PREDVD by itself seems to barely exist in the wild let alone HQ PreDVD
predb has 1 release
TPB has a few dozen
common private sites - only usenet, 11 releases - all for ~3 hindi movies
no valid use cases reported in the issue only hypothetical names

not sure if it's worth the effort

It is mainly for indian movies (which includes hindi tamil, telugu, malayalam etc) if we search we will get ~ 1000 releases from most sites (ex 1**7x). Main issue is PreDVD (which includes PreDVDRip) is count as webdl which is problematic if you have large indian movie collection.
