Around 2010, a user named "Yify" began releasing movies encoded with a specific philosophy: smallest file size with "acceptable" quality. Using older x264 codecs and low bitrates, YIFY/YTS could shrink a 40GB BluRay to 700MB. For millions of people in countries with slow internet, data caps, or limited storage, YTS was a godsend.
If you want Footloose in 2160p without legal risk, here are options as of 2025:
| Service | Resolution | Audio | Special Features | Price | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Paramount 4K BluRay | 2160p native | Dolby Atmos (remastered) | Commentaries, deleted scenes, featurette | $27.99 | | Apple TV / iTunes | 2160p (stream) | Dolby 5.1 | Extras often included | $14.99 (purchase) | | Amazon Prime (rent) | 1080p (only) | Stereo | None | $3.99 rental | | Disney+ (Star/Hulu) | 4K (but compressed) | 5.1 | None | Subscription | Footloose.1984.2160p.BluRay.x265.10bit.5.1 -YTS...
Note: The official 4K BluRay is far superior to any YTS release. The bitrate on the disc is up to 100 Mbps. A YTS 2160p file might be 5 Mbps. That is a 20x difference. If you love Footloose, buy the disc.
The original 35mm print of Footloose has a distinct, gritty 80s texture. In standard HD, that grit sometimes looks like noise. In this 2160p (4K) release, it looks like film. Around 2010, a user named "Yify" began releasing
This is the core identifier: the film Footloose, released in 1984. Directed by Herbert Ross, it starred Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack, a Chicago teen who moves to a small Midwestern town where dancing and rock music have been banned. Knowing the release year is crucial for version control—there is a 2011 remake, so 1984 signals the original, superior film.
-YTS refers to the release group YTS (formerly YIFY). From roughly 2010–2020, YTS was the most famous name in movie torrenting, known for: The original 35mm print of Footloose has a
Important distinction: YTS encodes prioritize file size over ultimate quality. For Footloose in 2160p, a YTS x265 10bit 5.1 copy might be ~7-12 GB. A full remux (untouched Blu-ray) is ~60-80 GB. The YTS version is good for casual viewing on a 55” TV from 8 feet away, but videophiles will notice softer detail, slight compression noise, and lower audio bitrates (often 5.1 at 224-384 kbps instead of lossless TrueHD or DTS-HD MA).
If you have the bandwidth and storage, seek a remux or a higher-bitrate encode from groups like Framestor, EPSiLON, or SWTYBLZ.
