The turnaround from screen to home media has gotten short enough to where it’s fine to wait for a high quality version. Cams were good in the 80s when you bought the VHS tapes from some dude selling them out of a box down in the subway. Though the odds of brining home a blank were pretty good!
Telesync, maybe
I’d rather wait for at least a 1080 webrip than to suffer through the cruddy audio and visuals of a cam. Heck, I don’t even like going to the theatre, why would I pretend to do that in 480p with early 2000’s cellphone audio?
They look like crap, I won’t watch them.
Same and I have pretty much have no opinion outside of that.
I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn’t but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.
So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.
😮never thought about the archive function of CAM releases
Reminds me of the good ol’ days in the 90s. Watching cam recordings and people standing up or taking loudly the entire movie.
Haven’t watched a cam recording in decades. Don’t plan on doing that again.
Usually I hate them, but there’s this deadpool vs wolverine cam edited on my private tracker. It has blown me away. I swear if I didnt know it was a cam I wouldn’t have guessed
Don’t listen to this weed smoking wanker. Their copy is half French and half sign language in Korean.
Isnt that how all movies are deafblindFrenchKoreantorrents.ru tells me thats all there is
I have no idea. I throw money in a burn barrel in front of movie studios and they mail me direct to laserdisc masterpieces.
No thanks
Eh, I’ll wait for a better version.
Hats off to those who do it. I don’t need to see things when they’re new, so I will generally just wait until there’s a home release or streaming rip. I’m not a 4k guy or whatever, I’m down with DVD quality or worse, I still wanna see it in a better format than a cam. But there’s clearly people who want it, so I’m glad people are out there doing the work.
it’s y’all not ya’ll
Ya’ll grammar police need to chill
If you’re going to be using Black American culture, you should at least try do it right.
And, no, it’s not just English. This was popularized through Black Southerners.
Just to be sure, I mispelled it on purpose in reply to @pudcollar@hexbear.net
Clever.
It’s probably a typo
All of them have really bad audio and as such, they’re completely useless.
Even TS releases?
The audio of a TS is captured with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater).
TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I’ve seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cam with subtitles available.
I cannot fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to such utter horror.
Like it doesn’t exist for me. Same for MD
