Ages ago I bought a movie off of a certain company’s video streaming service. We will call them GRC for short since I do not want to draw the attention of their bots. I downloaded the movie onto my PC via the GRC Windows 11 app, but rather than a simple .mkv like I hoped, I found a folder with 5 different files. Two of them are .mp4s whose names end with audio_5 and video_12 respectively. Two of the files are something called .MPD files. One of them is something called a .DFXP File.
Does anyone know how I turn this mess into something I can play off a Plex or Jellyfin server? The *_video_12.mp4 is 110% encrypted since nothing plays when I run it through VLC.
Yes, the movie can be played via browser on the GRC website. I think you gave me an idea, and I want to run it by you to see your thoughts on it. Now I have the hardware to do a WebRip from GRC’s website, but avoided that for this movie since I wanted to have the higher bitrate of a WebDL. You got me thinking though, what if I do a “webrip” but done from the GRC app? Since bandwith isn’t a factor (I believe) because the 7gb movie is right on my computer, would I not get WebDL quality?
What do you mean by doing a "webrip” from the GRC app? Is it actually a web app in disguise? Or you mean doing a screen capture?
Yes, screen capture with an HDMI splitter and capture card.
Given the information provided,
Media Size: 7168MB + 100MB = 7268MB = 58144Mb
Run time: 1h47m = 6420s
Average bitrate = 58144Mb / 6420s = ~9.06Mbps
That is definitely not FHD Blu-ray quality (~30Mbps) but better than DVD on average (~6Mbps).
I think a quality HDMI capture card should be able to not just match but surpass this bitrate.
