One of the multiple terms used by movie pirates to describe the source material/copying method that was used to make a bootlegged VCD, SVCD or DivX copy of a movie.
Screener normally refers to a copy made from either VHS tape or from DVD-Video disc that are sent to movie critics and censors before the movie is available to public through video rental chains. Normally refers to a very good quality bootlegged copy.
For more information, see the glossary definitions for:
Most of the screener's I've experienced have numbers at the top, I'm guessing that's like a timer, how long it's been on for.. damn annoying.

I normally download R5's because they come out hours after screeners. Funny thing is, I have a friend who actually owns a real VHS screener of Team America, he said his aunt picked it up in a pawn shop in NY.
