It sounds like you’re referring to a release from the release group Framestor . Here’s a solid, concise explanation for a paper or technical documentation:
Why accept this cost?
Because encoding is destruction. Even a "transparent" x265 encode (crf 16) removes high-frequency grain detail. For archival purposes, Remux-framestor is the only acceptable long-term storage format. As display technology improves (8K upscaling, better tone mapping), having the untouched source allows future software to do a better job than a pre-destroyed encode.
Quality Control & Repacks
: The group has a reputation for "catching errors" quickly. If a release has a technical flaw (like a minor sync issue or a corrupt frame), they will quickly issue a REPACK to correct it. Remux-framestor
: The data is simply moved from the disc's format into a more versatile digital container, typically Massive File Sizes : Because no quality is lost, 4K UHD remuxes can range from 50GB to over 90GB 👑 Who is FraMeSToR?
When discussing "remuxing frames," it might imply changing the frame rate or ensuring that the frame rate compatibility of a video is adjusted during the remuxing process. However, traditional remuxing does not inherently change the frame rate or the resolution of the video; it only changes the container. Adjusting frame rates usually involves a transcoding process. remux It sounds like you’re referring to a
Here's an example of how to remux a video file from MKV to MP4 using FFmpeg:

Storage
: If you plan to collect FraMeSToR releases, you will need significant storage solutions, such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) running Plex or Jellyfin. REMUXES - Google Drive
- -EPSiLON: Often releases first, but sometimes uses hybrid workflows (combining video from one disc, audio from another). Purists consider this "tampering."
- -SWTYBLZ: Famous for "upscaled" SDR to HDR remuxes (which are not authentic). Avoid for archival, but useful for obscure films.
- -MTeam: An Asian-based group that produces high-quality REMUXes, often with added Chinese subtitles. Technically excellent, but Framestor is preferred for Western audiences.
- -NCmt: A Russian group known for "re-encoding" REMUXes (contradiction in terms). Not a true REMUX.
