Like zoidberg, I prefer to make BD-compatible encodings so I can give discs to friends. You know this though. ☺

And to be honest, I still like to burn physical copies...

Pesky compatibility eh? Come on, guys, let's be mavericks! Let's use the pinnacle of technology to preserve the best possible image for our projects!

Okay okay, I will be quiet...

Btw, I don't think it's a good idea to play around with the Hue for color grading. The main value I see in it is to correct NTSC captures ... remember "NTSC = never the same color"? Using it for color grading something that doesn't technically need such corrections will improve one color, but shift all other colors in unpredictable ways as well. Look at the blue hue of the suit that turns violet/magenta with your modification. Though of course you didn't post an unaltered sample, but just saying that I think such color grading stuff is better off done with tools/plugins that are better suited. Too bad there's not yet an AVISynth 3D LUT filter; it would be rather easy to implement I imagine.

Which suit? I don't see what you're talking about.

First comparison, the guy in the suit has a white shirt underneath the suit with a blue tint in the Netflix. It's rather magenta in your version.

If you're talking about Ellis, I wouldn't say he's wearing a white shirt in the 1st comparison. Even Takagi's is not totally white on the Netflix under that light. The Netflix is not my starting point, it's the ballpark I'm aiming at, anyway. And since I don't do color correction, I can just "tweak" with what's available to me.

Yeah that's what I meant, it's blue-ish in the Netflix, perhaps with a hint of magenta.

Oh I see. I for some reason thought you were using AVISynth, must have confused that with the other posts. Because then you could use something like Levels. Does RipBot have no other options but these? Can it be extended perhaps by editing some inis? Hell, if it is based on an AVISynth script, maybe you could directly edit that one even, who knows. Just thinking aloud.

Oh, boy! Avisynth? Like using scripts and whatnot? That's way over my league! "Inis"? Dude, you might as well speak Korean, that would be the same to me. I'm just the average Joe "tweaking" with basic settings implemented in RipBot. Beyond that, someone else will have to come into play.

Heh, alright got it.

When TomArrow is talking about ini's, I think he's talking about the setting scripts in the program's directory location. That is where I found the setting for sharpening which the program sets at 0.2.
Am I correct, Tom. Has anyone here encoded a whole film yet with ripbot, my two still have nearly 40 hrs to go. If so did anyone get the freezing image problem at some point during the encode I kept getting with Greaee which I am now trying on another machine.

Yep, that was my thought. Note that I don't personally have the tool yet, so I'm just going off what I read in here so far.
