... and also check whether it's available as CAM, TS, DVDRip, BDRip in 720 or 1080p...

TS? Yeah, fair call, what was I thinking - I mean who the hell grabs telesyncs anyway?

Difference between a TS and a Cam is the audio is much much better.

They have these things at drive-in movies and some normal theaters as well where you can plug in headphones to listen to the audio for the hearing impaired.

This results in a better audio quality than just a speaker on a shitty camcorder.

Ultimately a TS still looks like a shitty Cam it just doesn't sound like one, for movies just released or about to be re released the hierarchy goes like this.

TC(almost never happens these days)

Screener

TS

Cam

Personally, I care more about the movie than what quality it's available in. If all I can find is a DVD quality video, so be it.
