W3B-DL – Marcus muttered it aloud. "Web download." Not a Blu-ray rip, not a TV capture. This came from a streaming service. The "W3B" was leetspeak, a deliberate misspelling common among warez groups to evade automated content filters. Someone had ripped this directly from a browser stream.

Marcus ran a hexdump on the header. The first few bytes read 1A 45 DF A3 – a Matroska container. Good. He extracted the metadata.
