The turnaround from screen to home media has gotten short enough to where it’s fine to wait for a high quality version. Cams were good in the 80s when you bought the VHS tapes from some dude selling them out of a box down in the subway. Though the odds of brining home a blank were pretty good!

I feel bad because someone paid for a ticket and sat there filming for 90 minutes but I can't stand them.
Yeah bad way to enjoy the film...
Not worth the storage space. I'll wait for digital/physical release.
plus watching a movie in the theatre is always a nice experience.
People still do this?
considering a lot of the slop people really want to watch is focused on hi def production and special effects I don't even understand how it still exists
Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.
I'm not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.
Well, its the thought that counts I guess
If I want to see a movie so badly, I'd rather go to the cinema rather than watch a low-quality camrip.
Back in the early days, watching a cammed movie was tolerable because the 480p rips that we'd otherwise get were so heavily compressed that there'd be hardly any step up in quality. It was also usually the fastest way I could find a new movie.
These days, releases get leaked from inside the studio all the time, at full quality, so there's not really any legitimate need for cammed movies anymore.
I would not say "all the time" at least the movies I watch, but it is mostly only some months (if even) until a movie is available on some streaming service and gets ripped in 4k
Patience is a virtue
I cannot fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to such utter horror.
All of them have really bad audio and as such, they're completely useless.
Even TS releases?
The audio of a TS is captured with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater).
TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I've seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.
Also, I don't think I've ever seen a cam with subtitles available.
Look for deadpool vs wolverine cam/TS v2 has subtitles and its actually a good cam. I didnt believe til I watched it
I have watched them but usually I wait for HD.
Like it doesn't exist for me. Same for MD
Eh, I'll wait for a better version.
it's y'all not ya'll
Ya'll grammar police need to chill
If you're going to be using Black American culture, you should at least try do it right.
And, no, it's not just English. This was popularized through Black Southerners.
It's probably a typo
I know it's probably a typo, but it's worth correcting in case people don't know.
Hats off to those who do it. I don't need to see things when they're new, so I will generally just wait until there's a home release or streaming rip. I'm not a 4k guy or whatever, I'm down with DVD quality or worse, I still wanna see it in a better format than a cam. But there's clearly people who want it, so I'm glad people are out there doing the work.
Usually I hate them, but there's this deadpool vs wolverine cam edited on my private tracker. It has blown me away. I swear if I didnt know it was a cam I wouldn't have guessed
Don't listen to this weed smoking wanker. Their copy is half French and half sign language in Korean.
Isnt that how all movies are deafblindFrenchKoreantorrents.ru tells me thats all there is
I have no idea. I throw money in a burn barrel in front of movie studios and they mail me direct to laserdisc masterpieces.
I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn't but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.
So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.
😮never thought about the archive function of CAM releases
No thanks
Reminds me of the good ol' days in the 90s. Watching cam recordings and people standing up or taking loudly the entire movie.
Haven't watched a cam recording in decades. Don't plan on doing that again.
What do I think of cams?
RIP DVDSCR's
They look like crap, I won't watch them.
Same and I have pretty much have no opinion outside of that.
Telesync, maybe
