HO BOY! CAMERONMAS! And look, they put my picture on the box! https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-tw...11523-0659
well, how about that, I learned a secret trick/hack/loophole for HDR conversion.. DM if you'd like it 


That's what I said to myself when T2 in 4K was announced. What a let down it was when I saw the movie on 4KBD

Never ever judge a video transfer by YouTube. They have some of the worst compression around. I thought it looked eerily similar to the HDTV version I saw on HBO some years ago.

But knowing Cameron's distaste for film grain, this and probably True Lies, will be another DRN mess

I remember people complaining about DNR on the titanic trailer on youtube then saying the DCP looked a lot better. I didn't get the chance to see it myself though

Is the footage in the trailer scrubbed like hell? DNR mess or just Youtube encoding?

Is it significantly different? Do they still fix the order of events so the Chinese dialogue doesn't have to be dubbed?
I can confirm Mann's D.C. of BLACKHAT is still yet a 3rd revison cut, even slightly different than the D.C he showed in 2016 and then later aired in 2017 on FX/DirectTV/TNT.
https://github.com/Asd-g/avslibplacebo#tone-mapping this does a decent job when you are tonemapping using Avisynth frame server
@Falcon in the latest version of Avidemux, use the "HDR Tone mapping" function setting under the "Video" tab at top. You can also set it permanently under Preferences. : https://i.imgur.com/uAW1nw6.jpg

Are you just watching or meaning to color correct the results? I used FFMPEG, others use ripbot264

Handbrake automatically does this quite well. Premiere pro you have to adjust the calibration yourself. But if there are regulars who do it with better tools, I'm interested.

Hi everyone, what is currently the simplest and most effective way to convert HDR to SDR ?
sure y'all know this but the latest version of MPC in Win10 (and 11 no doubt) play Dolby Vision with ease, (I'm doing the Video Renderer, not MadVR) and no tone mapping hack thats really SD over HDR. I confirmed this because the thumbnail when I scroll is still that weird mostly shades of purple+green, but the actual playback itself looks great.

DCPs are a different aspect ratio to home formats, either 1.85, 2.39 or 1.9. The imager chip/panel is 1.9:1

Myspleen suddenly saying my password is wrong? Anyone else having issues? Won't let me change either
3840x2160 > 1920x1080. Prob select "Square pixels". Leave FPS, colors, full/limited colorspace to same/default.
theres guides on videohelp, doom9, etc. But essentially you load in the source into a video editor like virtualdub, tmpgenc, handbreak, Ripbot, Premiere, Vegas, etc. and set the output to 1080p

How do I convert a video's colourspace when converting it from UHD to normal HD?
Super off topic but I managed to score "Daft Punk - Random Access Memories" 10-year anniversary ed., in Dolby Atmos. DM me if you'd like a copy
Looks like Moshrom/Blah-ray is back in action after a long hiatus: https://blah-ray.blogspot.com

Hoping for a return to form for John Woo: https://youtu.be/iCNsLqHr4d0?si=He8KlGPxkjE8F0ZH
^^this is the way. I believe Miami Vice and Battlestar Galactica are like that in 4:3

Just one question please, is it safe to do a BD compat encode in 1440x1080? It's a 4:3 anime

Ive not watched it in this form only both SAC series. I think there was another one that did the same.

GITS The Lauphing Man is just all the episodes from SAC involving that storyline edited together to make a feature.

Ah, it's a SAC movie in the GitS Universe.. The Design of the DVD release from UK just put me off, because it's not Designer as I would expect an anime dvd release would be Designed.

Does anyone know what a "The laughing man" dvd release for ghost in the shell: stand alone complex is about? Is it a special English dub?

This thread on reddit has been looking into OT.com. It seems the best post is by BlueSnaggleTooth359, in a mini conversation here https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/commen...t/jy6821r/
This can do SDR <-> HDR back/forward conversion, realtime preview, edit metadata, MaxCLL, MaxFALL, etc. Free trial w/ all features, limited to 1 minute export max, https://www.acrovid.com/neofootage_ai.htm

Cool. Anyone who wants to hook me up send me PM. I can trade invites for other trackers. Thus concludes my e-begging thanks for reading

You can ask, I'm not going to ban someone for asking that but we don't do ptp invites here
Does anyone know any estimated time of when ptp (passthepopcorn) tracker, will be up again? It's such a great tracker! The best really in my opinion. I hope nothing serious happened and it closed down.

I appreciate what the Tekno3d is doing and wouldn't be against trying his program but those normal prices are a bit steep
Tekno3d's doing a 1-week rental of that SDR>HDR program, $40, if anyone wanted to take the plunge
blu-ray.com goes offline around 1-2am PST every night for maintenance, then comes back

I saw a mentioning of a scheduled maintenance thing yesterday in the form of a black banner, but I immediately purged it from my head regarding deets LOL

One of the assistant editors on Oppenheimer explains that the 70mm 5-perf (2.20) version was used for editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Otk_P68zfM&t
@alleycat eagle eyed fans can notice the nuclear reactor fallout is still showing on the monitors in the Chinese embassy scene at the beginning, lol. I corrected that in my version
