a) “inception” – lowercase, no spaces. Common in scene releases to avoid filesystem errors.
b) “2010” – differentiates it from the 2010 TV series of the same name (unrelated) and ensures correct metadata scraping in media players like Kodi or Plex.
c) “1080p” – vertical resolution of 1080 pixels. For Inception, this usually means a Blu-ray rip. True 1080p has a 16:9 aspect ratio (1920x1080), but the film’s theatrical aspect ratio is 2.39:1, so the actual video will have black bars top and bottom (letterboxing).
d) “mkv” – Matroska Video container. Unlike MP4, MKV can hold virtually unlimited video, audio, and subtitle tracks, chapters, and attachments (like fonts). Rips of Inception often use MKV to preserve the original Blu-ray’s DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track and multiple subtitle languages.
