What do ya'll think of camming (filming newly released films)?

They look like crap, I won't watch them.

I’d rather wait, or pay to see it in a theatre. Every time.

I'd rather wait for at least a 1080 webrip than to suffer through the cruddy audio and visuals of a cam. Heck, I don't even like going to the theatre, why would I pretend to do that in 480p with early 2000's cellphone audio?

If I want to see a movie so badly, I'd rather go to the cinema rather than watch a low-quality camrip.

All of them have really bad audio and as such, they're completely useless.

Eh, I'll wait for a better version.

I cannot fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to such utter horror.

Patience is a virtue

Reminds me of the good ol' days in the 90s. Watching cam recordings and people standing up or taking loudly the entire movie.

Haven't watched a cam recording in decades. Don't plan on doing that again.

I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn't but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.

So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.

Like it doesn't exist for me. Same for MD

Not worth the storage space. I'll wait for digital/physical release.

Back in the early days, watching a cammed movie was tolerable because the 480p rips that we'd otherwise get were so heavily compressed that there'd be hardly any step up in quality. It was also usually the fastest way I could find a new movie.

These days, releases get leaked from inside the studio all the time, at full quality, so there's not really any legitimate need for cammed movies anymore.

No thanks

Well, its the thought that counts I guess

WHY WERE THEY FILMED SO BEAUTIFUL

WHY WERE THEY FILMED AT ALL

THEY'RE NO FUCKING USE TO ANYONE

THEY'RE NO FUCKING USE AT ALL

Hats off to those who do it. I don't need to see things when they're new, so I will generally just wait until there's a home release or streaming rip. I'm not a 4k guy or whatever, I'm down with DVD quality or worse, I still wanna see it in a better format than a cam. But there's clearly people who want it, so I'm glad people are out there doing the work.

Usually I hate them, but there's this deadpool vs wolverine cam edited on my private tracker. It has blown me away. I swear if I didnt know it was a cam I wouldn't have guessed

Telesync, maybe

Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.

I'm not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.

I have watched them but usually I wait for HD.

What do I think of cams?

RIP DVDSCR's

it's y'all not ya'll

I feel bad because someone paid for a ticket and sat there filming for 90 minutes but I can't stand them.

The turnaround from screen to home media has gotten short enough to where it’s fine to wait for a high quality version. Cams were good in the 80s when you bought the VHS tapes from some dude selling them out of a box down in the subway. Though the odds of brining home a blank were pretty good!

considering a lot of the slop people really want to watch is focused on hi def production and special effects I don't even understand how it still exists

People still do this?
