Scene or Non-Scene

[brento]

What do you download more, scene or non-scene?
Just curious.
I download roughly 85% non-scene (mainly movies) and 15% scene (games and TV) I'd say.

Movies - Make up most of what I download. 99.9% of the time non-scene
Music - Pretty much all non-scene since I like to download in FLAC
Games - Pretty much always scene, but occasionally non-scene
Apps - Mostly scene
TV - Always scene
XXX - Always scene

[cinephilia]

i'd say that ~95% of my downloads are non scene (films & music).

[lisabritpop]

TBH,I just grap whatever i like regardless of whether scene or not.

...hmmmm non-scene most

[Lucifer9999]

tv series 100% scene!! rest of stuff depends on many factors: quality, source, name of the group, encode!!

[1000possibleclaws]

new movies and all (most) tv shows are scene. Games scene if available. everything else is most likely not scene.

[cap87]

Lately i grab mostly scene.

[Something Else]

Movies. 99% Non-scene.
TV, about 50%
Apps, Games, around 80% scene.

[Tokeman]

I think a majority of what I grab now is non-scene, but usually for movies and games, its scene.

If I have a choice I go for the higher quality, which varies from release to release

[Bad-Day]

Music is always non-scene.

The rest does not matter.

[respawn40]

Games are almost always scene.
I would say that half of the movie I grab are scene, and half are non-scene (although this is slowly changing, as I've decided that I prefer the quality of non-scene).
Music is almost always non-scene.
Applications are almost always scene.

[NSMB]

Movies - almost always non-scene HD releases,used to dl alot of scenereleases but changed now.
music - fifty - fifty i'd say.
TV - mostly non-scene highres-rips or 1080i.
Everything else - almost always scene

[TrollinThunder]

Most of what I download is video and most of that is scene eventually.

[iLOVENZB]

Movies - Non-scene, I usually check samples for p2p releases, but prefer p2p over scene.
TV - Scene
Games - Depends who releases it first, Usually scene because I know it will work.
Apps - Scene or who releases it first. Unknow3n usually release AnyDVD before scene.
Music - Usually scene.

[Hombre]

Games - scene exclusively Movies - xvid are always scene, HD mostly non-scene Apps - always scene music - normally scene tv - always scene so all i download that is not scene is hd movies.

[S!X]

Pretty much all scene

[n00bz0r]

Music = always non scene.
Movies = Partly non scene (rare ones are definitely non scene)
Appz = scene
Games = scene

[IdolEyes787]

I download stuff that seems interesting .:idunno:

[KushBlow]

Movies und shows - Scene!

Games - Scene! Sometimes non-scene (if CLONEDVD is non-scene?)

Music - No clue

Apps - Homemade cracks/keygens ftw!

[megabyteme]

I've never turned my nose up at a release one way or the other, but I have to say I really appreciate the work that is done for specific sites. TL comes to mind- they have some really dedicated people (I don't want to leave anyone out) who gather the available resources and then upload them to that specific site. Ofc, these releases get spread out to other sites, but I find it nice to be able to thank the guys who did the work, personally.

Maybe it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's kinda like homemade cookies vs store bought. It's nice to know [whatever it was] was made for you. :)

[The_Martinator]

75% of the stuff I DL is non-scene (movies and music), the rest is scene (some games, TV episodes and even some movies released by the scene).

Well of course I've also DLed a non-scene released game.

[captive]

scene for everything normally, scene rules can be a bit bogus at times with the nukes and such, but for me the rip rules they have etc. mean the quality of tv, x264 and mp3 are alot better

[thx525]

arent scene releses size specific rather than quality specific?

[Funkin']

The music I grab is usually almost always 100% non scene.
Then I get a few non scene films here and here.
Then some scene(usually) games and tv.

So I would say probably 90% or more of what I download is non scene.

[iLOVENZB]

arent scene releses size specific rather than quality specific?

Yes, for instance 720p BluRay rips are usually 1DVD size. Animations are usually well below ~2GB

[Something Else]

It seems like people get the content they really care about in non-scene flavour. That's because scene releases are generally preview quality.

I presume you're referring to the non-scene groups that releases there.
A couple of other, smaller sites concentrate even more on that than T-Leech. You're right. Don't forget about them. :smilie4:

[TP635]

movies: 50-50; my CG download are all non-scene
music: 60-40 in favor of non-scene
apps: mostly scene
elearning: scene groups don't do much of this; mostly non-scene.

[cinephilia]

Music is always non-scene.

The rest does not matter.
it does matter (for me at least) since 98% of scene releases are crappy mainstream films.

[captive]

arent scene releses size specific rather than quality specific?

they are both, but the specific size regulates the quality, along with certain codecs and the quality of the audio.

keeping the file size up makes sure that a dvd of a certain length is not ripped to 1 cd in size making the quality suffer.

thats why say a 1h30min film could be ripped to 1 cd but when you get to i think its about 1h40-50 mins it will jump to 2 cd.

you often see non-scene groups ripping them to 1cd to make downloading them easier but for me the quality suffers.

Uhm, I know that's your opinion, but not all mainstream films are crappy, IMO. As long as you're not DLing the latest movies only, there's a whole lot of great mainstream movies.

ghey...you clearly dunno your scene as you are supposed to.E-learning material gets pred as much as near spam levels.P2P only refuses to tag them as scene.

[IdolEyes787]

it does matter .

:noes:

[cinephilia]

well, i myself watch some mainstream films from time to time (for entertainment mostly) but let's face it, most of them are pure crap.

[Swepsycho]

Yep, but sometimes it's entertaining to watch crap. Watched Masters of the universe yesterday and it was great (laughing wise). Non scen rip, tho, but I think the movie was mainstream...

[IdolEyes787]

Courtney Cocks ( and Dolph Lundgren) ftw.


I think there may be something wrong with me I didn't even have to look that up.:unsure:

Haha. I agree.

[krisil]

scene movies are crap .. scene still relies on xvid , which , for me is a dead codec . mkv delivers much better quality in similar size ... so most of the movies i download are non scene .

[oxxo]

In my case:
Movies - 100% time non-scene (HD)
Music - 100% non-scene since (FLAC)
Games - Almost always scene.
Apps - Mostly scene
TV - scene for TV rips / non scene for Blu-ray/DVD rips
XXX - scene&non-scene

[brento]

Well you enjoy your Xvid bro. I'll be enjoying my DVD-R's and BDRips :)

[n00bz0r]

aXXo FTW!



not :lol:

[arctic]

95% scene, music only.

[pone44]

That is what you get for downloading at TPB. I appreciate both scene and non scene for their efforts. What they bring to a site, the risk.

[Yoann64]

Movie or Music: Depends if i want to keep or it's just to watch (or listen) one time.
Appz, TV, and Game : 90% scene.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

99% scene here... i try to collect the most scene stuff i can
sumtimes i don't know why :doh:
But i watch all my movies though...

[exorsist]

i download 50-50

[iLOVENZB]

BDRips? They can use the codec XviD too :P

[(I)]

95% scenes, even movies, for some reason I trust the scene, but the new non-scene groups really proofed useful

[cinephilia]

non-scene doesn't necessarily mean "non-scene groups".
for example, 98% of KG content is non-scene, and most of the rips are done by members themselves.

[whoratio]

99% Non-Scene (everything but the occasional app/game)

[f5ZB40]

i don't care about scene or not as long as it's what i'm looking for.

[IdolEyes787]

Change my vote to I would prefer to never download anything scene .
Or at least until I meet a scener who isn't a complete dick. Or Hell freezes over .
Whichever comes first.
