Unlocking the AV Numbering System: Decoding SSIS, STARS, and MIDV Prefixes

What is an AV Code?

An AV code is a coding system used to identify Japanese adult videos. Each code consists of two parts: a brand code and a serial number. For example, in the code MOGI-150, "MOGI" is the brand code, and "150" is the serial number. This coding system allows for quick identification of the video's production company and release order.

Common Studio Code Prefix Table

Brand Prefix	Production Company
SSIS	S1
STARS	SOD
MIDV	MOODYZ
JUFE	Fitch
IPX/IPZZ	IdeaPocket
PPPD	OPPAI
ABF/ABW	Prestige
JUL	MADONNA

Using this table, you can easily find out which production company a particular code belongs to. For example, the code AED-255 has the brand prefix "AED", which is not in this table, but you can search for it on the website to find the corresponding company.

How to Read AV Code Numbers

The numbers in an AV code usually represent the release order of the video. The larger the number, the newer the video. For example, in the code PKYS-019, the number "019" indicates that it is the 19th work in the series. This order can help you quickly understand the update status and production year of a particular series.

Difference between Uncoded and Coded AV Codes

The main difference between uncoded and coded AV codes lies in their release form and content restrictions. Coded AV codes usually correspond to videos with copyright protection and content restrictions, while uncoded AV codes correspond to videos without these restrictions. The format of uncoded AV codes may differ, such as videos on streaming platforms like FC2 or 1pondo, which may have different code formats than coded videos. These differences reflect the different approaches to content regulation and release in the Japanese AV industry.
