| Attribute | Claimed Status | Technical Reality | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Resolution | 4k, 1080p, 720p | Often upscaled from lower sources; true native 4k is rare for leaked prints. | | Bitrate | High | Typically very low (1-3 Mbps) to keep file sizes under 2GB, resulting in pixelation in dark scenes. | | Audio | 5.1 Dolby | Often re-encoded to low-bitrate AAC; sync issues are common. | | Source | Web-DL / BluRay | Many files are CAM (recorded in theater) mislabeled as Web-DL. |
