Complete film and video download delivery

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers films and other recorded video delivered as electronic files that can be downloaded and stored locally. It covers complete movies, episodes and other bounded recordings, without a default genre, duration, codec, resolution, file size or commercial model. Purchase, rental and subscription downloads qualify only when the actual local-copy and permitted-use conditions are defined. Streams, live broadcast, audio-only downloads, software, physical video media, original creation and bare network-access services are separate outputs. [un-cpc3-video; apple-video-download]

The material method need is rendition-specific shared preparation/storage attribution, complete local-delivery acceptance and separation of original-creation reuse from repeated transfers. Original production is an upstream layer with an explicit reuse share, not repeated foreground filming for each download. Video quality and soundtrack/subtitle completeness define comparable products; one byte, user, licence or sale is not the functional unit.

How well	Declared edition, duration, video resolution/frame rate/codec, audio tracks, subtitle tracks, byte manifest, integrity result and permitted playback compatibility; actual producer criteria
How long or cycle	One completed transfer and local-receipt cycle; actual preparation/storage allocation period and access/expiry conditions are separate qualifiers. Later playback and post-receipt retention are outside this gate
reference_flow_link	reference_download

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Complete verified video download
Reference flow property	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345
Reference unit group	Units of items 5beb6eed-33a9-47b8-9ede-1dfe8f679159

Display unit item means exactly the public unit Item(s); Chinese 件 is the same count unit. Segments are reconciled to the one complete manifest. Required qualifiers must appear in dataset metadata and acceptance records. Count does not establish equivalent quality, convert to kg, or confer legal approval.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	Count only complete verified local deliveries with cp_delivery; partial transfer attempts remain inputs, not outputs.
energy_unit	electricity rows	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	kWh	Preserve the public Net calorific value property and Units of energy 93a60a57-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 unit group; meter kWh, never infer it from bytes, price or media duration.
activity_metadata	collection activity	separate count/capacity/time records	item; byte; s	Record actual byte sizes, reserved time and measured resource shares separately. One downloaded item requires its complete declared rendition, not a fixed byte-to-count factor.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Receipt of the identified existing master through completion of the specified locally stored copy
starting_condition_role	Download-production/delivery foreground gate with upstream original-creation linkage
product_classification_scope	Downloadable recorded video content; no genre-specific route assumption
recursive_input_rule	Record a reused downloadable rendition as one identified upstream version with its conserved burden share. Stop at its upstream dataset; do not multiply the original by requests, copies or licences
upstream_dataset_requirement	Original creation, matched electricity, actual equipment production/end-of-life and provider storage/transfer inventories with explicit interfaces; unknowns remain incomplete
disclosure	Original reuse and rendering period; retention/cache/replicas; origin and receiving device; network segments; provider cooling/asset coverage; failures; excluded playback/post-receipt storage; missing upstream layers

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_delivery	all stages	Include actual master ingestion, rendition preparation/acceptance, packaging, object retention/cache, authorization, transfer, local writing and integrity checks up to accepted receipt. Include failed work, partial transfers and retries. Later playback, long-term local retention and deletion belong to a separately stated use/end-of-life scenario.	un-cpc3-video; apple-video-download
boundary_original	source_original	Separate original filming/editing and reusable assets from download operations. A linked original inventory must disclose its creation scope and allocation across actual exploitation routes. This gate alone is not cradle-to-gate; omitted original creation may not be labelled zero.	un-cpc3-video
boundary_infrastructure	supporting infrastructure	Map origin, cache, backbone/access, router and receiving device interfaces. Include attributable reserved/idle capacity, cooling, backup, failover and monitoring in owned measurements or specified supplier inventories. If a site uses water, fuel, a refrigerant, a consumable or produces waste/direct releases, add each actually identified atomic exchange with measured amount and medium; do not infer absence from a digital output or invent manufacturing emissions.	gsf-sci110
boundary_provider	owned/provider stages	Purchased jobs must identify accepted technical delivery and embedded scope. Electricity/equipment already embedded in a provider inventory may not be added as owned inputs. Missing provider electricity, cooling, network or device production is a data gap, not a reason to omit the actual route.	gsf-sci110

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
preparation	Version preparation and acceptance	required	All deliveries; owned or specified outsourced interface; exact transformations are route-specific	download production and delivery	per declared reference flow
storage	Download-object storage	required	All deliveries; owned or specified outsourced interface; exact transformations are route-specific	download production and delivery	per declared reference flow
network	Network transfer	required	All deliveries; owned or specified outsourced interface; exact transformations are route-specific	download production and delivery	per declared reference flow
receipt	Local receipt and integrity verification	required	All deliveries; owned or specified outsourced interface; exact transformations are route-specific	download production and delivery	per declared reference flow
assets	Owned supporting equipment	conditional	Owned devices outside provider-inclusive inventories	download production and delivery	per declared reference flow

Each stage uses disjoint energy/provider pools. Conditional rows are instantiated only for the actual route; absence requires evidence. No universal elementary emission is prescribed for purchased-electricity digital operations. Upstream generation emissions stay in the electricity inventory. Empty waste/elementary subsections do not establish site completeness.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivide	energy and providers	Prefer job/stage subdivision and direct metering. For shared facilities use a documented causal allocation based on measured or reserved resources/time, validated against total meters. Retain unused/idle support shares and reconcile residuals. Bytes, duration, users or revenue alone are not measured electricity.	gsf-sci110
allocation_reuse	original and prepared rendition	Maintain one conserved original/rendition ledger across downloads, streams, broadcast and other uses. Subdivide separable rendition work first. For a genuinely shared undivided workload, document the finite supported beneficiaries and shares; allocate the download-route pool across complete comparable deliveries, including failed work in the numerator. Prospective delivery counts need a labelled scenario, later reconciliation and sensitivity. No arbitrary default exploitation life or download count.	un-cpc3-video; gsf-sci110
allocation_devices	owned devices	Use device-specific reserved-time fraction of expected installed life multiplied by the resource fraction, with actual configuration and upstream inventory. Evidence must support both fractions and life; revalidate replacement/retirement. Split unlike hardware configurations and preserve device-unit properties.	gsf-sci110
allocation_outputs	multiple products and failures	Do not average unequal renditions without declaring a measured representative mix. Bundled episodes reconcile individual manifests and shared overhead; failed/aborted copies do not add accepted outputs. Revenue allocation requires separate justified sensitivity and never turns currency into product count.	un-cpc3-video

For one rendition and allocation period, subdivide disjoint pools before normalization. Let N be the actual complete accepted delivery count, strictly greater than zero. Attributable metered electricity E, purchased job share J and device share H in that pool enter one delivery as E/N, J/N and H/N, preserving their respective kWh and item numerator units. Original inventory burden B enters only through the evidenced download-route share s, giving B × s/N per delivery; reconcile shares across all channels and remaining beneficiaries. Shared prepared-rendition work is allocated once in the same way. A separately metered individual delivery uses its own record without division by another pool’s N. Separate unlike renditions into pools or document the actual representative mix; never mix periods or repeat provider-inclusive activities.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
calculate_delivery	all inventory rows	Sum nonduplicated attributable exchange quantities for the one declared complete delivery after original/rendition/provider/device allocation; output is exactly 1 item. Keep numerator units and failed work, while reconciling allocated totals to the original meters and finite reuse pools.	cp_delivery; cp_source; cp_energy; cp_provider; cp_device	per declared reference flow	un-cpc3-video; gsf-sci110
calculate_metrics	qualifiers	Reconcile segments/bytes/tracks to the complete rendition manifest and accepted local object. Byte/time records characterize storage/transfer workload, not a direct energy or quality conversion.	cp_delivery; cp_provider	accepted completeness and activity records	un-cpc3-video; apple-video-download

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_product	reference_download	Bind edition/rendition, duration, quality, sound/subtitle tracks, device, integrity and rights conditions. Do not compare incompatible content as equal counted items.	cp_delivery; apple-video-download
quality_period	all processes	Cover actual preparation and storage pools, transfer attempts and local receipt, matching sites/periods and regional supply. Missing telemetry remains explicit.	cp_energy; cp_provider
quality_allocation	all inputs	Disclose measured versus prospective counts, reserved versus used shares, expected device life, original exploitation boundaries, residuals and sensitivity. No universal energy/GB, retention, loss or lifetime value.	cp_source; cp_energy; cp_device
quality_identity	all inputs	Verify each actual flow reference property/unit, configuration, region and supplier scope; blank identities and missing upstream inventories remain gaps.	cp_provider; cp_device; supplier originals

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_reference	reference_download	Require the complete declared locally stored rendition and one accepted delivery record. Reject streamed-only sessions, segmented partials, original rights transfers and byte/user/revenue units substituted for the product.	un-cpc3-video; apple-video-download
validate_basis	all inventory rows	Require the same per declared reference flow denominator in both languages, linked protocols and preserved numerator units. Each stage pool and accepted-output count must reconcile. Reject kg only when used to replace the complete-video reference output or item denominator; evidenced native mass/kg inputs, wastes and direct emissions remain valid numerators per the same accepted item. Arbitrary bytes-to-energy conversions fail.	gsf-sci110
validate_scope	all processes	Require origin, cache, network, local-receipt, owned/provider electricity/cooling/equipment and source-original scopes. A missing actual route, direct exchange or upstream dataset makes dataset coverage incomplete. Conditional absence requires evidence.	gsf-sci110; un-cpc3-video
validate_conservation	allocation	Reconcile reuse and shared-resource ledgers across all beneficiaries. Reject double-counted provider/owned power or hardware and the full original burden repeated per download. Unknown original shares cannot be silently zeroed.	gsf-sci110
validate_claim	dataset	Report checks performed/skipped, coverage, identity gaps, allocation uncertainties and upstream exclusions. Candidate methodology and structural checks do not establish scientific approval, legal rights, complete lifecycle coverage or an SCI-conformant score.	un-cpc3-video; gsf-sci110

10. Published Dataset Profile
