I received the Italian JW1 disc today
subs for the Italian BD JW1:

thanks for the link. The JW1 subs are extremely dark. I tried to fix that using the 9-5 workflow with the .bat file changed to set the brightness adjustment to 150%, but it didn't help. Any other method for fxing that?

I don't know, convert to SRT.

Can you expand on selecting MDL based on content actual brightness? I guess there is a workflow for identifying the content brightness, and based on that I pick from one of the fixed 1000/2000/4000 options?
I measure brightness with 6-2 and select MDL accordingly.

Ok so we need to use P5 webdl to transfer DV to HDR10 bluray.

If the bluray already has DV and we just want to transfer cmv4.0 bloc to bluray, can we use P8 webdl or do we have to use P5 as well? Quite hard to find P5 webdl online.

what matters is the metadata only. hdr10 brightness doesn't matter

In case I can't find the P5 webdl online to do the DV tranfer to HDR10 bluray, can I use the .bin files in your RPU folder? I just checked one and they were P8, not P5?

yes, my RPUs are P8 synced and ready to be injected.

Using 6-2 on my copy of Batman Begins, I get %frames with MaxCLL > 1000 = 12.78 and >2000 = 0. So do I set the MDL to 2000, as that's the lowest level of the available options that includes the maximum brightness?

thanks, and given that 6-2 creates measurements, can they be reused to speed up 3-1?

yes rename the 6-2 generated RPU the same as your mkv input and run 3-1

Many thanks. What's the consequence of selecting the MDL as 2000 vs 4000 nits in 3-1 for something like Batman Begins? Would 4000 make the image render on my TV as slightly darker?

that would explain why my conversion of Thor looks a touch dark, according to MediaInfo the MDL is 4000. For some titles MediaInfo reports values of MaxCLL but based on a first check, with Batman Begins, the value is nowhere near correct. So presumably should ignore MediaInfo fir this key parameter?

When creating hybrids, what is the recommendation with respect to editing L6 or not?

I primarily watch my hybrids in Dolby Vision, but in some cases I am limited to HDR10. What should I so, update L6 or not?

Thanks!
