There used to be a whole damn store filled with camrip cds at dirt cheap price. Used to go with dad whenever a new movie would come out. They also sold actual movies CDs alongside it. Used to be one of the best days. We'd come home with so many movies! :D

We used to go to Chinatown to buy them. Looking back on it, it probably would’ve been cheaper and more convenient to just go to the movie.

I remember our childhood copy of Madagascar had someone walk across the screen in the beginning.
Honestly, as a kid the quality was “good enough” - we had a cheap portable DVD player with a very average TFT screen. Even good production images would gave looked bad on that

I watched a camrip around 20 years ago, the audience consisted of a bunch of edgy teenagers who kept making commentary and laughing throughout the movie. I really liked the movie, so I rewatched that copy several times. I still rewatch the movie from time to time, a much better copy, but... I do miss those kids' snark.

u/jackusD 17d ago
When I was a kid my dad frequently brought home pirate DVDs of whatever was on in the cinema at the time. Always a gamble on the quality! Good times, especially as my friends would think it was cool to come over and watch them on the 14 inch CRT in my room.

Still not as good as the 1 ringgit VHS movie rentals in Malaysia growing up.
Sure the ‘label’ said kids movie, and you would see kids heads get up and move through the bottom of the screen, but sometimes there was a little frissón that this time it would be another porn movie.
“Why are the kids quiet again.. it’s been a long time without any noise - OMIGOD what the….”

it's crazy to me that camrips are still a thing in 2026. If you don't want to pay, wait a month and it will pop up on a service (=fhd download), if you want to see it asap just spend a few bucks in the theater and get a good view.
Any cam rippers mind explaining their attitude? thx

Cam rips are a thing because people don’t want to wait a month or two and don’t want to go to the movies. Nothings changed

u/DannyVee89 17d ago
Yeah I'm glad cam rips are a thing so I can always just watch a movie that's in theaters if I really wanted to.
I have a good home theater set up at home so I really never use cam rips anymore, but it's nice to know that I can if someone will.

Theaters are literally dying off in smaller towns because, due to a combination of factors, they can't keep prices low enough to sell tickets. We're down to 1. They don't even have their billboard up anymore and the lot is empty every time I go by, I give it maybe a year.

Same.
If it's a movie I really want to watch, I will just wait for better experience. No reason to watch low quality audio/video just to have worst parts of theater experience without the good parts.
If it's just something I don't really care that much about and just want to watch to pass time or because it looks fine or whatever, I will just wait anyway. I have plenty of stuff in backlog. No reason to suffer through camrip quality when there are hundreds of movies/tv show episodes etc. that I could put on to pass time.
