Stream captured live music video webcasts are allowed

Live music video webcasts are typically allowed here provided they are stream captures with no re-encoding. Post only content that is free to view.

The exception to re-encoding would be with (mostly) lossless editors like Videoredo that only re-encode at the edit points.

Webcasts from Youtube are not typically allowed because the quality is poor, but there are exceptions. Youtube live streams are ok as they usually increase the video bitrate back to what it was in 2013-2015. Youtube webcast captures that were done in 2013 to 2015 are also sometimes ok (Youtube had 2 to 4 times higher bitrate back then).

Remuxes are ok- like a lossless conversion of .ts to .mp4, .mpg, or .mkv.

Screen recording (OBS or equiv.) is not allowed because of the quality loss when it is re-encoded.

When posting the lineage, please use the words "stream capture" with the name of the software used. Some software has both "stream capture" and "screen recording" modes available. Be sure to use stream capture and note that in your lineage. Include the parameters you used if possible.

This post overrides anything contradictory in the FAQ or posting guidelines.

Moderators,
Please don't be "trigger happy" to pull a post you believe may not be a stream capture. Mark the torrent Questionable and get a second opinion (from me if possible; I have 26 years of streaming video capture experience).
