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.

Sure, if you say so. But that's already in the script department, so no thanks, that's not for me to play with.

I did encode The Dark Knight, twice. Once with a saturation at 1.1, which I thought was a notch too much, especially in the very orange restaurant scene with the ballet dancer. Once with a saturation at just 1. No freezing issue, both times. I will launch MIB 2 tonight.

Thank's for the confirmation Beber, hopefully my two end up finishing ok. All that Avisynth script stuff is a little over my head as well although I get the general idea, took me a while to master what I know about Premiere and tweaks etc, but the ini's for the program are pretty easy to mess with. As there are a few Die Hard encodes done or getting done, think once these are finished will move on to The Mummy' and Mummy Returns using my US UHD's as source unlike Marban's which were based on the Euro discs.

The hue is not to be blamed here, Tom. Here it is with hue untouched at just 0 (hue 0, sat 1.3, bright 1, contr 1.0). Still a pink shirt.

No, it's not. You are obviously pretty methodical in your approach and have a fairly good eye for video. Most of what people use AviSynth for involves putting together bits and pieces of code from various places and then making minor alterations that are little different from making tweaks in a GUI; the only difference is that you type them. If you played around for a while, you'd find that most of it's rather simple.

Yeah, maybe in theory, but I would need a French guy to teach me step by step. I wouldn't go in tech territory in a foreign language.

Ah fair enough! Still, I don't think it's a great idea to be messing with Hue for color correction. But maybe that's just me being nitpicky.

It appears to look better for MIB 2, at least. It gives better skintones for both black and white guys. They look too red otherwise.

^^^ Your English is pretty good, and most things in AviSynth are clearly labeled or easily google-translated. Just start with little things and go from there.

Tweak() can be used for basic work. It's possible to manipulate parts of the hue/saturation range and leave the rest of the chroma intact. We used to do this quite a bit in the GOUT/LD days on ot.com.

Yeah, tweak is comparable the Hue/Saturation/Intensity filter in VirtualDub. Really powerful, but simple. If the goal is to go from HDR to SDR though, messing with those to any real degree seems like you are losing what you are trying to gain (i.e, the colors and quality of the new transfer without the HDR baggage).

I have to ask though, why is the Netflix version of Die Hard considered reference? I have no evidence, but it looks really wrong to me, like someone was just being creative with the color timing.
