The quality rating should not be influenced by differences in the actual drawing or contents (like a cut TV-version or a censored hentai). Please also don't rate a file lower just because you don't like the fonts used. | The quality rating should not be influenced by differences in the actual drawing or contents (like a cut TV-version or a censored hentai).

Here you can tell the raw (unsubbed) source of the anime. If you don't know the source, leave it "unknown". If you find a tag like "(S)VHS" or "DVD" in the filename, choose the according option from the dropdown-menu. | Here you can tell the raw (unsubbed) source of the anime.

Sometimes, it's ok to make an educated guess: For animes that are released fansubbed shortly (within days/weeks) after they aired in Japan, you can safely assume "DTV" (Digital TV) as source. Another case for educated guessing is "HKDVD" (Hongkong-DVD) - the video-quality may be ok for them, but the translation is usually horrible, which is how you can spot them. | Sometimes, it's ok to make an educated guess: For animes that are released fansubbed shortly (within days/weeks) after they aired in Japan, you can safely assume "DTV" (Digital TV) as source.

Use [[AOM]] to easily determine the codecs and bitrates used in an avi-files. For mkv/ogm-files, you can use [http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/ MediaInfo] or the [http://matroska.org/downloads/shellextension/index.html Matroska Shell Extension]. Another possible program, which we consider trustworthy is [http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/ Virtualdubmod] (Gspot is easy to use, but not very accurate so it's '''NOT''' recommended.) | Use [[AOM]] to easily determine the codecs and bitrates used in an avi-files.

'''Note:''' Many XviD-encodes have a "DIVX" or "DX50" | '''Note:''' Many XviD-encodes have a "DIVX" or "DX50" 4cc (for compatibility) and are thus often wrongly recognized as DivX4 or DivX5. In GSpot, you may find an additional signature displayed near the DivX one, for example "DIVX/xvid" or "DX50/xvid". In such cases, please always set the codec on AniDB to XviD. | ||
