P2P Filename Suggestions/Ideas

P2P Blu-ray Filename Ideas

All of these are ideas to improve the Blu-ray P2P filenaming landscape.
None of these are particularly used yet apart from maybe my own releases or a handful of other people who had the same idea.

If you need current P2P filename rules, go to https://phoeniix.dev/filenames.

Discs

We should use a capacity nomenclature in place of what's typically the "Source Tag" (i.e. where WEB-DL or BluRay would be). For example:

  • a single disc release that is 25GB capacity: BD25

  • a two-disc release and both are 25GB: 2xBD25

  • a five-disc release, with 4x being BD25 and one being BD50: 4xBD25 BD50 (ordered in highest total first)

  • Note: Resolution is NOT specified with this suggestion. 1080p/i would be implied.

  • For Ultra-HD Blu-rays, use UBD instead of BD.

  • For SD on BD Blu-rays, use SDBD instead of BD.

This idea is already done for DVDs, and should be done for Blu-ray as well.

Encodes

  • (Resolution) e.g. 1080p
  • (Source) i.e. BD

This is almost what is already done by groups except they use BluRay or Blu-ray instead of BD, and some put the Resolution after the Source Tag.

Remuxes

Do what encodes do, but add the REMUX tag to the end of the filename (before the Tag).
The REMUX tag should be after all other tags for readability and grammar. E.g., HYBRID.REMUX not REMUX.HYBRID.
This is almost what is already done by groups like FraMeSToR except they use BluRay or Blu-ray instead of BD.

Why not BluRayRip or BDRip or BRRip

This already has decades of use under mucky definitions that conflict against each other. Some say they are encodes of a Blu-ray encode (as in, an encode of an encode), and some say they are just a Blu-ray encode (from Disc or Remux). The terminology was reused again with WEBRip which has the latter definition, which is a whole nother thing to tackle.

It's literally just a web of confusion.

This gist is now exclusively a "ideas" gist. If you want info on P2P filenames, head to https://phoeniix.dev/filenames which actually has proper p2p/scene/framestor filename systems in a nice web app.
