In this case, PDTV refers not to container, bitrate or dimensions of the video, but the digital nature of the capture source. Non Scene European rippers often use the label DVBRip or ''DVB-rip'' to specify a purely digital rip of a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB), however all Scene groups use standardized labeling. ''PDTV'' encompasses a broad array of capture methods and sources, but generally it involves the capture of SD or non- HD digital television broadcasts without any analog-to-digital conversion, instead relying on directly ripping MPEG streams.

Just as with Freeview (DVB-T) in the United Kin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
