10. No Reauthored DVDs are allowed.
We do not allow any reauthored DVDs to be seeded. This includes any DVD9>DVD5 reauthors. Please seed the DVDs in the original released form. Once you download the show, you may do what you want to it, but please don't trade/share your reauthored DVDs here.


Re-authoring does not change anything when making a DvD.The mpeg structure stays the same as it was before it was ,if you see what i mean.
You are only building the info of the mpeg solely so that the player knows the score when it goes to play it.
Where all the chapters are etc.
Supposing i get a DvD in a trade & it has 5 minute chapters at incorrect positions and no menu.Well that would be re-authored to put them in,but the content stays the same.

Surely you mean No Transcoding ie :re-compressed like DvD Shrink does...Not Re-authored i feel

K_K

just want to clarify for others who might read this, yer correct re: transcoding, however this does occur sometimes when re-authoring if someone doesn't really know what they're are doing...

in layman's terms--there are two ways of re-authoring, one which does not include re-compression [which is what you're describing]...the other way includes re-compressing, and is considered a no-no here...

even when it comes to a SA recording that needs menus/chapters, it can be done either way--all we ask is whoever does the re-author know what they're doing so as not to compress again

if anything, i'm glad this thread is leading to some revisions in our FAQ/Rules...clarifying the wording is always a good thing
