The Scene Rules
The scene rules are the standards in the warez scene for releasing warez. These standards are the minimum requirements for a release. The scene rules are defined by groups of people who have been involved in its activities for several years and have established connections to large groups. These people form a committee, which creates drafts for approval of the large groups. In organized warez distribution, all releases must follow these predefined standards to become accepted material. The standards committee usually cycles several drafts and finally decides which is best suited for the purpose, and then releases the draft for approval. Once the draft has been signed by several bigger groups, it becomes ratified and accepted as the current standard. There are separate standards for each category of releases. The scene rules can be updated anytime, though it is most likely that the rules won’t change more than 1 or 2 times a year.

Any idea where we can get hold of scene rules for x264 / HDDVD / BluRay releases?
What about the most important? Game ISO
The “HD Movie X264 720p Release Standards” and the “HD Movie X264 Release Standards” should be modified to require a standard resolution i.e. 1280*720 to enable all releases to be burnt to standard dvd media in the avchd format for use in most blu-ray players. Just an Idea
And no scene rules for FLAC (lossless audio) releases?
I cant open the link.. page load error msg appear.. :(
Dosen’t seem like any of the liks work. The page just continues to load.
With your mouse, hover over one of the Release Standards you’d like to view, and right-click it. Then, select “Copy Link Location”. Open a new browser tab, and do a “Paste” – you’ll then be able to view it. Alternatively, in Firefox, right-click on a link above, and select “Open Link In New Tab”.
Thanks Hover for letting us know. I was wondering why I couldn’t read them and tried searching other sites with the scene rules.
