General:
. Release size must be at 4.3-4.37 Gb unless source is DVD5.
. PAL after NTSC and NTSC after PAL is allowed.
Video:
. Re-encoding:
. CCE version 2.50+ or must be used in all
circumstances where transcoding (re-encoding) of the video
stream is required. REmpeg and TMPGenc are NOT allowed.
New unknown or unreleased encoders are not strictly
forbidden, however use at your own risk.
. Automated Programs that perform DVD9>DVD5 rips are
FORBIDDEN, e.g. InstanCopy, DVDXCopy, DVDShrink etc.
. Minimum average bitrate allowed is 3000 kbit/s
(2800 kbit/s for tv shows). If minimum average bitrate
cannot be achieved, a valid explanation is required in
the NFO.
. TV-DVDR does not need to be deinterlaced.
. Quality Settings:
. CCE:
. No CBR. Multipass is to be enforced.
. The initial 1st pass that encodes the .vaf file
in CCE is NOT considered within the multipass set.
. The number of passes required for a movie is to be
determined by the final avg bitrate. Under
4,000k/s 6+ passes required, over 4,000k/s
5 passes are required.
Audio:
. Dolby Digital is considered the standard audio format and is
required in all releases that contain this audio format.
. DVDs that contain only PCM audio are allowed and should
be noted in the NFO.
. Downsampling of audio tracks, except audio commentary is
banned. No downsampling of any other tracks.
. If audio is stripped from a DVD9 disk, superior audio tracks
need to be kept. e.g. If a DVD contained DD2.0 and DD5.1
audio, DD2.0 would be stripped in favor to 5.1. However in
regards to DVDs that contain both DTS and 5.1, 5.1 must be
kept. The inclusion of a DTS stream is up to the ripper's
discretion.
. For non-English movies, the movie's original language audio
stream must be kept unless it is not contained in the retail.
In the circumstances that a reissue/new edition dvd contains
an original language audio stream, a re-release of the movie
is valid.
. For ALL English movies, the English audio stream MUST be kept.
. The inclusion of other audio streams will be based upon the
ripper's discretion, whether they are foreign or commentary.
Notes: DTS/SUPERBIT/DTS-ONLY are issues that cannot be ignored.
However, it is not up to us to decide whether they should
be allowed or not. Rather, it's up to the SITES that will
determine their own appropriate rules. However, those
groups that wish to release DTS, SUPERBIT and/or DTS-ONLY
should name their directory clearly with the appropriate
tags of DTS, SUPERBIT and/or DTS-ONLY.

Source:
. Releases of superior/remastered editions of previous released
DVDs are ALLOWED as they improve upon the initial release.
e.g. If a new mastered DVD contains a 5.1 stream compared
to an inferior stream in the previous release, the
release is considered valid.
. Mastered DVDs of: Director's Cut, Criterion, Unrated or any
editions with additional/extended scenes are not considered
dupes over existing mastered DVDs.
. The DVD to be ripped should also be the best available edition
on the market.
Authoring:
. NO ONE CLICK APPS ARE TO BE USED! e.g. InstanCopy, DVDXCopy,
DVDShrink etc. Anything else like Scenarist and Maestro are
acceptable so long as newly reauthored DVDR plays as original does.
. VTS Sectors must always be gotten.
Subtitles:
. Keep them all. If certain subs present a problem, it is the
rippers discretion to retain.
. Closed Captioning must be retained if no subtitles are present on
the source disc, and if CC are present.
Menus:
. Menus MUST be included. In extreme cases where the retail does
not contain a menu, it must be mentioned in the NFO.
. The menu must be in English and not foreign, unless they
are aimed for non-English endusers.
. Removing useless links within the menu is required. If you
remove something, disable or remove the button.
. If all else is stripped and still can't get a 3000k/s avg
bitrate, then the menu may be reencoded at a minimum of
3000k/s avg.
Extras:
. Extras are an added value but are not needed. Extras are
allowed to be transcoded @ ripper's discretion.
. A minimum of 5 passes for extras is required.
DVD Limitations:
. Macro vision must be removed.
. All user limitations and restrictions must be removed.
. Releases must be made region free.
. Any new unmentioned copy protection that comes out( ie: ARcoSS) must be stripped.
