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.

With your capitalisation of “rip” there, I nearly had a heart attack thinking something (implausibly) had signalled the end of rips from streaming platforms lol.
If your web browser can play it once, it can play it any number of times. Look into Widevine decryption. Basically you load the video in a special browser, save both the video and decryption keys, then decrypt the video file.
Yo, what you are asking for is called webDL. webRIP is screen recording and there are quality differences between them. If u are interested in webDL’ing check out https://cdm-project.com/explore/repos. Also check around videohelp forums. I won’t mention anything else in here because it would put me in danger legally.
When it’s discovered it stops working. Rippers have custom reverse engineered tooling and keep it secret.

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

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.
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.
