At least so far, some private groups have access to Widevine decryptors.","comments":[{"id":46161885,"user":"SSLy","time":1764945636,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

The problem is the quality.

Those streams are only like 6-10mbps bitrate. A regular blu-ray is closer to 30, and UHD can be well over 100mbps.","comments":[{"id":46180617,"user":"SSLy","time":1765102438,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Depends, high quality UHD bitstreams from quality streaming providers are around 25 MB/s. That's ~50 AVC-equivalent.

UHD BluRays indeed go higher, usually 70-ish. But the former are already very watchable, and plenty of groups can get them.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46180617"}],"comments_count":1,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46163534"}],"comments_count":2,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46161885"}],"comments_count":3,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46161586"}],"comments_count":4,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46161012"},{"id":46161034,"user":"utf_8x","time":1764941540,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"
