Hello guys, I’m curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.

      But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he’s paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

      This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

            Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform

          I removed my downvote after realizing you’re actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a “webrip” can be a screen recording, whereas a “web-dl” by definition isn’t. By these definitions,

          Things are usually ripped by recording the screen

          could likely be true, even moreso if you count “recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp” as a screen recording.

            Most rips are webrips. At least the first ones. Then once the DVDs/BluRays come out they’re usually remuxes of those. Very few organizations know how to breake the web DRM thing, and it takes a while.

              Rips are rips, with a degradation in quality compared to the captured source. WEB-DLs are the source itself (of a chosen resolution), with no degradation.
