What is PPVRip?

Recently we have seen a few of these PPVRip’s come out by P2P Release Groups. The source of a PPVRip is a Television Screen which is basically recorded to a PVR or DVD Recorder. A PPVRip looks exactly the same as a VHS-Screener as they both have the VHS/TV Full Screen resolution and the same principles apply when recording from a full screen source. The actual source of a PPVRip is a Hotel room TV which uses the room’s movies as the source.

What Does PPV Stand For?
PPVRips are Pay-Per-View videos which have been recorded from Hotel rooms. PPVRip is a Pay-Per-View video source.

Where Do PPVRip’s Come From?
PPVRips are said to have come from Pay-Per-View sources, but what is interesting is that all these releases are brand new movies which have not yet been released to Screener or DVD but are available to view by Hotel customers.

Which Hotel’s have these movies? Which country are they being shown in? How are they available before any other source?
These are common questions for which we have no answers yet. This is a brand new source and there is not much information regarding how these movies are commercially available. The PPVRip’s that are currently available on the internet are brand new releases, which have only recently left the theater and are the first source available for each of the releases.

It seems these movies are a promotional VHS-Screener source, but do not have any time codes or studio watermarks like normal Screener releases, this is the main difference between these two types of releases.
We hope to have some more information on PPVRip’s as time goes on, the first of these was only released 2 days ago and there has been a scouple of PPVRip’s since by STG group, who seems to be the only group with a PPV source at the moment.

PPVRip’s Available:
There is currently only a couple of these releases floating around at the moment, and we think they are all from the same supplier/hotel.
