updated on the 06/01/2018

Soundtracks:

AC-3, DTS, TrueHD, DTS-HD, PCM, ATMOS, EAC3, FLAC

For non-French-language films, Full and Remux must be in Multi therefore contain at least the Original Version, the French Version and the complete French subtitles (if they exist).

The encodes (BluRay 1080p / 720p & mHD 1080p) may contain only the French version but this must remain an exception for 1080P BluRay (we prefer that they are multi VO + VF *)

A non-French speaking VO without complete FR subtitles will not be accepted (except concert or film without dialogue).

The soundtrack (s) must be the one (s) of the blu-ray.
x264: Transcoding a TrueHD soundtrack to DTS-HD MA (or DTS in some cases) is the only change allowed.
x265: In order to reduce the size of the MKV file, the downmix of HD (TrueHD, DTS-HD MA) soundtrack to DTS is allowed.
mHD: Transcoding the BluRay soundtrack (DTS, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD) to AC-3 640 Kbps is allowed
The AC3 core (included in the TrueHD) in addition to the TrueHD soundtrack is allowed.
AC3 core (TrueHD extract) only is allowed for 720p only.

Exceptionally,
the staff may grant on a case-by-case basis the use of a VF soundtrack from a DVD (and not a Web-DL) if the following conditions are met:
- the film never came out with VF in BluRay and is not planned for release soon.
- the movie was released over 18 months ago in BluRay.
- the added soundtrack must be the VF and must be perfectly synchronized.
- the VF soundtrack from the DVD must be untouched (unencrypted) and thus keep the original quality.
- The NFO must specify the source of the VF
These releases will be removed from the site if the film is later released in BR with VF.


Any publication of a release with Soundtrack from a DVD without prior authorization request to the staff will be automatically deleted.
