I recently enjoyed playing yet another zombie survivors and it was a blast, cheap and at least a weeks worth of grinding to unlock all the goodies. Also you only need the WASD keys so you should be set with your broken arm.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in this thread mention Telecines at all. It’s a machine that captures the video and audio from the film print directly to digital. A lot of good Cam rips were filmed from the projection booth, and could conceivably be done by a projectionist surreptitiously. Telecines though, required a large piece of equipment and time with a print outside of hours. Likely you’d need to be a manager or owner to get away with it, or have their blessing.
I remember the excitement of finding a Telecine for a movie in theatres rather than a Cam. It felt like striking gold. I bet the people releasing those in scene groups would be treated like gods back then.
Also, Telesyncs, which would be labelled TS, is when you have that high quality cam recording and sync it to a direct recording of the audio. The audio often came from the FM microbroadcast that are designed for hearing-aid users.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:35mm_film_audio_macro.jpg Dolby Digital is an image of a digital signal (basically a QR code) that is between the cog-wheel holes on one side. Good Telecine machines are able to record the full surround track from this. That used to be the absolute best you could get while something was still in theatres. Often better than award copies, they had no stupid watermarks.
Back in the day, and probably even now, as I used to encounter them when I lived in the big city, cam copies were famous on the streets. It was the only way to get a bootleg copy while the movie was still in theatres but you didn’t want to go for whatever reason.
When I lived in the big city, in a not so great area, the guys used to be in the grocery store parking lot or barbers or smoke shops selling the DVDs and before that were selling VHS copies.
And then when LimeWire grew in popularity, people would upload those like they would any retail DVD. And then went on to torrents as those grew in popularity.
And it still continues today for similar reasons. People want the fame that comes with uploading the first copy online or the first decent quality.
You can though it’s a bit of a roundabout way of doing it.
P2P releases typically come from private trackers, so you’re having them go from private trackers --> usenet --> public/private torrents
Scene releases that leak to the public typically hit private trackers/usenet around the same time, so you’re having those go scene --> private trackers/usenet --> public/private torrents
In others words anything you’re seeing in usenet has already been uploaded to at least some private trackers & possibly public torrents.
Of course with public torrents anything goes, unfortunately with the demise of RARBG public torrent users are only seeing a fraction of scene/p2p releases. 1337x/TorrentGalaxy does cover some of this but they aren’t covering nearly as much as the RARBG uploaders used to. So IMO if you’re seeing a scene/p2p release that hasn’t already been uploaded at 1337x/TorrentGalaxy then sure go ahead & create the torrent from your usenet download.
