Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to have the file in 1080p and not in 720p

I would like to point out that I am a beginner in this field and that I don't know it very well.

Whether you can get 1080p with a L3 CDM depends on the streaming service. Most will only serve up to 720p for an L3 client. Generally speaking, for 1080p and better you need an L1 CDM - which you can forget about obtaining.

I did many audio-video-subtitle decryptions but I am still a beginner, too. There are so many things to learn.

As darkw4v3 said, it's the streamer's choice. But you can find many L3-protected contents in 1080p. Because every Android device and every computer on this earth, let you watch L3-protected contents. And that guarantees the maximum audience number for the streamer.

L1-devices are the minority. L1-devices are not very cheap for everyone to buy. If a streamer completely moves its HD contents into L1 protection, it can lose a serious number of audience.

According to my experiences, even the most popular streamers like NFlix, are using L3 for 1080p contents. For each content, I noticed two 1080p streams incoming, one of them with a higher bitrate with a different encoding profile (I mean AVC profiles, Main-High) and with L1 protection, the other one with a lower bitrate with L3 protection.

So, you don't need to think like "Forget 1080p if you don't have a L1 CDM".

And it is also said that all UltraHD contents are protected with L1 and/or PlayReady. But you can also find L3-protected Ultra HD contents (I found on MUBI). Yes, they are rare, but they exist.

So, we don't really have to match L1 only with HD&UHD, L3 only with SD... It changes site to site, content to content.

It is a little bit complicated "look and see" event. You should try it by yourself and discover the background.
