Hi guys,

I was wondering how people who upload first webdl/webrip/etc movies/tvshows rip the video file.. Is there any "official guide" how to? Some rips have HDR and DV so how they get these metadata cause I assume that just screen recording won't get it.

A more crude variation than using dedicated ripping tools is using yt-dlp. If you need a login to a service, you can pass the username and password or login with a browser and pass in the browser's cookies. I've personally heard you can do that to at least rip sub-gated Twitch VODs, anyway.

yt-dlp is a dedicated ripping tool, however, it doesn't try to break DRM. They let it exist out in the open because it doesn't touch DRM.
