I'll try one more movie tonight and if it's the same crap, yeah I'm returning this scam device. You can read on their forum that P5 DV had a huge color shift not a long time ago so it seems the people in charge of the encoding on kscape are incompetent and lack quality control. https://www.kscapeow...

I think he was just commenting on the fact they won't be able to fit entire 4K catalogue on 192TB, which is fair, as they keep adding movies and have 3 different encodes for many, not sure how old that piece of marketing adcopy is. I am curious what the cut-off is for that tier though, but they prob...

KS is an expensive niche company (although they are now releasing lower-priced models), but it's definitely not snake oil. Hell, they even stopped claiming their audio is higher bitrate and just show it is same quality as lossless found on UHD BD now. However, foxbat and flojo do raise a legitimate ...

Nice, perhaps it's a safe assumption, that if a title is available on another streaming platform in 4K (at least iTunes/MA), but not on UHD BD yet, it will probably be available on KS too.

it's a very expensive streaming service/box with lossless audio and 100mbps bitrate encodes. It also have many HDR/4K release not available on disc. https://www.kaleidescape.com/movie-store/movies In each movie description, you can see the file size of the stream. Is there a maintained list of titl...

Always be very cautious with AI responses, it is talking about 8-bit there, while HDR HEVC is 10-bit, and it may be answering that way depending on how you phrase the question to feed into your expectation bias. The Limited range flag is set on most files made when created using mkvtoolnix, makeMKV,...

Thanks daffie! That explains why I had to raise my black level (above 50) on my LG C2 to get 65-66 to be visible and flash in a dark room, but it didn't make sense intuitively that this would be needed (and some movies looked like blacks were raised as a result). Appreciate the sourced info.

Thanks. Will changing brightness just slightly from 50 to 49 have a big impact on the colors/hue? I'm no expert about this but yes, it is better to change the white balance. Maybe @chros will chime in, he's the expert. @daffie may be referring to these 'optimized settings' maintained by P40L0 . I u...

OSC = Original Scene/Shot Cuts i.e. not generated but retailed sourced, whether WEB-DL or UHD BD.

AFAIK, it might matter which version of makeMKV is used, no? Could be how their encode wasn't affected. It does seem that it is worth verifying all EUR discs if using current version though.

Happens to the best of us, haha. Just in case, maybe this article could help recover deleted file(s) in future: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/1716222?hl=en

You can also see in the hand, envelope and bags in this frame, so brightness seems to be slightly different, so I doubt it: https://slow.pics/c/kecXpEAV

Also, there was barely any actual L2 trim in the KOR UHD BD RPU, so generating a new one for FRA UHD BD makes even more sense. Cheers.

Not sure if this matters, but makeMKV did recently have another update on Sep 30th, in case it fixed these issues: MakeMKV v1.17.8 (30.9.2024) Improved handling for discs with mastering errors and with structure protection Small improvements and bugfixes Notable bug fixes: Audio transcoding failed o...

Some movies just compress very well, so I would guess it's fine. You could always run a 7-2 comparison with the script for your input vs. output encodes if you're unsure.

Yeah, possibly Capelight or a 3rd party using some wonky tools or out of date authoring flow. The Second Sight GBR 4K UHD BD is coming shortly for Late Night with the Devil, so we'll see if that one has the issue with DV at all, likely will be fine and maybe better encoding overall. https://www.blu-...
