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?
If I want to see a movie so badly, I'd rather go to the cinema rather than watch a low-quality camrip.
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.
Look for deadpool vs wolverine cam/TS v2 has subtitles and its actually a good cam. I didnt believe til I watched it
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.
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.
Back in the early days, watching a cammed movie was tolerable because the 480p rips that we'd otherwise get were so heavily compressed that there'd be hardly any step up in quality. It was also usually the fastest way I could find a new movie.
These days, releases get leaked from inside the studio all the time, at full quality, so there's not really any legitimate need for cammed movies anymore.
I would not say "all the time" at least the movies I watch, but it is mostly only some months (if even) until a movie is available on some streaming service and gets ripped in 4k
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.
I have no idea. I throw money in a burn barrel in front of movie studios and they mail me direct to laserdisc masterpieces.
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.
WHY WERE THEY FILMED SO BEAUTIFUL
WHY WERE THEY FILMED AT ALL
THEY'RE NO FUCKING USE TO ANYONE
THEY'RE NO FUCKING USE AT ALL
Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.
I'm not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.
