This is TTD's policy because a VCD is the video equivalent of mp3. We are trying to maintain standards here, it does not matter that it is DVD compliant. Many CD players can now play mp3s but we still don't allow them here. Same thing for VCDs. Not sure how much clearer this can be.

You may think these standards are arbitrary and wrong but they are there for a reason. If you have a problem with that then take your torrent over to thepiratebay or something.

Not my torrent. Doesn't anyone here have the ability to construct a valid
thought? A DVD produced from any compliant file IS A FUCKING DVD.
Any MPEG video is lossy and would qualify as the "equivalent of mp3".

What I have a problem with is the wording of your rule. The torrent as
uploaded was produced as a DVD. Change your wording to read:

"Only DVDs produced from MPEG-2 files will be allowed here."

But wait! What about these other evil DVD compliant files???

NTSC:
352 × 480 pixels MPEG-2 (Called Half-D1, same as the China Video Disc standard)
352 × 240 pixels MPEG-2

Your rule is arbitrary. Period.

Take your attitude over to www.gofuckyourself.com. Not sure how much clearer this can be.
