...in release names?

For example:

Pineapple.Express.2008.UNRATED.DVDRip.XviD-FRAGMENT

or

The.Alphabet.Killer.LIMITED.DVDRip.XviD-NeDiVx

or

Linewatch.STV.DVDRip.XviD-BULLDOZER.

And what means WS, PDTV, HDTV, x264...?

STV means TV movie [lame as fuck don't download... usually sci-fi tv movies which suck balls]
WS is wide screen [way it was meant to be watched ]
FS is full screen Surprised 4:3 [cut to fit the screen]
Unrated means it differs from a theatrical release (IE. Rated ones are prolly rated R while Unrated wouldn't pass MPAA rating system [more swearing, more blood, gore, sex, etc])
Limited means a limited release. Razz

no clu on this tho PDTV HDTV X264. I don't fiddle with that shit. Crying or Very sad

PDTV and HDTV are the what the the source for the rip was -> PDTV (Pure Digital Television) means that the source is digital tv (satellite, cable), HDTV is hdtv

x264 is a codec, i'm not sure but i think it's an open source version of h264 (sort of like xvid to divx).

as far as I know, x264 is open source. Could be wrong tho but i think u and I are right.

x264 is an opensource encoder for the h264 standard
much like xvid and divx are mpeg4 encoders, but go beyond the actual standard and thus won't play on all mpeg4 players unless their features are scaled back to within the standard
x264 doesn't differ from the commercial counterparts in almost any way - except that it's usually better than them Smile
open source allows devs to quickly add experimental features the community comes up with - as long as it conforms to h264 standards
any codec decoding the stream will be a standard h264 codec - x264 has nothing to do with actual decoding
