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.
It’s a secret – otherwise the streaming services in question would immediately patch the vulnerability

WebRip is basically exactly that: capture audio/video during screening. WebDL is secret magic to tickle the streaming service for the files it sends to the browser during streaming.
If you get access to the media files that the streaming service sends you without recording it yourself it’s WebDL. Could also be done by decrypting media you “downloaded” in their app to watch later.
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.
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.
