FraMeSToR is one of the most prominent and high-volume "release groups" in the digital media scene, specializing in high-fidelity 4K UHD and 1080p Blu-ray Remuxes. Overview of FraMeSToR
Group Identity: A reputable release group often associated with top-tier private trackers like HDBits.
Primary Output: Their work is almost exclusively Remuxes—lossless copies of retail Blu-ray discs where the video and audio data are "stripped" from the original disc and placed into a single file (usually .mkv) without any re-encoding.
Reliability: In the community, FraMeSToR is considered a "reputable" or "standard" group, meaning their releases are expected to follow strict quality rules regarding proper metadata, subtitles, and technical accuracy. Technical Characteristics of Their Remuxes Video Quality Identical to the original Blu-ray disc (no compression). HDR Support
Often includes Dolby Vision (DV) Profile 7 (Blu-ray native) or Profile 8 (Hybrid) and HDR10. Audio
Typically contains high-end lossless formats like DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD with Atmos. File Sizes
Extremely large; 4K releases can range from 50 GB to over 100 GB per movie. Common Challenges for Users
Hardware Demands: Because the bitrates are so high, playing these files requires powerful hardware. Users often report playback issues like "freezing" or "stuttering" on low-powered devices (e.g., Fire TV sticks) or over slow Wi-Fi.
Storage Impact: Collectors of these releases often require massive storage solutions, with some users reaching over 300 TB to house their libraries.
Transcoding: When streaming a FraMeSToR Remux via media servers like Plex or Jellyfin, the server must have a strong CPU/GPU to transcode the file if the playback device doesn't support the raw bitrate or format.

It sounds like you’re referring to a remux release from the release group Framestor. Here’s a solid, concise explanation for a paper or technical documentation:
Remuxing is the process of taking an existing video file and changing its container format without altering the video or audio streams themselves. Essentially, you're repackaging the same content into a different file format container. For example, converting an MKV (Matroska) file to an MP4 file is a form of remuxing, provided that the underlying video and audio codecs remain unchanged.
The key points about remuxing are:
Some generic REMUX tools cut the stream at the wrong I-frame, leading to a 1-2 frame stutter on playback hardware. Framestor has rigorous quality control (QC) processes to ensure the MP4Box or MKVToolNix command lines are executed perfectly to avoid playback glitches on devices like the Nvidia Shield or Oppo clones.
FraMeSToR is, legally, piracy. However, their actions mirror those of a digital library. Consider:
They perform digital preservation that studios often fail to do themselves. Unlike streaming services (Netflix/Disney+) that remove or alter films for political or licensing reasons, a FraMeSToR remux is immutable.
While many groups can produce a REMUX, Framestor is a release group name. In the private tracker "rat race," groups compete to upload the fastest, most accurate, and highest-quality file.
Framestor (often stylized as -Framestor or -FraMeSToR) has earned a reputation over the last decade as the definitive authority on REMUXing. They do not typically produce encodes; they focus almost exclusively on creating the "ultimate" MKV from the retail disc.
Key traits of a Framestor release:
Several tools and software applications can perform remuxing and frameserving:
Understanding these concepts can be beneficial for anyone working with video content, from professionals in video production and editing to hobbyists and enthusiasts interested in video preservation and restoration.
Remux-FraMeSToR: The Gold Standard for Home Cinema In the high-definition media world, few names carry as much weight as FraMeSToR. If you’ve ever browsed a high-end private tracker or sought out the absolute best version of a movie, you’ve likely seen the tag REMUX-FraMeSToR. FraMeSToR is one of the most prominent and
But what exactly does it mean? Why do enthusiasts treat it as a "gold standard"? This article breaks down the technical details of a remux, the history of the FraMeSToR release group, and why their releases are so highly sought after. What is a Blu-ray Remux?
Before diving into the group itself, it is important to understand the format. A Remux is a lossless rip of a Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray disc.
1:1 Quality: Unlike "encodes" (like BDRip or x264/x265), a remux does not compress the video or audio. It is a bit-for-bit copy of the original stream.
Container Swap: The "remuxing" process takes the raw data from the disc's M2TS files and places it into a more flexible container, typically MKV.
No Menus: To save space and streamline playback, "bloat" like disc menus and trailers are removed.
Result: You get the exact same image and sound quality as the physical disc but in a single file that can be played on media players like Plex, Kodi, or specialized hardware. Who is FraMeSToR?
produced by is widely considered the gold standard for home media enthusiasts who want the highest possible video and audio quality without owning a physical disc. 💿 What is a Remux?
A "Remux" refers to a 1:1 copy of the video and audio streams from a physical Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray disc. Lossless Quality
: Unlike "Encodes" (which compress video to save space), a Remux does not alter the original data. Container Swap
: 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?
FraMeSToR is one of the most prestigious "internal" release groups in the private tracker community (specifically associated with ). They are known for:
: Ensuring that every technical aspect—HDR metadata, Dolby Vision profiles, and lossless audio tracks—is preserved perfectly. Hybrid Releases Remuxing Remuxing is the process of taking an
: They are famous for "Hybrid" remuxes, where they take the best parts from different sources (e.g., combining the IMAX-ratio video from a streaming service with the high-bitrate lossless audio from a physical disc).
: Having operated for years, their name in a file title (e.g., REMUX-FraMeSToR.mkv ) is treated as a mark of guaranteed quality by collectors. 🛠️ Key Technical Features : Typically 2160p (4K) HEVC with HDR10 or Dolby Vision
: Includes the highest-tier tracks found on the disc, such as Dolby TrueHD with Atmos DTS-HD Master Audio
: Includes all original PGS (Presentation Graphic Stream) subtitles from the disc.

FraMeSToR’s technical specification is brutally simple:
Why this is interesting: Most groups transcode (re-encode). FraMeSToR explicitly does not. This requires massive storage and bandwidth—a single 4K remux averages 60-90GB.
If you want to automate grabbing these files, your release profile in Radarr v3/v4 needs to prioritize the tag.
Custom Format JSON example:
"name": "Framestor REMUX",
"includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": true,
"specifications": [
"name": "Framestor Group",
"implementation": "ReleaseGroupSpecification",
"negate": false,
"required": true,

Set this custom format to a score of +10000. Any other REMUX (without the Framestor name) should get a score of +100. Radarr will then upgrade automatically.
The most unique feature of FraMeSToR is their obsessive Goofs tracking. Before releasing a remux, they manually review the disc for production errors. In their release notes (NFOs), they document:
This transforms the release from a simple copy into a critical edition. Film students and editors have been known to download FraMeSToR remuxes specifically for these goof reports, treating them as annotated reference copies.
