UHD BD to BD?

@Beber could you compare that Dark Knight shot from the Helicopter with the police cars approaching the burning truck? That one had some tricky intense reds that I couldn't match from the UHD with a LUT, they turned out too orange. I wonder if that's better in the RipBot one. For example the car rear lights and the fire. The UHD has it as an IMAX shot, but you can still overlap them pretty well, it's just a slightly different area of the image.

Here you go. Seems a bit redder on the iTunes, and the yellows are a little more blown on the RipBot conversion and thus look a bit whiter. Also something I noticed on lamps and flames in previous comparisons, the yellows tend to turn whiter.

Ok, so the problem still exists to a degree, but perhaps it's a tad better now. Maybe one could tune the settings further to get there, but it would probably have to be the actual tone mapping settings... hmmm

Thanks!

And this is how it looked when I set saturation at 1.1:

Yeah the saturation is not so much the problem as the highlight compression (at least for strongly saturated areas) that is stronger in iTunes.

Again with The Dark Knight Rises, the bright yellows tend to turn whiter with RipBot264.

I've encoded Batman Begins fully (hue 0, sat 1, bright -2, contr 0.9). This remaster really has ups and downs. It's very inconsistent. It can have some very filmic qualities and, suddenly, it's an overly bright and blown ugly DNR fest. I wonder how the old master, still used for the new Blu-ray included in the UHD pack, would look with the new master colors applied onto it. You know, in a Sporv wizardry kind of way, using the luma from the Blu-ray, the chroma from the new master and maybe some contrast tweaking to make it look more filmic.

Here comes the DNR waxy fest:

Here comes the DNR waxy fest:

Yuck! That much DNR on so recent a film is simply unnecessary.

That looks even worse in motion.

Have to agree with you, Beber, the following settings seem to give the overall best results:

Ripbot 264 (hue 0, sat 1, bright -2, contr 0.9):

The default setting is a little on the bright side (Grease and The Mummy especially). Just re-doing Grease with above settings and it looks lovely, although Die Hard may come out a little on the dark side so may stick with my already done default setting two pass 30mbs on that one. Looking forward to Mission Impossible 1 and seeing how that one comes out.
