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.

I don’t know about a guide, but I believe it’s still possible to rip 4K HDR using an HDCP downconverter . HDR/DV data is included over HDMI, the problem is that it’s all encrypted (along with the 4k stream itself) with HDCP 2 which isn’t publicly broken yet. This box (and others like HDfury) does some tricks to force a fall back to HDCP 1, which has been broken for a long time, so you should then just need a capture card that supports it.

Scene releases may have better/faster techniques depending on the streaming platform, but they probably wouldn’t talk about them if they did.
