It is not worth saying that in the vastness of our country there are not many people who prefer to buy films. And the point here is not even that all of them are so passionate about violating copyright laws. It’s just that the income of the overwhelming number of users is such that they have no choice but to use illegal copies.
It’s just that when a new movie appears on the network, releases contain a lot of information, for the most part, the average user can’t figure it out on his own. Take, for example, TS quality. This phrase is constantly found in releases of new paintings, but what does this "Chinese letter" mean?
In fact, there is nothing complicated here. The fact is that under this definition, films that are filmed in a movie theater on a camera are distributed. But do not rush to be indignant! These are far from those terrible crafts that we all remember from pirated DVDs: interspersed with interference, dark, completely unsuitable for viewing. The fact is that TS quality is obtained when a video camera is placed in an empty hall of the cinema, on which what is happening is recorded on the screen.
Since a tripod is used in this case, the image sometimes comes out of fairly high quality. However, the quality of the output product is also facilitated by the fact that sound in most cases is recorded from the sound output of professional equipment.
Of course, the quality of a full-fledged DVD (not to mention the more advanced formats) is far away, however, you can already watch a movie. True, the quality of TS most likely will not allow you to enjoy fast and dynamic scenes, because in most cases the image will still be somewhat blurry.
It must be remembered that negligent users often give their shots in a crowded movie theater as TS (which do not even reach the normal CAM). In general, films of this quality are quite rare, because to shoot them you need to be (at least) an employee of the cinema, and even have unlimited access to the room. Most often, “TS quality” in the distribution means only that the person who made the banal “screen” just worked a little with various filters, after which the “masterpiece” began to look a little better.
In addition, even in the case of a normal vehicle, it is often possible to observe a poor-quality and blurry picture. This happens when the operator is in a hurry and for reasons of conspiracy poorly sets up the equipment. As a result, the footage was slightly better than the copy hastily shot by an ordinary cinema visitor.
So, is it worth using the TS format for home movie watching? If you are a person of rare impatience, then it’s worth it. If quality is more important to you, then it is better to go to the cinema or wait for better rips. Moreover, in modern conditions, disks with legal copies of films appear quickly. Just as quickly they make "casts" that can be found on the network the very next day after the premiere.
In short, if you have a luxurious plasma display at home, then TS quality is not for you. Better wait for better copies!
