There are 2 ways to rate. One is with the best HD 1920x1080 res footage at 10. That would place dvd9 at like 8, dvd5 at 7, dvdrips at 6, TC's at 5, TS's at 4, and cams at like 2.
Not much room for variables like good TS vs bad TS, or good cam vs bad cam in this rating system.
So better start voting 2 on all cams if this is you.
The other way to rate is to have several sets of ratings depending on type. Like with a DVD, 10 would be straight from retail, no re-encoding and 3 would be transcoded crap. 7 would be an average decent multipass CCE.
For cams, the absolute best cams would be 9's or 10's, average cams around 5 and most crappy cams would be 3's or so.
For TS, you'd look at the best TS's seen, like the better CTP releases, better videocd ones, etc, and rate them 9's or 10's, and average TS's would be around 5, with crappy ones around 3.
So which system makes more sense for rating? To me the separate scales for each type do, since there's more room to rate good or crappy ones. It doesn't make sense to me to have uncut dvd9's at 9 and cams at like 2 all the time.
Another way to look at it, the people interested in d/ling cams probably aren't those who are super picky on watching the movie in DVD quality at first viewing. More of them probably want to know how it compares to other cams more than how it would compare to a 6 month in the future dvd.
When I look at cam ratings, I'm more interested in looking at is this cam any good compared to other cams. I know its going to be a far far cry from dvd, simply because its a cam.
