Screener

Screeners are films that journalists and critics, award juries or other people from the film industry (eg producers) to the view will be provided. An example is the annual Academy Awards, before the films from the Hollywood studios as a DVD will be mailed ( earlier than VHS ) to the members of the " Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ."

The term referred to in the warez scene and black copies of a film based on a screener. Often, these are marked with SCR or DVDSCR.

The quality is often reduced by the fact that the screener will be provided with black and white sections and / or information display texts of the Publisher. Often it also contains unfinished Green / blue screen scenes.

DVD Screener screeners are similar, their base is, however, a pre-release for the press DVD. Sound and picture quality are just like a normal DVD - Rip. It is, unlike screeners not contain more noise.

However, the image frames are partially fitted with invisible, unique watermark that allow assignment to a primary receiver, and therefore the exact location of the flaw in the distribution, if an illegal copy of the work appearing in the warez scene.
