>BDs are an archaic media because they don't sell well
The Industry is dying, and it's thanks to idiots like pic related, aka the "fresh talent" of the industry. People like this, so full of bright ideas; he'd have have all physical media distributing ceased, and put in as replacement abysmal streaming services, DRM and all. Forget digital downloads of BD-quality sources to save and do with as you please - no, it'd be like Netshit, Amazon, etc, paying for DRM and bitrate-starved streaming video. Grain? Rescans of older shows? Forget about it: they'll be encoded, grain smugged out, to a nice, even 300MB per episode, the superb quality one can expect from streaming. This is the future the Industry is headed, and you'll soon be archiving x265 CR re-encodes of x264 CR re-encodes, or worst. Instead of many releases from one BD source to choose from, the only choice that'll exists is between TV- and Web-rips, which will look like shit no matter what. Streaming was a mistake. People, even those working in the Industry, no longer appreciated what makes anime as a medium art. It's all consumerism and merchandise from here on out.

We have had people from the industry come to /a/ before, directors and mangaka even, this was just another shill like every man idiot who starts a fakku or CR thread.

You're putting words in his mouth there. DRM in general is pushed by publishers, not creators. Steve Jobs published a rant on this and why DRM-free digital distribution is ideal 10 years ago and it's worth a read.
https://www.apple.com/kr/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/

Consider that Trigger released the original LWA on Youtube and Nicovideo for a short while with no rental or verification settings enabled. There was nothing stopping anyone from saving it. If a better quality platform with widespread adoption was available I'm sure Trigger would be game but in reality it's not the studio's choice how to publish when they don't control the IP like with shows produced and funded by huge committees. What we got from an answer by Tattun the other day is that the publishers push BD over there because they can charge a premium for it as a collectible.

>>152681209
BD as designed is a total clusterfuck of DRM, it only seems convenient because the DRM can be defeated on a PC and it happens to offer the best quality in a widely used format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Access_Content_System

>>152681328
Yes, but you're not restricted by DRM. I mean, BDs do ship with DRM, and require DRM integration for playback, but there's nothing stopping you from bypassing this and ripping the data for personal use. And really, you get a physical copy, even if just the disc, while streaming DRM prevents you from saving the data from cache, collects user information, uses CPU time not directly pertaining to streaming itself, and so on. When signing up for, say, Netflix, you're in essence paying to trade your data in exchange for streaming (as per their privacy policy). It's sick, because you get nothing in return except a data-collecting "service" in disguise.

Honestly, that's a pretty terrible attitude to have when it comes to digital media. Physical formats like Blu-ray suck ass compared to what you could do potentially do with digital releases, and as long as the digital purchase is DRM-free you do actually own it too.

Of course, right now a lot of digital releases suck ass in terms of quality compared to stuff like Blu-rays and are crippled with all kinds of DRM bullshit, but that's just a matter of the potential not being realized.

But if you have this attitude of "never gonna pay for anything digital ever", that certainly isn't going to increase the chances of actually good digital releases happening.
>>

Just pirate it and be done with it.
You can buy a physical copy on top of that if you feel like supporting the creators or having a fancy collection.

But Tattun is a PR guy. He doesn't draw anime, doesn't write script, doesn't voice characters. His job is to sell shit. He doesn't come here just because he wants to talk with anons. He advertises his show. Please do support us! Please do buy our merchandise! He should have been banned the first time he came here.

I guess mods let it slip because it's really rare occurrence and pretty harmless. The problem is that right now /a/ is ready to throw money at him. And if somehow it turns out that pandering to /a/ can be profitable for Japanese studios we might get real hidden marketing and shilling in future.

It was the logical assumption I extrapolated from his reply. He's put forth his trite opinion despite offering no alternative to the quality BDs have to offer. He has nothing to say except making it clear he doesn't know what he's talking about, e.g. calling BDs "archaic", when even as a archival solution they're cheaper per GB and offer data integrity beyond mechanical or flash storage.

Also, DRM-free digital downloads are arguable even more owned by you than something like a blu-ray disc, where DRM is mandatory by design (you literally can't do mass media releases on BD without including DRM on the discs).

>>152681705
Well, there's two ways, really. One is having people who care about quality in charge of digital distribution at legit companies. The other is massive demand by consumers and them voting with their wallets.

Both are unfortunately quite the moon shots, though at least the former can happen on occasions. Sadly it hasn't happened with any of the players in the English digital anime market.

What you base this "unrealized potential" on when in fact DRM as a whole has only gotten worst in recent years? BDs and later integrations have more restrictive DRM than DVDs, html5 streaming has more restrictive DRM than flash video, digital books/audiobooks, etc can't even be rented without DRM, even from libraries which offer free online rentals, video game platforms like steam, and so on. DRM is integrating more and more restrictively into everything while internet quality is stagnant, which means no where in the near future will you be able to download a BD-quality or better file DRM free, much less stream it.

Because the people who pay for CR etc seem perfectly happy eating whatever shit the companies feed them up, and with licenses being pretty much always exclusive the companies have basically zero incentives to improve.

>>152681966
>What you base this "unrealized potential" on

The simple fact that legit players get access to the real high quality sources, and with digital you could provide real high quality options that aren't restricted to the limits of physical formats like Blu-ray.

DRM itself isn't directly tied to quality, but it is definitely a very real issue with digital content. I think there is value in content protection as an enabler for the catalog rental subscription model (eg. Netflix), but those shouldn't be the only options - it really should exist alongside the possibility of actually buying content DRM-free too. Also, shit like anti-circumvention laws just straight up shouldn't exist, they're pure bullshit of the highest degree.

HTML DRM is also something that makes me really sad. Honestly, Netflix etc should've been forced to stay on Silverlight or Flash if they wanted their DRM blobs, in a perfect world if they wanted to use HTML5 they should've had to implement any content protection solely in JS.

>>152682024
>I want good physical releases.

But physical release formats will pretty much always limit the potential quality that you could get out of a release. Digital has way less restrictions in that regard.

Dude, I'm not saying it's bad.

>It's average for the industry.
Yes, abut revenues in mainstream (non late night) late night anime are gigantic and they completely distort the overall picture.
Ghibli movies, kid shows (Yo-kai watch), heavy merch hitters like Gundam and shit make billions of yen every year.
But an average late night TV anime doesn't get any "movie" money, no "music" money, no "pachinko", no oversea sales. It gets only BD sales, streaming licenses (they are very cheap unlike some retards think here), and some cheap keychains and posters.

>There's nothing stopping anyone from publishing without DRM
Absolutely wrong. DRM locks down the services and platforms, funneling money where companies want it to go. Take for example "Netflix Originals": there's nothing stopping them from being available DRM-free, as they're licensed by Netflix. But that doesn't happen, for reasons listed above. Control and data is key in the digital age, and if you give people the choice to download a file through a server and then piss off from the given service, there is no control over user data. But with DRM, everything is tracked from top to bottom, both for invasive and also non-invasive data aggregation purposes, from which on it's used in-house and shared and sold with third-parties.

Why do you watch anime and not cartoons? Why do you watch anime and not western TV shows? Anime attracted me with its unique elements which are not present in any other media.

Not for games and shows. A complete DRM free game or movie/show you would not only be able to have the high quality rip from the disk, but you also have the collectable disk with the content on it that you can sell down the line.
I can sell my physical anime even if they have DRM on it.

See, the thing is that "plugin-free HTML5 experience!" in the context of services like Netflix that make use of HTML DRM is a lie. Instead of having a single plugin like Silverlight or Flash, which are basically devils you know, you now have multiple separate DRM black boxes taking their place. So in reality, you've made the situation even worse, because now you're dealing with multiple devils you don't know instead of just the one or two you know.

Not to mention how dangerous of a slippery slope the embracing of DRM into HTML itself is. One can only hope we don't actually start sliding down it, because if we do, it'll be basically the end of the open web as we know it.

Except that once again that "high quality" in case of shows is limited by the restrictions of the physical format itself. Like, you know how fansub releases have done some really fancy typesetting with softsubs? You simply couldn't do that kind of stuff with Blu-ray subs - they're VERY limited in comparison. Not to mention that the Blu-ray format itself is a total clusterfuck from an authoring perspective, so most of the time you see authoring houses use the bare minimum features available due to the massive complexity. And as mentioned earlier, you can't make mass media BD releases without DRM of some kind, so the usage of the very format itself feeds the continued development and usage of DRM.

No. Only popular anime gets lots of expensive figures and stuff. Usually anime can only boast with some shitty prize figures or low quality nendos. They are cheap and they are produced in very limited quantities. And majority of anime doesn't get even that.

Go http://myfigurecollection.net/. Search few anime which sold below 4k (I think this is current median). Usually you won't be able to find any figures.

H.265 (or BPG, which basically uses H.265) would actually make for a pretty nice lossy format from a technical standpoint in places where lossy images are used, but from both a general compatibility as well as patent standpoint it's not really worth using, especially for images.

The whole patent situation itself is a pretty large deterrent for using it legally. It's really sad because the initial MPEG-LA terms were actually really nice, but then HEVC Alliance had to fuck everything up. At this point I'm really hoping that AV1 will actually turn out nicely.

Good for you, though you can probably understand that it's not a preferable option for everyone due to the complications of importing and the matter of having to know Japanese if you actually want the purchase to be more than pretty much just a donation (and most people usually want some real return for their money). Not to mention that the JP version will be censored compared to FAKKU stuff being uncensored.

And buying FAKKU versions does also support the artists basically all the same. Like with books artists actually get a bigger sum out of a FAKKU book sale compared to the equivalent JP version.

What I find frustrating is people buy BDs mostly for collection but from time to time you get industry voices condemning illegal distribution of anime as harmful for the industry. That just fly in the face of the fact that out of the people who are legally watching anime, for free or otherwise, only a tiny fraction of them spend money on BDs. I went out of my way to purchase overpriced BDs from Japan and I don't even open most of them. When I want to rewatch ef or something I just use the rips I downloaded.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as AV1, is in fact, Daala/AV1, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Daala plus AV1. AV1 is not a video codec unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Daala encoding and decoding system made useful by the Daala Intra Paint algorithm, perceptual vector quantization and frequency-domain intra prediction comprising a full video format as defined by Xiph.Org.

Japanese government: minimal.

If it's a Chinese production committee, they probably have a commissar on board who makes sure that China is presented properly in the anime.

Who knows? The route there would most likely be that first FAKKU would expand from h-manga to regular manga, and from regular manga to anime. That first step has a relatively decent chance of happening at some point, but the second step is a much bigger leap.

I certainly wouldn't mind if it did happen though, I've certainly been thinking about how I'd want to do digital distribution for anime for a long time.

I'll probably start watching around the midpoint or so. Since I try to avoid direct simulcast rips as much as possible and with most fansub releases being pretty slow these days I tend to wait until a season is over and the show's been completely released before watching them so I don't end up waiting weeks for episodes.

Actual audio snobs listen to CDs, especially since classical on vinyl sounds like ass because it's not loud enough.

It's "hipsters", sure. The reason people vinyl is because it looks cool, and because they like having lyric sheets/liner notes/bonus songs/other cool shit. People don't buy BDs for the purpose of rewatching the episodes, they buy it for the sexy packaging and the bonus content.

Resolution (or framerate) does not automatically equal quality. They only represent the theoretical maximum, while the practical quality comes from things like bitrate, source quality and encoding settings.

Picture related. It looks like shit, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a 1080p screencap. Which is why resolution alone isn't enough to determine the actual quality.

They went all buddy-buddy with CR and now all their subbed stuff is on CR while they themselves are doing dub-only streams.

>>152684739

While these images are amusing for anyone in the know, just to be safe I gotta say that this is a terrible comparison that in no way represents reality (especially considering that the main point of SVP is supposed to be increased framerate through interpolation, which you can't exactly show off in a static screencap). In reality if use SVP and don't configure it to basically do fuck-all the results are more like picture related for anime.

Well, those are already a thing in Japan, though the quality admittedly sucks pretty much all the time. Sadly I don't really see that changing for books anytime soon. But Japanese digital distro has gotten overall better recently with the opening Komiflo, which is basically a Japanese version of the FAKKU subscription.
>>
>>152685556
Quick question while you're here: I have a hypothesis that the reason people claim MPC-HC is the best player for anime, is because the fansubbing community uses it and whatever its quirks are as a reference implementation when trying to adjust the parameters for the best quality, instead of actually trying to conform to the MPEG-LA specifications. Does this sound plausible to you?
>>
>completely ignoring the rest of Tattun0s post
There is a reason Tattun complained about BDs: most of the profit from BD sales goes to the distributor, not to the studio. There is a reason Shaft isn't big despite Madoka and Monogatari. Because they get a minimal amount per BD sold while Aniplex gets almost everything. Trigger said that the main bonus for the studio about BDs getting sold is that they get more cred and more sponsors are willing to fund them. Evangelion isn't big because it sells BDs, Evangelion is big because it sells merch.

As far as fansubs are concerned it's more that fansubbers tend to make and test subs (typesetting specifically) with (xy-)vsfilter rather than libass, plus that libass has historically had some issues dealing with stuff that xy-vsfilter handles fine.

Otherwise the matter of rendering quality has come down to madVR vs what mpv has to offer, and while mpv has added a lot of HQ playback settings over time madVR has generally held onto at least a slight edge over it.

When it comes down to it, both MPC-HC and mpv are perfectly good choices these days. Heck, even VLC isn't terrible these days, but you're still doing yourself a disservice by using it for high quality media when better and equally free options exist.

Also, MPEG-LA has absolutely nothing to do with it.

See that's the thing, I've never seen a difference between VLC and mpv/mplayer. But that could be because my laptop is fairly low-end and therefore may not be able to take advantage of any quality differences. I'm just trying to understand why this opinion is so universally held, despite not seeing any premise for it.

The reason I mentioned the MPEG-LA was because they laid out the standards for how H.264 should look, and I was wondering if maybe MPC-HC/madVR/xy-vsfilter is actually non-standards compliant in some wonky way.

Oh, you're right, it does seem to support mpv as a backend these days too, though it seems like it still defaults to mplayer. Anyway, that's certainly good, and should make it a decent recommendation as long as you also tell people to use the mpv backend with it.

>The reason I mentioned the MPEG-LA was because they laid out the standards for how H.264 should look, and I was wondering if maybe MPC-HC/madVR/xy-vsfilter is actually non-standards compliant in some wonky way.

Basically everything does the actual H.264 decoding the same way, for high quality playback the differences are in subtitle rendering and the decoded image rendering.

With VLC there's been more obvious quality differences, like how it can just sometimes shit the bed and give you garbage mid playback, or how it's seeking is badly implemented and gives you garbage, or how it's always lagging behind in libass versions etc.

I was looking at the SMPlayer homepage itself. It primarily talks about mplayer while also having "oh and it supports mpv too" and the mpv subpage gives off the impression that it defaults to mplayer and you'd have to at the very least change the backend to mpv manually in the settings.

Can I just point out the use of the not-quite-an-idiom "sells like pancakes." He meant to say "sells like hotcakes" and in many parts of the world "hotcakes" are the term for the rich batter cooked in a pan or griddle. Thus in America they are "pancakes" or occasionally "griddle cakes" (and for some reason "flapjacks") but rarely "hotcakes." It's understandable that Tattun ## Verified wasn't aware of this and made the connection that "hotcakes" in American English are called "pancakes". But as an anachronism we Americans still say "hotcakes" in this context alone. Why is that?

It is indeed pretty sad considering it's basically the only way to not suffer from the tyranny of prude payment processors. And even then you need to basically roll your own bitcoin setup, can't use something like Coinbase because they interact with said prude payment processors and will kick you off for being too lewd for them even if you never even convert your bitcoins to USD (which is exactly what happened to FAKKU with Coinbase).

Region lock isn't drm in the same way as what has been discussed throughout the thread though. Just like drm on wma files it's just a flag that says "please don't play" and is easily removed
CSS would have been a better example because there was actually a point in time where it worked. It's broken now though and that's another thing that is great about physical media. Once the drm is broken it's broken and can't be easily updated

Most manufacturers back in the day only allowed your drive to change your region a few times, then it's locked to the region you changed to. Stand-alone DVD players were permanently region locked depending on where you buy them. That's DRM.

Yeah, they're generally totally fine with physical adult goods, which makes the whole thing a lot more frustrating.

There have been some cases in recent times where Paypal has relaxed their rules with digital adult content but sadly it's still not a viable option for FAKKU because they take issue with certain types of content (even if it's all drawn content) and the only solution to that would be to get rid of said content, and that's something FAKKU is just not going to do.

Try and fit in all you want, but it has always sucked to see your favorite shows go down the shitter thanks to Japan's awful taste.

Well... except for the fact that making sure you don't lose digital files is a lot easier than doing the same with physical Blu-rays. After all, you've only got one copy of those and you can't exactly make identical replicas of the physical product, whereas digital files can be easily backed up in multiple locations, including offsite, which means that even if your house burns down you can still get your digital version back exactly like you first got it.

>>152688516
They cater to both, but statistically speaking the people who download anime are more likely to care about high quality playback than those downloading live action stuff, which is why their feedback is listened to etc. Plus some devs are just weebs themselves (like haasn, who's done a lot of high quality playback -related feature work on mpv).

From the way you said this studios might as well not get any money at all from anime and they should all be bankrupt by now. Many studios have existed for decades while turning a profit, maybe you should figure out why instead of parroting baseless idiocy.

>>152688634

Anime (and cartoons in general) are made up of lots of line art and solid colors. This leads to tons of high frequency information

High spatial frequency information takes A LOT of data. Normal shit encodes would just throw that data out to limit file size as much as possible, and mostly wouldn't get noticed in live-action stuff. But in anime, since it's just 80%+ high frequency data, it would get absolutely shat on using shit encodes.

Anime has advanced encoding technology from urgency of need to limit file sizes while keep great line art quality. A bit of autism thrown in there too.

You are the kind of shill who is such an entitled piece of shit that comes here to promote his and his fuckbuddy jacob's products for free instead of buying ad space like everyone, because for some reason you believe yourself to be inherently superior to everyone else and thus not someone who should pay.
When is that superior digital quality going to come out and embarass physical media? When are any of the companies you are shilling going to support payments done from countries outside the US, CAN and the EU? When is digital media give us consumers the kind of security that our stuff will still be ours tomorrow that physical DOES offer us? When are publishers like Yenpress going to be nearly as fast as fantranslators and make their content available world wide?

And it's be just extra zeros added for no reason. But once you encode to low bitrate, you permanently lose data. That's why BDs as source are the highest quality you can get.

When you watched your anime, how did you think video encodes like h.264 and mkv work to begin with to bring you that video? Just magic?

Whenever you have a sudden change in color in an image (like a character's line art between hair and sky), you produce a square wave in that spatial domain. A square wave is a superposition of MANY high frequency waves. A high frequency wave requires tons of data to store. If you decided "lol fuck it, get rid of these high frequency shit.", your anime would start looking like blurry blobs of color with no sharp edges.

Ever wonder why there's """grain""" and """blur""" in streams and shit encodes of anime? Because some jackass decided to remove the upper most high frequencies. Your square waves now become less "square" and you suddenly see this crap noise.

I took a whole 15 week class on image processing and this kind of shit, so I can talk all day about it like a autistic faggot. The bottom line is, better encoding technology allows us to KEEP these high frequency data, while pressing it down as much as possible with coding """tricks""" during download. When we watch it, the encode brings that information back in real time. Better encode = more frequency information in less MBs.

So you're loose enough with your money to give it away for free with a non-existent option, but stingy enough to not want to support a studio with an existing method because some of your money goes towards shipping. Totally not making excuses to hide how you're exactly the poor millennial retard I described earlier.

Compression algorithms aim to remove as much information as possible without interfering too much with the picture's quality. Sharp shifts in color and contrast produce too much information to store. Thus, compressions usually reduce these shifts as much as possible without you noticing too much.

Grain, on the other hand, is just low-medium frequency noise and crap thrown in. Removing it would be very hard, since you'd throw out other potential low frequency information alongside it. You could just blur the entire image (aka apply a giant lowpass filter) to retrieve the absolute basic information necessary. But by then, your image looks like a giant blurred piece of shit.

Image processing is very similar to electrical hardware filtering, which is why many electrical engineering students usually take one or two semesters of digital/image filtering.

There's a japanese blogger who does image analysis of anime shows to see how high quality they were when scanned from the art paper to digital data, if you can read moonrunes. (mods please don't ban. I'm not shilling some random fag's blog for money. I'm just trying to share some info).

I wonder if there's a way to code a video compression and encoding format that would be more optimized for line art?
>>
>>152689822
Actual grain is hard to compress because it's unpredictable.
The compress ratio of any image is correlated to it's entropy, the more chaotic it is (as in, the more random the byte levels of the pixels are), the harder it is to compress because all algorithms work based on the data redundancy of the source.
Grain is pure noise with an uniform probability density function, it's impossible to predict because there's no pattern so you can't really compress it without any loss in information (which is no big deal because there's not any information anyway but that's it).
>>
>>152690353
If it was JUST line art and solid blocks or color? Sure, already exists.

Sadly, anime is more than just line art and block colors, even if it is the majority of the picture. There's the backgrounds to consider, and the fact that even "solid" colors (usually on characters) aren't actually solid, but more like gradients of color from light to dark.

In addition, most studios are starting to throw in lighting effects, """""""""bloom""""""""", and other specialized video features, which just complicates it more.
>>
>>152690573
Most video editing software has those things as seperate layers. Maybe a format could do the same, encoding the geometric art into one channel and the effects and filters into another.
>>
>>152690353
It's definitely possible but current video standards don't actually do that bad a job.
While the lines need a lot of data to look good, you end up with plenty to play with due to most of the frame being relatively flat colour in a lot of anime, at least compared to live action
In the end it's just not really worth it when experienced encoders do perfectly fine with h.264
>>
>>152690715
>Maybe a format could do the same, encoding the geometric art into one channel and the effects and filters into another.

Yes, that is possible. But then you have to force people to download, install, and configure your "specialized" decoder to watch some file format that most people probably wouldn't care about, unless it's 500% better than the next popular one.

Ever wonder why 10-bit was such a pain in the ass before? Because video software downloaded by millions wasn't able to decode it properly. You'll run into this same problem with your new format, and that's if it even WORKS well.

That being said, technological progress requires effort. I'm sure something will come out eventually.

That's a bit misleading. It applies very much to analog-digital conversion, but purely digital imagery does not need to be represented as a sum of sines. In a bitmap, for instance, you can represent a sharp line or color change just by changing the RGB values for adjacent pixels. No waves involved. Representing a digital image as a sum of sines only becomes useful when you want to do lossy compression because it's a way of simplifying the image and identifying data that can be discarded.

>>152689822
>>152690158
A more conceptually straightforward way to think about compressing (not removing) grain is to think of image compression in terms of splitting the image into blocks of very similar color. Then you can simplify the image by making all the pixels in each block the same color, and instead of storing data for each pixel, you just need to store one data point for the color and some data representing the block's size and location. If the image has lots of large areas with very similar color, your blocks can be large and it takes much less data to store. But grain means there are no large uniform areas, so the compressed size ends up approaching the raw file size.

Vector encoding would be extremely efficient for line art (even with a raster layer for effects), but the problem is converting the original raster graphics to vector. None of the ways of doing that today are very effective, and tend to produce either terrible quality images or file sizes that are larger than the raster source. Then there's the computational overhead of decoding vector videos...

The bottom line is that modern MPEG-based codecs work very well, even for anime. There just isn't enough reason to develop a specialized codec when the general purpose one works just fine.

Yes, agreed. The data itself is stored in another format that tries to simplify data based on the 16/32 bit RBG values, not waves and shit.

Most of this discussion applies to conversions of pictures (analog-to-digital, digital-to-digital). Both involve frequencies, waves and spatial dimensions as well. JPG high quality to JPG low quality is a famous example.

Video encoders need to be good at digital-to-digital conversion to keep file sizes down. A combination of lossless+lossy compression is used in video encoders to maximize quality vs. file size ratios.

Anime is mostly digital drawn these days. Let's push these nips to use Inkscape SVG for their shows.

I agree that decoding video graphics, especially for 1080p 30fps, would be horrendously taxing on CPU power. We'll get there one day though.

That's because frequencies aren't an exclusive parameter of waves, the jpeg compression algorithm iirc works fundamentally by applying a cos transform on the image to isolate the different frequency components and then spending a higher number of bits for the most trascendental frequency components.
Digital image processing works fundamentally by applying two FFTs on the two coordinates of the image and then applying filters over the frequency functions much like you'd do to an analog signal, it's fundamentally the same.
The only difference is that frequency in a wave is a measurement of repetition in time, while in an image is a measurement of repetition in a coordinate, but the same rules apply.
