This is a custom format to help Sonarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.
You will need to add the following to your new Custom Format when created in your Quality Profile (`Setting` => `Profiles`) and then set the score to `-1000` or even `-10000`
!!! note
Depending on your renaming scheme it could happen that Radarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,
Depending on your renaming scheme it could happen that Sonarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,
This is a cosmetic annoyance until I come up with another way to solve this,
being that this Custom Format is used to not download BR-DISK it does its purpose as intended.
Several reasons why this is happening:
- Blame the often wrongly used naming of x265 encodes.
- Radarr v3/v4 uses dynamic custom formats.
- Sonarr v3/v4 uses dynamic custom formats.

### No-RlsGroup
### DV (WEBDL)
??? faq "No-RlsGroup - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
<sub>Dolby Vision = DoVi = DV</sub>
Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups getting a higher score.
For example a lot of EVO releases end up stripping the group name, so they appear as "upgrades", and they end up getting a decent score if other things match
??? faq "DV (WEBDL) - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
This is a special Custom Format that block WEBDLs **with** Dolby Vision but **without** HDR10 fallback.
!!! warning
This Custom Format works together with the normal [DV](#dv) Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.
If you don't use decent filenames (like not adding release groups) don't add this Custom Format, except if you want to upgrade them.
Most WEBDL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR10, What can results in playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.
Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.
