#
| [| |]|Hello |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|Q: Before starting is there anything you would like to tell us about you ? |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|A: We're people who want to give a choice for the users and we love our work. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| We greet all our contacts, friends and people downloading our releses. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|SR: Ok now back to the questions submitted by our readers :) |[| |] |
#
| [|-|]|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|[|-|] |
#
| [|w|]| |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: Where did you get the name "DEViSE"? |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|A: When we were trying to think of a name, we wanted to tell that we will have our own |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]| standards. That's the name really devise - to invent. |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]|Q: DEViSE, whats makes you bigger!, better! than all the other groups? |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]| Quality, Honesty, variety or Experience!? tell us your secret =) -Anthony |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]|A: We're not better. There are people who really know what they're doing. |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| For us this is not a competition, it's all about bringing the best quality possible |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]| to the people who are searching for it. |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]| |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]|Q: How many people "work" for devise ? |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: Enough to work peacefully and to do their job. |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]| |[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]|Q: Have you even encountered any legal problems ? |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: We haven't and we hope for this in the future. |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]|Q: I'd like to know which software do u use for the rips and for the filthers, thanks! |[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]|A: We do not use one program. It's more like a variety of programs. |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| For filtering vdub is doing a great job. |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]| |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]|Q: Have you always been a P2P grp, or were you on the scene and got banned? |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]|A: Our group is formed by several individuals some of us still have their connections |[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| with scene groups and activities, but as a group we have never been on the scene. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: What is the fastest way to access devise releases? |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| Where do you post your releases first? |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|A: We upload our releases first on our ftps. |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]| After that we post info in our blog and when we are ready, we upload in our |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| affliated sites. |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]| |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]|Q: I've been online 10 plus years, I'd like to hear what you think about our future now |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]| every man and his dog are online ? I mean with anti piracy agency's and isp's |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| worldwide seemingly trying to curb our freedom. What are our chances of a free for |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]| all on media releases via scene/p2p sources lasting. - The Nomad |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: The current state of the scene has no future in our opinion. |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]| p2p will increase it's popularity and will go in positive direction. |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]| Even now there is a scene in the scene, private scene in the scene by groups who do |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]| not want to profit from their releases. |[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]| In the "public scene" it's all about money and speed, that's why some private |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]| trackers earn points - the quality they stand for. |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]|Q: As TDX doesn't always keep with up with what is really happening in rls's |[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]| (getting a 2cd version and doing it right the first time, etc) where do you guys see |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| encoding standards going in the next 3 or 4 years ? |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]|A: There are no standards in p2p, it's almost all chaos, but for the scene it will |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]| always be about speed. |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]| Just look at the blu ray encodes..... |[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| In the next 3 - 4 years we hope that x264 will become the codec standard just like |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| xvid a few years back over divx. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: Why do you use the Internal tag? You're not a scene group! |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|A: Yea, it isn't for the racers, this is because people will know the releases aren't |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| meant for the public trackers like mininova, piratebay, etc.... |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]| From some time now, it's gone. |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]|Q: May I know your rls standards and the tools you used in ripping dvds? |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: The release standards is about the maximum quality that the source permits both in |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]| audio and video. |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]|Q: What is the best way for people in your field to stay secure from legal action? |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]| i.e. Keeping your tracks clear and services you may use. - DaFunks |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]|A: There is no way! We all know this isn't legal. |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]| The important thing is to know that our copies just give an idea for the final |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]| product. |[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]| If you like to watch movie several times - buy it. |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]| In the end if they aren't any developers - there is no piracy. |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]|Q: How do you see the P2P and Scene changing in the next 5 years? - DaFunks |[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]|A: Answered a few questions back. |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]|Q: How do you see the movie and game business adapting to groups like yourself in the |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]| next 10 years? - DaFunks |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]|A: There is again no way to adapt to piracy. |[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| There always will be someone who is pushing the limit of protection of the products. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: With the internet becoming open to everyone do you think the scene and groups like |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| yourself will move more and more underground? |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| Or do you think it will become more and more open? - DaFunks |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]|A: The groups will become more and more underground. |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| More people downloading the releases - more reason for that. |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]| |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]|Q: If you could talk one on one with the RIAA in a civil manor what would you say? |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]|A: When someone tells that something isn't worth downloading after they saw it/ |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| play it/ heard it. |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]| Do you imagine if they give money for that? The people from the industry want |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]| people's money these days, that's all. |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]| B-movies, crap games with good graphics and nothing more.... commercialisation. |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]| If you like a movie you'll - buy it, no matter how many pirate copies are spread. |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]| |[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]|Q: In your release of the Bourne movies each movie had a different resolution: |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]| The Bourne Identity - 720x304, AR 2,368:1 |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| The Bourne Supremacy - 736x304, AR 2,42:1 |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]| The Bourne Ultimatum - 720x288, AR 2,5:1 |[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]| Why would you rip them that way? Even if the original DVDs had those aspect ratios, |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| wouldn't it be better to set the standard to 720x304 for x264 rips and rip every |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]| movie in that resolution? - ikeaboy |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]|A: Different source - different resolutions |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]| It's the ripper's decision. |[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: Have you ever experienced something thrilling during getting your sources? |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|A: Yeah in some cases, but not all of the time. |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]|Q: Don't you think, now that most ppl have DVD burners and BluRay is on the doorsteps, |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| it is time to move on from the scene rule that all releases have to be divided up |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]| to fit on 1/2/3 CDs? |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: Yeah, that's why our x264 dvdrips are 1/3 dvd sizes, most of the time. |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]| Maybe the xvids will be too in the near future. |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]|Two suggestions from our readers, tell me what you think of them : |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]|Q1: Please add english subs as often as you can. |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]| I am from Romania,and rarely someone makes sub for your releases,which are often |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]| better than the scene ones. |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]|Q2: How about covers with your releases. |[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]| That would be very nice. |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]|A: We will improve our work in that direction. |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| For now only our non-english movies have subtitles and small number of the english |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]| ones. |[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]| For covers Google is your best friend. |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]|For the last part I have saved some negative comments ... |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]|Feel free to respond to them if you want. |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]|Q: Devise lost my respect when they mislabelled the batman release as DVDRiP when it was|[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| stolen from the German source. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| Until that point they had been honest, but once a liar - always a liar! |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|A: We haven't released dvd rip of The Dark Knight. We've released a screener in x264. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|If you have found dvd of The Dark Knight at this point be sure it's a fake. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|The only german source we have used is for the Iron Man dvd rip. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [| |]|- Scenereleases shows quoted text - |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]|Q: K, so I was in DEViSE for a while. I left because all the members were ego tripping, |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| ignorant fools, who barely had a grasp on the basic functions of Auto GK. |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| I can tell you more about that group than anything you will find out in an interview.|[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]| For example, the leader of the group used to be in the Scene, as a member of the now |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| defunct XViD group DEiTY. |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]| It's really pathetic, he can't even get back in, despite all his efforts. |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]| Oh, and most of the group, at least the original group is Bulgarian. |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]| They used to be known as AC3-KINGS. Also, they have no idea what security is. |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| For one thing, their main way of communication was the chat function in Skype,and |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]| MSN Messenger. |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]| Later, they got an IRC channel on some Bulgarian network, can't remember the exact |[|e|] |
#
| [|l|]| name, but there cant be many. |[|l|] |
#
| [|e|]| The funny part of the IRC thing is, not only was the channel protected by a password |[|e|] |
#
| [|a|]| or encrypted by Blowfish, most of the members were such n00bs, that they couldnt even|[|a|] |
#
| [|s|]| figure out how to get on IRC and into the channel. |[|s|] |
#
| [|e|]| Then they bitched and moaned as how they felt left out and how they wanted Skype to |[|e|] |
#
| [|s|]| be the main means of communication again. |[|s|] |
#
| [|.|]| The only reason they release in their so called, "high" standards, is they don't know|[|.|] |
#
| [|i|]| how encode in a reasonable way. |[|i|] |
#
| [|n|]| On top of that, they cant seem to grasp that the fact that some movies DO NOT need |[|n|] |
#
| [|f|]| AC3 audio, and needs better video. |[|f|] |
#
| [|o|]| A good encoder knows how to judge what each movie needs, and none of them have that |[|o|] |
#
| [|-|]| ability. |[|-|] |
#
| [| |]| |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| Here's a question that isn't brown nosing them: Why have they been fucking up some of|[| |] |
#
| [| |]| their releases as os late, where the second disc overlaps from the first disc, adding|[| |] |
#
| [| |]| a few seconds to the start of the second disc. |[| |] |
#
| [| |]| Some of us combine the avis and having a few extra seconds at the start of the second|[| |] |
#
| [| |]| disc means we have to edit them and fix them. |[| |] |
#
| [|w|]| |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]|A: There was a bunch of these ex-members, but we'll only say that not a single DEViSE |[|w|] |
#
| [|w|]| member left the group since it's start. |[|w|] |
#
| [|.|]| We are friends and we know each other from years, so things like this aren't really |[|.|] |
#
| [|s|]| counting in our eyes. |[|s|] |
#
| [|c|]| Tell me my annonymous friend, from where is this hatred?!? |[|c|] |
#
| [|e|]| If you don't like our releases just don't watch them..... |[|e|] |
#
| [|n|]| Actually in the last lines he has a point about the splitting, we've noticed that |[|n|] |
#
| [|e|]| problem and it would be solved. |[|e|] |
#
| [|r|]| |[|r|] |
#
| [|e|]| From DEViSE to scenereleases: "Thanks for this interview. Be safe..." |[|e|] |
