Difference between CAMRip, HDTS, DVDRip, BDRip, HDTVRip and WEBRip

The ripping is the extraction of audiovisual content from a medium or container, digital or physical, to another medium. The files ripped they are generally distributed over the Internet. The difference between the various types of rips it's because fountain or original medium, from which the audiovisual content was extracted.

A CAMRip refers to the audiovisual content being captured during a projection, generally in a cinema. A HDTS ripped It is similar to a CAMRip, with the difference that with the HDTS the video and audio were recorded separately, and then sync them.

A DVDRip indicates that the source from which the audiovisual content was extracted was a DVD, while a BDRip indicates that the source was a Blu-ray.

In the case of HDTVRip, the origin of the content was an analog or digital transmission of high definition television. Finally, the WEBRip refers to the audiovisual content was captured from a online streaming service, for example, like the one offered by Netflix or Amazon.

The practice of extracting audiovisual content from a container and distributing it without permission is prohibited in many regions, being considered an act of

piracy.

What is ripping?

The ripping or digital extraction, known as rip in Spanish, it is the process of drink the digital information of a medium or container (CD, DVD, TV, streaming service), and place it on another digital storage medium, physical or digital.

Digital extraction differs from a simple copy of a disc, in that the latter produces a physical duplicate of a DVD. That is, the copy implies that the copied disc has the same information as the original disc (from which the copy was made).

However, when this digital extraction process is performed, the original file many times goes through a process of compression or recoding. This allows it to be simpler to access, distribute, use or reproduce on different media.

To do a rip (information extracted from one medium to another), are used programs that allow the digital information to be extracted from the file, and that they transfer it to some storage medium.

It is also common to be named after a rip to the recording or copying of different audiovisual files, generally produced for the same purpose for which a rip real.

For example, a CAMRip is also known as a rip, even if it is a recording of a movie made in a movie theater with a video camera.

This means that rip and copying audiovisual material without permission, may have legal consequences and is considered a form of piracy.

What is a CAMRip?

The CAMRip, cam rip Or simply cam, refers to the audiovisual digital file that has been captured in a cinema.

Generally, this type of recording is done through the use of a video camera, either a high-quality one or the one found on lower-quality recording devices, such as a smartphone camera (smartphone).

The quality of this type of audiovisual file is shortas the recording conditions (the movie theater) are not suitable. In addition, image capture also depends on the attributes of the recording device and the camera remains static during recording. The audio is captured in the theater itself by the same recording device, adding any noise or sounds from the environment.

A CAMRip is distributed when no DVD / Blu-Ray has been officially released, nor has the transmission or streaming of a particular movie.

The capture made to produce the CAMRip is about a illegal practice, due to copyright and commercial rights of audiovisual works.

Characteristics of a CAMRip

• It is done by capturing the video and audio of a film during its projection in a movie theater with a portable device.
• The file to be distributed is recoded to facilitate its distribution.
• The resolution of the produced file may vary, but its visual quality is independent of the recording quality of the capture device.
• It is generally available prior to the release of the DVD, Blu-Ray, or the transmission of the movie.
• Both video and audio are of low quality.

What is an HDTS?

The HDTS is a file that has been recorded during the projection of an audiovisual medium, generally in a cinema during a movie showing.

The acronym in English HDTS or High Definition Telesync, can be translated in Spanish as ‘high quality telesynchronized’, and refer to the fact that both audio as video have been captured by HD devices separately, then being synchronized.

Video is sourced from a high definition recorder, while audio is captured directly from a connection to the sound projection device in the theater, or to headphone jacks located in the seating.

The quality of the audio is much better than what would be obtained if the audio had been recorded from the ambient sound of the theater, since only the audio of the film is captured in high quality.

A high definition camera is used to carry out the recording, often mounted on a tripod or some stabilizer.

As with the CAMRip, the ripping HDTS in movie theaters is illegal and the projections are protected by copyright and commercial rights.

On many occasions, the name of an audiovisual file appears as with the extension ".DVDRip", but this does not mean that it is in a DVD format, but rather that the file was extracted from a DVD.

When making a rip or digital extraction, the information of the original file is compressed, facilitating its accessibility and distribution. Also, it is possible to combine different media on the DVDRip. This allows the DVDRip to have both audio files, such as video and subtitles. The extras that come on the original DVD are almost never added to the DVDRip.

Being a digital extraction of a DVD, a DVDRip usually presents better quality than HDTS and CAMRip.

As for its legality, producing a DVDRip is not always an illegal act, although this depends on the specific jurisdiction. However, the distribution of DVD content, in the form of DVDRip, is commonly punished.

Features of a DVDRip

What is BDRip?

A BDRip it is a file extracted from a disk Blu-ray and that is generally recoded or compressed. It is common for it to be in high definition, with resolutions of 720p and 1080p.

It is better than DVDRip in quality, but it also takes up more space when stored, due to its size. The compression of the file is not always carried out towards a high definition resolution, being able to go from 1080p to lower resolutions, for example, 480p.

As with DVDRip, BDRip files contain different types of media, extracted from the original Blu-Ray file or added to it. The original Blu-Ray data is large, so it takes up a lot of space. Hence, for distribution, the BDRip are recoded and go through a compression process.

As with the DVDRip, the actual production of a BDRip is not always prohibited, but its distribution or marketing is prohibited.

Characteristics of a BDRip

• It's a rip real, the result of capturing the audiovisual content of a Blu-Ray, using a program to extract the digital information from it.
• The original Blu-Ray has already been officially launched in some market.
• It is recoded to reduce the size of the original Blu-ray, which makes it easier to distribute.

What is an HDTVRip?

A HDTV (High Definition TV) or high quality television refers to the signal sent from some analog service (cable or normal television) or digital, as well as the device that receives it (TV).

The recording of this type of file is carried out through a device connected to a television set or captures the signal from a digital or satellite transmission, such as a recording and conversion box digital.

Even if the HDTV signal is of high quality, the HDTVRip may present a different quality, due to the compression of the file to reduce its size.

In general, these files offer better quality than DVDRip and BDRip. The resolution and quality are high, reaching 2160p (4k), considered as ultra high definition (UHD, for its acronym in English).

The legality of this type of recording depends on the jurisdiction. Its distribution and commercialization, however, is forbidden in many markets.

Features of an HDTVRip

• The source is a television broadcast, analog or digital.
• The capture can be done through a computer, a TV capture device, a USB video card and specific recording boxes for it, among others.

What is a WEBRip?

The WEBRip is a file that results from the extraction of audiovisual content from a transmission of an online service or a streaming. These are generally series and movies in high definition. The WEBRip file is compressed, which reduces its size and facilitates its distribution.

The capture of the WEBRip is carried out by means of the personal computer, a capture card or a box of digital recording, during the reproduction of the original audiovisual medium (a series on Netflix, for example).
