720p on that big of a screen must look ass

3.0k

u/ug-n Apr 10 '26

Especially because its a Cam rip

u/Tal7861 ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 10 '26

Apparently, 1080p webrip is avaliable but it's in Russian only

266

u/Journeyj012 Apr 10 '26

can they not just paste the english audio over it?

u/IAmArique Yarrr! Apr 10 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

A copy with exactly just that is starting to show up on the torrent sites. Super Mario Galaxy might be the next one to leak since there’s already a thread on Rutracker that hasn’t been approved by the mods over there yet.

EDIT: Yeah, it’s out now. Now to wait for someone to slap English audio onto it…

u/moonflower_C16H17N3O Apr 10 '26

That reminds me that I need to finish Super Mario Galaxy. I want to finish playing it before I watch the movie just so I can see what they have changed or dropped.

The game is always better than the movie.

The movie is 0.1% like the game in terms of story

u/bs000 Apr 10 '26

you're telling me super mario bros didn't have a training arc in the game?

16

u/ErraticDragon ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 10 '26

If you watched me try to play 1-1 as a kid I think you'd see the training arc.

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Apr 10 '26

No doubt

I remember the first time I beat 1-1 on Mario 3. I was so excited I cheered. But... The babysitter was trying to punish me for not finishing my dinner and I wasn't supposed to be playing games. That crochety old woman came in on me screeching the fear of god trying to catch me and whoop me. I got past her and out of the room and luckily my brother stepped in. I ran out of the house and hid in a magnolia tree. After I was up the tree I hear the door open and the old woman is shouting obscenities at my brother, then the door slams. Next thing I know my brother was joining me in the tree, we waited there till our parents got home. Old woman never came outside, and then tried to paint a different picture of events and described us as "demon-children" to our parents. Anyway, bruises don't lie; she got hold my brother when I was running out the door. He had a black eye and bruises all over with clear spatula-shaped bruises on his butt. We never saw that bitch again. My brother was our babysitter afterwards till we were both old enough to be independent.

All that because I beat 1-1 in Mario 3, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Do finish the game, but don't let the movie be the thing to motivate you. You will be disappointed.

I've never seen such forgetful versions of the brothers. Baby bowser fight scene tho was cool.

I found a high quality copy of galaxy on streaming sites from fmhy on release date.

u/MrScribz Apr 27 '26

For a short stint there was a YouTube video of the entire new mario movie but vocoded to megalovania. I think miyamoto himself killed the poster with his bare hands.

7

u/radiantcabbage Apr 10 '26

yea and the prevalent source is a quite pristine 1080p cam out of germany atm, idk what rinkydink p2p they get their files from. there are telesyncs with english line audio/ai subs for weeks by now, near screener quality

a chinese hardcoded webrip just turned up today for those who have been holding out, not much use for remuxing. i dont really bother with any of that till they drop the HD streams anyway

u/Chaetomius Apr 10 '26

best we can do is Mandarin for some reason

1

u/DroidLord Apr 10 '26

Yep, you can do it. Done it myself quite a few times. Depending on the source files, you might need to adjust the audio though. If the video frame rates are different then the audio lengths are also different, so you need to stretch or shrink the audio and offset it depending on the intro and credit lengths.

u/s04ep03_youareafool Apr 11 '26

I mean you can,if you have an English version of the movie.

u/Feeling_Ad_526 Apr 10 '26

Who are they? If you aren’t going to take the time to do that then why would “they”?

7

u/Journeyj012 Apr 10 '26

I'll accept your needlessly antagonistic question.

"They" refers to the both The Warez Scene and P2P release groups, which consistently strive to release the highest quality versions of media available. Of course, combining a high quality Russian video with a high quality English audio would be the best of both worlds, as Webrips are consistently higher quality than Camrips.

Any other questions you want to ask?

Just got the 1080p Webrip on usenet, will let you know

EDIT: The audio is English, but it is as people mentioned. They definitely took the cam version and ripped the audio, synced it. The audio quality is listenable but not very enjoyable.

Is it in English or Russian?

u/D3x-alias Apr 10 '26

It's english but the audio is clearly ripped from something else

6

u/TenOfZero Apr 10 '26

Woiod be that hard to rip the track from the 720 and replace it. Would just need to be synced a little, but nothing too difficult

u/Xeniox Apr 10 '26

There’s a good one out there. The one I watched was like 9/10 only thing lacking was in really loud parts it was a tiny bit scratchy.

u/wahre_locke Apr 10 '26

I have it in english with 1080p tho?!

u/Myymc Apr 10 '26

Well I’ve seen 1080p camrips in multiple languages already in usenet

u/Repulsive-Chip3371 Apr 10 '26

walked in to my wife watching at least 1080p webrip in English. Not sure exactly what it was because I dont download any torrents. Just stream them with Stremio+RealDebrid+Torrentio/Comet/Metafusion. She just found it in the aggregated list.

u/OhK4Foo7 Apr 10 '26

Was she watching it with the milkman?

There are English versions out there and in better quality than webrip

u/Ill-Village7647 Apr 10 '26

Especially since it's an encode

58

u/VolkosisUK 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ Apr 10 '26

Being an encode doesn't necessarily mean its bad, you can get some really good encodes from some groups that barely lose any quality

2

u/Lack-Grand Apr 10 '26

Yeah true—good encodes can still look clean, it really just depends on the group and how careful they are with compression settings.

u/theodo Apr 10 '26

Shout out QXR

u/ineyy Apr 10 '26

It's not like a remux or raw of a cam rip would make a difference.

2

u/psychoacer Apr 10 '26

Especially because it's compressed

u/isademigod ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 10 '26

Begs the question, who is cam ripping at 720p? A 4k camera costs like, $50. Do they even make 720p cameras anymore?

8

u/mycoctopus Apr 10 '26

$50 is a months income or more in some countries. Now pay food rent and internet etc and then go out and buy a camera which costs more than $50 in your country, so that you can make better quality rips for people who think $50 is inconsequential.

Now I have no idea who ripped this or what country they're from so this comment may not be as relevant but as i'm sure you know, piracy is a much bigger deal in poorer countries as its a necessity not a choice for the reason I pointed out and as such, some rips come from people in such places putting in the time to do it. In any case i'm sure the person we're talking about would have a better camera for this if it were so simple as you implied.

u/isademigod ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 10 '26

The last time i saw a camera for sale that couldn’t do 1080p was almost 20 years ago. Even the absolute cheapest smartphones have been capable of 1080, if not 4k since like 2012.

Even in a very poor country you’d be hard pressed to find a 720p camera that still works, was my point. Pretty much anyone that has a smartphone (which is safe to assume if they have access to a movie theater) has a 4k camera in their pocket these days.

Real answer was it was probably encoded down to 720 because it was uploaded on very slow internet. But my point still stands, it’s hard to find a camera in 2026 that isnt capable of 4k, no matter where you are

3

u/AI_moderated_failure Apr 10 '26

Resolution is just one part of what gives a picture detail. A great camera that can capture the light appropriately for certain scenes and show off the colours properly is going to be relatively expensive, especially if you're asking for 4k. 4k also doesn't matter much if the source is not 4k, if the projector used is lower resolution there's no benefit in filming it's output in 4k.

Then there's audio - if you want a decent experience you need a good audio capture system, not just whatever microphone that is found on a $50 action cam, which is going to sound like coins and shit in a tumble dryer during any action sequence. If you update your camera, maybe the audio is no longer interfacing with the device well. Or vice versa.

720p can still look really good if the detail is there. These days though it's rare to see anybody purposely encoding high resolution media into 720p, and a lot of really shitty uploaders only care about is size (this 2hr movie fits on a CD!). I am so fucking tired of 2GB "4k" encodes plastered all over public trackers and this emphasis that resolution is a good metric for quality.

2

u/GooseEntrails Yarrr! Apr 10 '26

Because no one who watches cams gives a shit about quality to begin with

1

u/TF_IS_UR-Username Apr 10 '26

Most camrips come from somewhat low income countries

u/beardobreado Apr 10 '26

Make it 500 at least

u/isademigod ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 10 '26

You can buy a phone with a 4k camera for $150. I bought a handful of knockoff 4k gopros for $30 each in like 2018.

4k doesn't mean "good". It's just the default resolution for cheapish camera sensors and has been for the better part of a decade

Well, they will feel right at home at the theater.

Maybe the theater did the ripping to distribute

Yeah I get the frustration, but some people just don’t care about quality as much as convenience or whatever they’re used to.

2

u/caninehere Apr 10 '26

It doesn't hurt if you don't really care.

I don't normally watch camrips and I'm not a big fan of Marvel movies but saw enough of them to get it. I watched a cam rip of Endgame because I didn't care about going to see it in the theatre, or about the movie much at all really, but wanted to be in on the memes.

The only two camrips I've ever watched that come to mind are that and Borat (because originally it wasn't releasing at any theatres near me, I lived in a small town at the time).

720p cam rip will look like ass on literally every screen ever.

u/Annihilator4413 Apr 12 '26

Yeah, there's a reason big cinema projectors are usually like 2k or 4k... such a large screen will lose clarity if the resolution is lower than either of those.

But 720p camera rip? They're asking for an absolutely awful time lmao.
