Grainy background (blu ray rip, ripped with os x)

Post by Hububi »

Hey,
I copied several movies, but every film has a slight grainy background, especially if the background is brighter. I have played the mkv files with VLC and Plex and both players have the same problem. What is it?
Please help me ;)

There is only one explanation: the Blu-rays you ripped are grainy to begin with.

I know, that makemkv doesn?t change the video stream ;) But all Blu Ray?s have normal quality (no grainy background etc.)... So something must went wrong i think.

How does it compare to the original?? The streams are identical, so, if there's a difference then it's likely in your playback software.

Lots of Blu-rays are grainy. That's one of the advantages of Blu-ray: it can reproduce film grain reasonably accurately, so it doesn't have to get filtered out before encoding.

You would have to transcode with something like Handbrake.

This question has nothing to do with beta testing MakeMKV...

(Do a Googlesearch for "Blu-ray"+"film grain")

There are no perfect settings for transcoding.
