new wolverine crap
cool lol seen all of them very good!!!
terminator salvation should be there!!
Wtf everytime you post this shit you post star trek and angels and demons as a telecine, their is NO telecine out for either of these films, telesync for star trek and cam for angels and demons but NO FUCKING TELECINE. NOOBS.
no R5 for push either….
Would be nice if they learnt the difference between telesync and telecine, as it is quite significant…
Crank: High Voltage sure is boring
The Horsemen – more like horse manure.
I like Dennis Quaid, but am I glad I didn’t pay good money to see that crap in a cinema.
There are no TELECINEs retards.
Lol at the + comments. Try saying what the difference is between the two. =|
try looking it up for yourself, this isnt a learning environment. if your here reading these stories you should be familiar with the terminology
telecines, wouldn’t that be nice… : )
Wow chill out Donald.. jeez.
And sohail20, idk if there is a release of this out yet.. could be wrong tho.
thanks ernesto!

They are NOT the same retards. A Telesync is a cam with direct (line) audio, and a telecine is a digital copy from the film reel.
This is the internet, saying “You’re wrong” and an insult gets you nowhere. If you want people to believe there’s a difference, you have to be the one to say it.
You’d think Torrentfreak would know the difference between a Telecine and a Telesync really, wouldn’t you?
Obviously they don’t.
Pls fix Telecine (TC) to Telesync (TS) because it gets my hopes up every week, and after a quick search i realize that there is just no TC of that movie
Wiki:
Telecine (pronounced /?t?l??s?ni/, /?t?l??s?ni/, /?t?l??s?n?/, /?t?l??si?n/) is the process of transferring motion picture film into video form. The term is also used to refer to the equipment used in the process.
Telecine enables a motion picture, captured originally on film, to be viewed with standard video equipment, such as televisions, video cassette decks or computers. This allows producers and distributors working in film to release their products on video and allows producers to use video production equipment to complete their film projects. The word “Telecine” is a combination of “television” and “cinema.” Within the film industry, it is also referred to as a TK, as TC is already used to designate time code.
Telesync is one of many terms used by movie bootleggers to describe the source material used to make bootlegged copies, normally distributed in Video CD, SVCD, DVD or DivX/Xvid format. It is commonly abbreviated “TS”.
A TS is a video copy of the movie which was shot in a movie theater, often with a professional camera on a tripod in the projection booth, with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM-band microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater). However, the true definition of Telesync would include the film being syncronised to the camera’s own frame capture rate (FPS) and shutter timing as done by television companies when preparing cellulose film for broadcast. Bootleg TS rarely, if ever, utilise this form of syncronisation which can lead to additional temporal aliasing.
A CAM is a video copy of a movie usually shot with a hand-held camera from a seat in the auditorium and uses the camera’s own built-in microphone to pick up the sound. Usually, the quality is quite poor.
A TS can be considered a higher quality type of CAM, that has the potential of better-quality audio and video.
As technology gets better, the quality of the telesyncs also gets better, though it should be noted that even the best telesyncs are lossy and will be inferior in quality to direct rips from BD, DVD or digital transfers from the film itself (see telecine). Although very few at the moment, some release groups use high-definition video cameras to get the clearest picture possible.
Everybody OK now?
hmm i’m alwas like whoaaa, “telecine of startrek is out!” only to find out that whoever is making this chart is a retard.
TorrentFreak collects the data which means they also collect any fake data to so there might be a whole bunch of tc movies out there but none of them are real, either that or torrentfreak doesnt know the difference
Its interesting that with all the downloading of X-Men Origins, you would think it would have done terrible at the box office … Well that’s what they were trying to say when the work print leaked.
Strange that it is the 3rd highest gross for 2009 (after 1 month) and well on its way to a place in the top 20 if not 10 of all time.
I am sure all the downloading cost them a number 1 spot … aren’t you..?
Damn, you got my hopes up for some TCs. I haven’t seen those in quite some time. Also it is sad that you don’t know the difference between TC and TS.
TC =! TS >.>
HURRRR DURRR
idk why people are crying about TS/TC.. everyone upset about it knows the difference so whats the big deal?
Wolverine – not bad, should of been better.
Telesync is when you rig up a professional camera in the cinema and record the audio from another source. Telecine is transfering motion picture into vid form. So a camera in a cinema is telesync and telecine by definition! Just to clear it up for you cocky 15yr olds.
telecine of StarTrek IS out. and when you film in the cinema with a camera and a professional source for audio is both telesync and telecine. Correct Above
I am a tard.
Telecine is DIRECT transfer. Ie reading right off the reel. Not being projected to a wall and then recorded. Besides, most TS these days are just CAMs with line audio >.> (no TS were held to a higher standard back then, don’t just say ALL TS ARE CAMS HURRRRR)
Haha! Telecine is not a telesync. lol.
I’m surprised TorrentFreak editors apparently don’t know the difference.
maybe by definition yes, but we are discussing release wise, not actual definition wise. Hell a CAM would be a telecine, since you’re transferring the video off the screen with the lens amirite? >.>
no
To # 32:
Yes
This is the bitchiest group of people I’ve ever seen.
There are no telecines of Star Trek or Angels and Demons out. There are only telesyncs. The difference between the 2 is HUGE. Telesync is cammed video with synced line audio. The video of a telecine is from the film reels actually being run through a telecine machine and digitally captured. Telecines are also incredibly rare since the machine required to capture the film is extremely expensive and typically only available to people inside the film industry.
C’mon, you guys should know the difference.
OMFG I think TF doesn’t read their comments because if they did they would stop getting our hopes up EVERY SINGLE FUCKING WEEK
To # 33:
No
