UHD BD to BD?

[Beber]

Here's some Gladiator:

MadVR / RipBot264

[X5gb]

Again, skintones much more natural on the ripbot, liking this tool more and more. Like zoidberg said, glad you've got the room for all these uhd's. How about some Saving Private Ryan against both madvr and bluray. Still got 13 hrs left on my Grease, 2 pass, very slow, 30mbit average encode (56% into 2nd pass). Got to get a faster pc at some point. Next, I'll do Die Hard and then the first two The Mummy movies (Marban's were based on the EU versions without the burnt in subs).

I can do some Saving Private Ryan and even Braveheart. But for now, here's some Batman Begins:

MadVR / RipBot264 / New Blu-ray





























I'm disappointed with this remaster. Sometimes it looks very good and very filmlike, and on many occasions it looks weird, overexposed, overly bright and even brighter using RipBot264.

Does RipBot264 process the Dolby Vision layer when making the conversion?

I have no idea. I made these conversions out of *.mkv remuxes ditching the Dolby Vision layer as I was not sure I could have both video streams into the *.mkv. I only kept the 3840x2160 video stream.

^ People are purposely keeping the Dolby Vision layer. I'm watching an MKV remux of Gladiator with the layer right now.

EDIT: Of course, the layer's not being used, but it's not lost. And keeping it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on the MKV.

Rather unfortunate it's not being used given the 12 bit color depth gained from the DV layer. Plus, DV contained an embedded SDR grade... would make SDR conversion rather easy.|

Beber: I need screen caps that are taken without any HDR->SDR processing. You'll want MadVR to send the HDR data to the display and perform no processing, and in the Rendering/Screenshots tab, you'll want to set zoom factor = encoded video size, and check all the boxes below (telling it not to do processing).

I don't think DV can mux with an mkv only HDR.

It will mux. AFAIK, no playback software can use it at present though. People are keeping it in the hope that it can be used in future.

EDIT: This might prove to be a forlorn hope though.

That would be nice.

Pretty sure your not able to do that yet with mkv, it shows up as 1920 x 1080. Plus all the mkvs i've seen that have DV on the BD never have DV muxed with it. Unless MKV was updated recently and it now supports it but i don't think it does. If i'm wrong then great.
