Is “reloaded” synonymous with “repack”?

No, RELOADED (rld) is a release group. See the List of Scene Release Groups.

For example, “Assassins.Creed.REPACK-RELOADED” is a REPACK by RELOADED.

What does “DSR” mean?

DSR – Digital Stream Rip (used to be digital satellite rip) Now refers to ALL 480i digital stream captures (no analog)) Can be Fullscreen OR Widscreen, where widescreen will usually be labeled WS.DSR

I’ve noticed the FESTIVAL tag popping up recently. I’m assuming it’s regarding the source, but do they mean the normal quality copy that’s being projected, or the low quality (but typically on a dvd already) copy that the translator/subbers work with?

I would have thought that “DVD” or “CD” would be used if it was off a disk. I am not completely sure, but i’d say FESTIVAL meant recorded at the actual festival if i had to guess.

What context is it used in?

Movie releases, basically. I just remembered that it doesn’t replace the DVDRip tag in all these examples, so it’s probably not indicating the source format. My next best bet would be that it’s akin to the LIMITED tag, just providing some information/explanation about how widely distributed it is. Hm, some movies premier at a festival, so getting a copy then would be really beating the release in most countries. Others I’ve seen have a lot of success in their home country, and thus end up at other international film festivals. *shrugs* Just thinking it’s hard to conclude exactly what your average FESTIVAL tag would be telling you.

Best of luck puzzling this out!

I’m afraid i can’t help. I’ll make a new post for it, and see if anyone stumbles onto it!

What does “Festival” mean?

what does the FESTiVAL tag mean?

Read the comment above… post there if you’ve got any other questions relating to the FESTIVAL tag.. Cheers :)

TVRip: Recorded from analog TV, lowest quality of all TV rips

DSRip: Recorded from Digital Satellite, good quality rip

PDTV: Recorded from Pure Digital Source, but not HDTV. The quality is similar to a DSRip

HDTV: Recorded from a HDTV source. High video and sound quality. The video resolution is often 624×352, and the audio stream 128kb/s MP3

HR.HDTV: Best Quality There is. Recorded from a HDTV source. The video resolution is often around 960×540 which is half the size of the original HDTV broadcast. A 45 minute show is often 700MB instead of 350MB like the other releases.
