If the movie is not available on any physical media or online streaming sources yet, the best you'll find is what's known as a cam, which is the dude sitting in the theatre in a hoody recording like you see in the warning of what not to do before the movie starts.

A lot of trackers don't allow them because the quality is so bad, I see them a lot on TL tho. I think they even have some exclusive releasers.

It depends on the movie and how they market it. Usually once it hits streaming services good rips will be available very quickly.

Personally I don’t bother with CAMs or TSs, I’d rather wait until there’s a good rip.

Use Radarr, set the quality you want, watch stuff when it shows up.

Once it's released on a streaming service, quality private trackers will have it within minutes.

My rule of thumb is to just wait till the blu-ray is released. Ill either get a remux or a very solid encode. Web-DLs can usually be found earlier than the blu-ray release too (usually like month, or a few weeks, before the BD release). I'm not saying rips or cams cant be "good quality", but I would rather watch an actual scene release or closer to the quality of a physical counterpart. I'd rather be patient and just wait for better releases.

Movie was really good, worth it to go to the cinema imo.

On rare occasions a high quality copy gets leaked early. But most of the time, all you’ll get is CAMs until the movie is released on a streaming service, then that will get ripped in full quality. This typically takes around 6 weeks these days. After that you wait another 6+ months for the Bluray release which is higher quality still.

I run a service on my computer called radarr. I have it set to not look for camera recordings.
