I downloaded the movie after seeing it in theatre to once again enjoy it from the comfort of my home. Seeing 2160p, I thought it’s going to be a webcam rip but the title says webrip. Where is this leaked from that has Dolby Vision on a movie still in theatre?

    Would that be like on a tripod in the audience area recording the screen? Seems lossy somehow so I figure I’m misunderstanding. I’m pretty ignorant (~fully ignorant lol) about this, apologies, ya just piqued my curiosity.

      Fun fact: this is how films get digitized, they play the film in a tiny movie theater just big enough for the camera. The whole apperatus is about the size of a washing machine

        Wtf lol, that just seems so…low tech? I certainly can’t think of a “better” way to do it, guess I imagined some fully enclosed (or maybe that’s what you’re describing).

        It’s like finding out almost all power generation is really just different ways of boiling water lol

      yes.

      it is! but that’s where Shannon sampling theorem comes in. The sampling only needs to be twice as good as the source, and then you can reconstruct the source perfectly. (with some assumptions, e.g. correct color gamut, focal point, etc.).
