[Released] Harry Potter saga - open matte
Sporv, something you should look into is MPEG2 encoding for your BD-50's. In my experience, MPEG2 retains grain better than x264 at high bitrates. Plus your encode times will be cut to 3 hours or less per film. HCenc has an awesome gui and provides amazing results in 2-pass.

MPEG-2 has no deblocking like h264, which I imagine is one reason why it does sometimes appear sharper. Lowering the deblock value for x264 might go some way to approach that look, if desired.

How are we supposed to apply the fixes?

@nightstalkerpoet: I've done various comparison tests between AVC and MPEG-2 (even MPEG-1!) but, even if MPEG-2 is very good at high bitrate, it would be always a bit worst than AVC, so I don't see the point to encode in MPEG-2 - even thinking that x264 is maybe (surely?) the best encoder so far.

@FrankT: the frames are numbered, so you can replace only those ones, using any video editing software (the most advanced would only re-encode the replaced frames and surrounding ones); HP4 clip is just starting at frame 0. I'm aware not anyone would be able to do that, but them could avoit to redownload hundred GBs. For the others, I'd say to wait for the remastered versions!

You know of any that can do this? I think TMPGEnc advertises this feature, but I haven't bought it yet to test.

Dammit! Glitches... That set came at a nice time of freeleech. Sadly, the eventual remastered probably won't. Bummer...

i still think the biggest glitch in all of them is the one from the studio itself, at the end of philosophers stone when Dumbledore repeats himself, it's definitely a loop

Yep, damn glitches... they passed unnoticed, probably during the blink of the eyes - go figure I've spotted more than fifty in a film and a hundred in another!!!

The HP4 stuttering passed unnoticed because I've watched the lossless file, and it was (is) there, so maybe something has gone wrong during the lossy encoding; HP8 glitch is in the master itself - found in all and any versions, including BD, but it's quite small and could pass unnoticed.

I ask for your help here; please, if you notice any other glitch/problem/whatever, please post here!

List of glitches so far:

HP2 - frame 78836 0h54m48s + frame 79738 0h55m25s
HP4 - first dozen second stuttering
HP5 - frame 46180 0h32m06s
HP8 - frames 36315-9 0h25m14s

Which ones will write directly to the file?

May you point to both, with timecode or frame numbers? Thanks!

Wrote them in the previous post.
