Talk:Cam (bootleg)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think it's no longer a stub 212.143.17.66

ARticle claims that xivd is most common for Cam releases untrue svcd or VCD is more common. Search nfoforce.nl for cam and see how few are xvid.Cartoonborg 14:48, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The editor/creator of this page might be living in the US/UK, and to be very honest, XviD/DivX is the most common from my... "experience." Refer to the common Bittorrent releases/ers, I see the majority is XviD-encoded, but only a few are in VCD .iso/.bin-.cue format.TinFoil

[edit] History

This article completely disregards the important history to "camming". Long before DVD's and file transfers were even a twinkle in Al Gore's eye, camming a movie from a cinema screen and selling it on blank vhs tapes on the street corner was the ONLY way to get pirated movies. This page focuses only on cammings place in the past few years. Wikipedia has only been popular for the past few years, so it makes sense that the pages here were written around what happened in these recent years, but in the interest of factuality and special interest it makes sense to actually go into the more real roots and history of camming as a practice.

[edit] Can't people just wait for the movie to come out!?
