R5 (bootleg)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

R5 refers to a specific format of DVD released in the Former-Soviet Union, which is in DVD Region 5.

In an effort to compete with movie piracy, the movie industry chose to create a new format for DVD releases that could be produced more quickly and less expensively than traditional DVD releases. R5 releases differ from normal releases in that they are usually a direct Telecine transfer of the film without any of the image processing common on DVD releases, and without any special features. This allows the film to be released for sale at the same time that DVD Screeners are released. Since DVD Screeners are the chief source of high-quality pre-DVD release pirated movies[citation needed], this allows the movie studios to beat the pirates to market. Bootlegged copies of these releases are often distributed on the Internet via torrent sites.
