Just the other day I was noticing your AI upscale for Jestem (2005) is on both PTP and ANT trackers as a "WEB-DL"

How should they know it's an upscale when they don't know FLM.

Maybe The Scene needs to come up with new identifying options? Or have we just not kept up with them?

If it is not a Rip or a Download or plain Web then what is it?

Ghost's work is legendary far and wide across the Internet.

No, I don't have a premium account. I downloaded it with TubeDIgger. It was the only software I have that could grab the large file with the VP9 codec.

This is weird, either yt-dlp is missing some formats, or TubeDIgger has built-in YouTube Premium account?

I don't have a Premium account so I can't confirm this. That's why I am asking.

Ghost did indeed Get the 1080P premium format through his downloader

Thank you for confirming this. Yes, format 356 is exclusive to premium.

After some comparisons I think this might just be another AI-Upscale and re-encoded by YouTube.

Because I think the quality of some scenes isn't even as good as previous ghost's version.

Thanks for the fix. Now I can download it, once I finish another exclusive sourced from you...

Was the YouTube link the actual DEFA premiere, or did they sneak it out somewhere else before? I suppose I could email DEFA and ask but I am not gonna. I considered the possibility that the rutracker was a re-use of your own work because that HAS happened but I confess I did not compare them. If rutracker downloaded their source from the web it is a web download, right? I don't think there is an abbreviation for "Got it from eMule, dude".

Here is the comparison between them.
Looks like Rutraker version is a legit WEB-DL made from same Master and It is better then YT version(its Youtube's fault for having such bad 1080p bitrates even for premium)

Sadly no point keeping the YT version. Hope DEFA puts this somewhere better like amazon.

I wasn't aware of the torrent, when I found the film on Youtube yesterday.

Both versions really seem to have the same source. I just wonder where the Russians got it from.

I've watched the smaller YT video on my big TV screen and it looked good without issues. There was only one scene where I could see light banding.

Well, it was a DEFA film.

When I found the torrent I did not dare to make any claims about it, because I know nothing of the history of the versions that have appeared over the years. I found it and decided it looked good, that was all I knew.
