When downloading content from Usenet using the binaries. The content will usually come as a image most images are ISO meaning you can burn the straight to CD and use them in your computer. The majority of pre-release movies will be svcd (Super Video Compact Disc) this is the main format for these movies. These formats mean you can squeeze a complete movie onto a 700mb Blank CD. An average movie will be in 50 Rar files and around 20 par files. Each file being 10 mb - 15 mb. A SVCD is the preferred format although the quality is not the same as the DVD groups consider the size difference. A DVD rip could be as much as 5.5 GB that’s huge and takes some downloading even on a T1 line. The reason the DVD rips will be bigger than an actual DVD 3.5 GIG is because after you download the DVD repair the file because of the size your much more likely to get CRC errors. Then extract the file you have to then compact the image compress it so it fits on a smaller DVD only if you aren’t mounting the image onto a virtual drive.

           

As SVCD’s are preferred because of size you don’t have to burn the image to a CD most new DVD players will play SVCD’s but most prefer to mount the SVCD image on a virtual DVD player. Doing this means you can view the Video without the rigmarole of burning the image onto CD and wasting time and money. Virtual drives are the preferred method for viewing movies on-line. Some pre-release movies have been engineered in such a way that they can only be viewed using a virtual drive. The format makes it difficult near impossible to change onto a generic DVD that will play on any DVD player. This is often to stop small time players downloading form Usenet and converting to DVD to sell on the black market. You need to really know what you are doing in order to transfer some on the titles to a generic DVDS and often is just not worth the time and effort.

Often the best method for viewing the latest releases is to download the SVCD a 700mb file then after downloading and repairing mounting the image on a virtual drive then using windows media player to view. Trying to convert the file to work on a DVD and convert to a format like mpeg11 is sometimes not worth the 10 - 12 hours work. You could set your Usenet reader to download the files at nite then the next day you can repair and mount within 10 - 20 minutes.

           

Virtual Drives are easy to install and there are a number of software titles that will allow you to set up virtual drives. The most popular title for using on Usenet is Alcohol 120% this software also makes images as well. The majority of pre-release films on the net use Alcohol so the only way to view and mount the image is through using Alcohol. It isn’t a free title but is a very powerful piece of software and is not just used for Films often many software titles images are made via Alcohol hence you need Alcohol to view or burn the image. Undoubtedly Alcohol is integral to any Usenet user.
