PAL source is not an excuse for lack of ivtc. ?
? ?
? ?
? Codec: ?
? - MUST BE XviD (all DivX codecs are banned). ?
? - MUST use 2 pass technique during encoding. ?
? - NO DUPES BASED ON CODEC TYPE, USE INTERNAL! ?
? ?
? ?
? Resolution and Aspect Ratio: ?
? - Width: 512 - 672 pixels for WS movies (Letterboxed is considered WS). ?
? 448 - 576 pixels for FS movies (Only 4:3 images). ?
? - Height and Width: Must be a multiple of 16. ?
? - Cropping is required to be the MAXIMUM possible (black borders must ?
? be cropped to their maximum). Over cropped releases are considered ?
? a technical flaw. Some movies present changing ARs, in that case the ?
? cropping applies only to the image that presents more pixels (Means ?
? that part of the movie will have bad cropping). ?
? - Movie encodes must be within 5% of the original aspect ratio. ?
? Calculating AR % error: (Release AR - Original AR)/Original AR x 100 ?
? ?
? ?
? Subs, Interactive Menus, Trailers: ?
? - OPTIONAL (ONLY if all other requirements have been met). ?
? - VOBSUB is the preferred format due to the fact it does not use OCR. ?
? However, any format that displays with DVobSub is acceptable. ?
? - Subtitles may be MUXED with video stream, but MAY NOT be BURNED into ?
? video stream. MUXED subs will proper BURNED subs. ?
? - Subtitles not muxed into video stream MUST be encapsulated in a .rar ?
? file with the MOST compression available and shall be contained in ?
? the directory named 'Subs' and will NOT be packaged with main movie ?
? rars. ?
? - Burned subtitles shall only be permissible when the source exhibits ?
? aforementioned subtitles in the picture itself (i.e. Subs in the ?
? matte portion of the picture MUST be typed in a separate file and the ?
? frame shall be cropped). If there is a part of the burned subtitles ?
? on the picture itself, and another part on the matte portion of the ?
? picture, the frame must be cropped to 2 pixels from the start of the ?
? subtitles on the matte portion. Upside cropping of the picture has ?
? nothing to do with the downside, therefore the cropping on the upside ?
? MUST BE to it's maximum. ?
? - English subs on non English movies MUST fit on CD with main movie, ?
? all other optional subs SHOULD fit on the CD. ?
? - Foreign movies (Non English Spoken) with no English subs, must have ?
? the language name taggings (applies to the various non English ?
? scenes). Movies with English subs present, WILL NOT HAVE any language ?
? tag on them! ?
? - Using of hand made subs on non English releases (i.e. fansubs) MUST ?
? be mentioned in the nfo, and at nuker's discretion if to nuke the ?
? release for Bad.Subs, depends on how bad the subtitles are. Please ?
? use common judgement! Releases that were nuked for bad subtitles, may ?
? be propered only by subtitles that came from the retail DVD (Ripper's ?
? choice if to release the full movie again or just the subtitles). ?
? - Multi-language subtitles cannot be used as a basis for a dupe. ?
? ?
? ?
? Packaging: ?
? - All releases must be AVI, not BIN/CUE. ?
? - Must be packed with RAR and broken into 15 or 20 MB volumes. ?
? Releases that are more then 1 CD must have the RAR files broken into ?
? 2 or more CD volumes. ?
? - Compression is not allowed. ?
? - Recovery and MD5 record are recommended. ?
? - Must have SFV included for each CD. ?
? - Must have NFO. ?
? - NFO SHOULD INCLUDE: ?
? Group name ?
? Title ?
? Actual XviD release date ?
? DVD release date ?
? Theatrical release date (US preferably) ?
? Video size ?
? Framesize/Aspect Ratio ?
? Audio bitrate ?
? Video bitrate ?
? Movie runtime/Length ?
? IMDB/Amazon/Any other DVD site info link ?
? Number of rars per CD (i.e. 50x15MB) ?
? Ripping method ?
? DRF average ?
? ?
? ?
? Credits: ?
? - Movie credits can be encoded separately at a lower bitrate only if the ?
? time length exceeds the no. of CDs used (i.e. 106 min on 1CD for FILM ?
? source, or 201 min on 2CDs for PAL source, etc). ?
? - Any movies with scenes in the credits (i.e. bloopers or continuation ?
? of story) MAY NOT be downsampled! ?
? - Cutting Credits is not allowed. ?
? ?
? ?
? Samples: ?
? - REQUIRED! ?
? - 1 full minute in length and in a separate folder marked as 'Sample'. ?
? - MUST be taken from the movie - NOT encoded separately. ?
? - Vob samples are recommended for any rip that is deemed questionable: ?
? i.e. no ivtc possible on source, ivtc to 24.975fps etc. ?
? ?
? ?
? Propers: ?
? - Propers are ONLY permitted in the case of a technical flaw in the ?
? original release (i.e. Bad IVTC, Interlacing, bad number of CDs). ?
? - Releases not nuked on release lists and/or sites MUST include ?
? original sample of the technical flaw. ?
? - Qualitative propers are not allowed, nor are propers based on ?
? decisions made by a ripper (i.e. No. of CDs, AC3 or MP3, etc). ?
? - Propers based upon the compliance with new instances of TXD2K5 ?
? guidelines are also forbidden. ?
? Only propers acceptable when propering old tdx rips are propers based ?
? on picture damage: Aspect Ratio, IVTC, Over-Cropping. Other propers ?
? acceptable are propers based on releases that did not follow previous ?
? tdx guidelines, at the time they were released. ?
? - Subbed (in original movie language) propers dubbed (in any language). ?
? - Hardcored Subs may be propered by releases containing Vobsub/Srt. ?
? <This rule will not apply to movies ripped before TXD2K5> ?
? ?
? ?
? WS vs. FS: ?
? - FS movies after WS was out, are FORBIDDEN unless proven it contains ?
? more picture (use of sample or .jpg as proof). ?
? - WS movies after FS was out, MUST HAVE original sample from the ?
? previous release, unless proven no WS DVD was out at the time the FS ?
? was released. A WS not following the above is considered a DUPE! ?
? - WS or FS name tags on the release name, if the other wasn't released ?
? in the past, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! <use nfo to mention the AR>. ?
? - WS cannot proper another WS: for example 2.35:1 after 1.85:1 is out. ?
? Use the tag WS in the dirname instead. However WS after a wider WS ?
? was released, will be considered a DUPE unless proven it contains ?
? more picture! Sample rule applies here also. ?
? - Letterboxed DVDs are not considered FS even if it's FS on the source! ?
? ?
? ?
? Special Movie Editions: ?
? - Allowed: SE, DC, EXTENDED, UNCUT, REMASTERED, UNRATED, THEATRICAL, ?
? CHRONO. ?
? - Special Edition releases without any different features in the film ?
? itself will be considered dupes of previous releases of the same ?
? movie. ?
? - Shorter cut version of a movie after a longer version was released is ?
? allowed (i.e. THEATRICAL), and MUST be mentioned in the dirname. ?
? - Remastered movies after the original have been released are allowed ?
? only if the original release was in BLACK AND WHITE and the ?
? remastered edition is colour. Everything else use INTERNAL! ?
? (Remastered DVD releases that were nuked in the past and were colour ?
? after black and white, shall not be unnuked and shall not be duped!) ?
? - Remastered audio will be considered a dupe if it's the only reason ?
? movie was re-released. ?
? - Extras released in a special movie edition, cannot be used as a basis ?
? for a dupe, unless released separately <and are not dupes of previous ?
? releases>. ?
? - Homemade Rips are not allowed (Use INTERNAL!). For example adding of ?
? deleted scenes, alternate endings, chrono editions. Only retail DVD ?
? rips of this versions are allowed. ?
? - NOTE: PAL - NTSC length difference comes from the no. of frames, not ?
? extra footage. ?
? ?
? ?
? Directory Naming: ?
? - All releases are to include production year (applies to the pre scene ?
? as well). ?
? - DO NOT indicate Ripping method, DVD/XviD release date, Genre, Audio ?
? which was used (no AC3) or anything else! (ONLY WITHIN THE NFO) ?
? - Movie distribution tags i.e. FESTIVAL, STV, LIMITED or TV (TV tag ?
? is used for TV movies only) are allowed and shall be used wisely and ?
? correctly. ?
? - READ.NFO is strictly forbidden. ?
? - Other permitted tags are: WS/FS <rules above>, PROPER, REPACK, RERIP, ?
? REAL, RETAIL, EXTENDED, REMASTERED, UNRATED, CHRONO, THEATRICAL, DC, ?

? ?
? Source related notes: ?
? - DVD source shall be RETAIL/DVD Screener only. Non DVD sources like ?
? CAM, TS, TC, VHS, SCREENER, PDVD, LDVD etc, MUST be tagged with source ?
? in dirname and MUST adhere to ALL TXD2K5 rules! ?
? - DVD Screeners shall be clearly marked in the directory name and the ?
? nfo shall contain presence of studio watermarking and counters or ?
? lack thereof. ?
? - Use of downsampled DVD-Rs as source is FORBIDDEN! <only untouched> ?
? ?
? ?
? Internals: ?
? - All INTERNALS must follow TXD2K5 rules, apart from the time length ?
? rules and multi-language audio tracks rule (and will not be considered ?
? as dupes). Other codecs and containers are allowed for experimental ?
? purposes. ?
? - NOTE: INTERNAL dirfix is not allowed as a basis of avoiding a nuke. ?
? ?
? ?
? Ripping related notes: ?
? - Maximum VIDEO bitrates are covered by length rules. ?
? - If DRF average would be over 4.0, the resolution should be lowered if ?
? possible, until the minimal res is reached. See Resolution rules. ?
? DRF average can be checked with DRF Analyzer <It is recommended to ?
? check the full avi file and not just the sample>. ?
? - Quant. Matrix always has to be H.263/MPEG due to lack of hardware ?
? support for Custom matrixes. ?
? - Quarterpel/GMC forbidden due to lack of hardware support. ?
? - Packed Bitstream is not supported on some of the major gen chipsets, ?
? therefore using it, is not recommended. ?
? - The use of ITU-R is not recommended since it gives an AR error of ?
? around 2% from the original DVD's Aspect Ratio. ?
? - Multi-language audio tracks are allowed only for INTERNALS. ?
? Multiple languages should be interleaved into the AVI, with a ?
? graphedit filter for each appropriate audio stream. ?
? - NO intros, outros, betweenos, or any other form of defacement of the ?
? movie will be tolerated. ?
