This choise here decides on which streams will later get shown on the [[fileentries|fileentry]] page. As options are available:
*Video
::<i>videofiles of all sorts (avi, ogm, mkv, ...)</i>
*Audio
::<i>sometimes there will be external audiostreams for some files. filetype ''Audio'' is meant for those</i>
*Subtitle
::<i>for all sort of external subtitles (ssa, ass, srt, ...)</i>
*Other
::<i>for undefineable things like bundled external subtitles with external audio</i>
{{eyecatch|Note:| Currently ''Other'' will only shows subtitle on the [[fileentries|fileentry]] page. Bug is known and will be fixed... at some point.}}

An [[AniDB:Ed2k-hash|ed2k-link]] consists of the filename, the file's size and a so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function hash], basically a fingerprint of the file.<br>

=== CRC status ===
=== CRC status ===
Groups often release files with the checksum of the correct file being published somewhere, for example in the IRC-channel's topic or directly in the filename. Now, only if the CRC you calculated from the file you have matches the CRC of the correct file, set the "CRC status" on AniDB to "crc matches official source".

For older releases, especially for files you didn't directly get from the group, check pages like [http://www.envirosphere.com/ Envirosphere] or [http://baka-updates.com/ Baka Updates].


{{eyecatch|Note:|If the file is a raw, do not set crc correct status unless you really truly know better. If you are uncertain, you probably don't know shit.}}
Allowed Source for official CRC
* Official sfv (good source)
* CRC listing on official page/IRC topic (good source)
* CRC tag in filename (not a good source, but works... kinda)
* [http://www.envirosphere.com/ Envirosphere] & [http://www.baka-updates.com/ Baka-Updates] (3rd hand info, but kinda works.)
{{eyecatch|Note:|If the file is a "no group" file, do not set crc correct status!<br /> Most raw files come from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share share] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winny winny] hence no official crc is known!}}

Sometimes, the group makes mistakes and wants to correct them by releasing a second (third, fourth...) version, usually called "v2" ("v3", "v4", ...). If there is no such tag in the filename, it's normally "version 1".

{{eyecatch|Note|For standardization purpose if the source changes the versions gets set back to v1.<br />Example: a group releases a file with source dtv. Later they release the same thing again from dvd. Both is to be considered v1!}}

'''Hint:''' When you hash the file with [[AniDB O'Matic]], these hashes will automatically be added to the file-entry within 24 hours. (The file needs to be in AniDB already for [[AniDB O'Matic|AOM]] to create an [[Creq:Auto-creq|auto-creq]]!)

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.

==Streams==
==Tracks==
Use [[AOM]] to easily determine the codecs and bitrates used in 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 [[Avdump]] to easily determine the codecs and bitrates used in all media-files and set them according to the fields in anidb.<br />
Other tools aren't currently recommended to be used with anidb! [[AOM]] in the current revision is limited to only avi files and at times just wrong.
 
{{eyecatch|Note:|Tracknumber has no relevance. It's mearly an anidb internal number and shouldn't get shown in the first place. <add exp kicking here>}}


'''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.
If you feel like beeing a good busy beaver add the trackid/streamid. This number is used to show in which way the tracks/streams are ordered in the file. It will also be useful for [[AOM]] in version .6 for autocreqing purposes.

The '''clean video''' flag is used to determine if there isn't anythign hardcoded in the file. so if the group sticked their grouptag in, overpainted credits (I'm looking at you triad) or hardsubbed anything in the file '''DON'T''' set it. This flag is mena tto clearly indicate the file is left as it was.
===Audio===
===Audio===
When the file has multiple audio streams specify the Japanese here. Then add the second (and third, ...) stream after the file is added with 'add audio stream' at the file page.
When the file has multiple audio tracks add the first track via the fileadd/edit page. Then add the second (and third, ...) track after the file is added with '''add audio track''' at the file page.

===Subtitles===
===Subtitles===
Same as above.
When the file has multiple subtitle tracks add the first track via the fileadd/edit page. Then add the second (and third, ...) track after the file is added with '''add subtitle track''' at the file page.
 
Furthermore you can set various settings for the subtitle
 
====Type====
<add stuff>
 
====Styling options====
*image subs (Vobsubs)
*styled subs (ASS/SSA and other prestyled image formats)
*unstyled subs (SRT and other unstyled subtitle formats)
{{eyecatch|Note:|This is '''ONLY''' meant to be used for softsubtitles, but currently not enforced <add exp kicking here>}}
 
====Random BS that needs to die====
<add exp kicking here>
*additional explanations
*karaoke subbed
*signs translated
 
====other options====
*dubsubbed (if the subtiles are mearl a transcript of the dub version)
*hearing impaired subs (includes soundeffects being subbed *phone rings* and stuff)
*subs for commentary audio stream (selfexplaining)
