A WEBRip is created by capturing a video stream directly from a web service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, etc.) in real time or by downloading encrypted segments and decrypting them. This contrasts with:

Implication: WEBRip is lossy relative to the stream. The group likely used screen recording software or hardware capture cards (e.g., an Elgato) to record the video player, then re-encoded it. This introduces generational loss. However, with high bitrate sources and proper settings, a WEBRip can still look excellent—often better than a poorly re-encoded WEB-DL.

Why not WEB-DL? Perhaps the streaming service had strong DRM (Widevine L1) that was not yet cracked at the time, forcing a capture approach.
