Unlike a "WEBRip" (recorded via screen capture), a WEB-DL is the exact, original file streamed from the service's servers—downloaded, stripped of DRM (Digital Rights Management), and repackaged. This results in the highest possible quality, often better than a Blu-ray released years later.
: Refers to 10-bit color depth, which provides over a billion colors, significantly reducing "banding" in dark scenes compared to standard 8-bit files.

: This refers to the video's resolution, specifically 1920 x 1080 pixels.
