It's widesrceen (or cinemascope), not 16:9. 1280p x ... is considered to be 720p.

ah, the aspect determines the size of the screen, not the pixels?

So basically this (Rectangle) screen size would be an aspect of 1280 x 542?

Yes. In some ways the market's decision to define UHD by the horizontal dimension makes this easier, although confusing in that now we use both methods.

EDIT: I responded to a post when I was at the bottom of a page so I missed posts and re-explained what Ghost and DreamScape already had! Well, now I deleted the redundant portion of this post so I do not seem TOTALLY dense. To continue...

I got it downloaded in 720p from Tubi in the U.S. using yt-dlp and no VPN. English subtitles too. I will post it when done reading once I find or create the correct movie thread. I am just doing things one at a time.

Yeah, unfortunately the subs for that movie on tubi isn't hard-coded, only Soft subs

Thanks btw!

Yes I got the soft subtitles also with yt-dlp and resynced them to the download. It is annoying that Tubi subtitles downloaded are sometimes out of sync when they are apparently fine streaming.

OK, I see citronleaf took care of downloading the Tubi video thank you!

Moonee, I looked at your screenshot. Were you using Video DownloadHelper? If so, I know it sometimes has a limit on the resolution it downloads. I have seen 1080p videos limited to 720p. So I guess it sometimes limits 720p videos to 480p. Maybe there is a Premium version they want to promote that gives full resolution. If not that then I do not know why.

Ah, yes. The browser plugins can't mux together separate video and audio tracks, which is sometimes how platforms stream higher resolutions.

I've been meaning to ask, how do you get the information like this on a video file?

Like, do you use a tool or is there some other way to get this info
