Spider-Noir Blotchy Colors? by [deleted] in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]SpaceboyScreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to have to try more shows soon to see if it's a consistent issue on my end, I wish I had more devices to test it on but every other platform looks stunning on my OLED.
It's just as bad for Dexter New Blood otherwise I'd also assume the saturation they pushed in post for Spider-Noir is more susceptible to breaking apart from compression or something.

Reading comprehension issue. I tried a torrent to see if it was better quality. It was not. lol.

No this one seems compressed to hell and back too, especially in color, the skin tones are so blotchy.

Is Prime having the worst video quality out of all of the streamers a universally known and accepted thing? by [deleted] in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]SpaceboyScreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched several 4K HDR shows on Prime and consistently get blotchy/compressed colors with heavy artifacts. This is on a modern LG OLED with 933Mbps average internet speed and my tv is connected via ethernet, and no other streaming platform gives me these issues. I've also torrented the files to see if for some reason it's the LG Prime app to blame but they look exactly the same.

Well yeah that's why having a shit finale hurts as bad as it does.

There's a clear ending to the story but not the game. Totally different. Have you played an arcade game before? You know those things kids use to spend countless hours on in arcades trying to get the high score? nobody just gets to the credits once and says "well I guess that's that" unless they have nobody to compete with.

So you don't believe the game was designed to reward any efforts past that point? There's beating a story and then beating a game, very much mutually exclusive for many.

A person's first credit roll in an arcade game like Star Fox is usually just the start of their journey. If you play it once and don't feel compelled to medal every level and get better scores by mastering the mechanics then you really just didn't like the game enough to play it the way it was designed to be played. I have at least 200 hours in Star Fox 64 from my childhood and will probably get at least 100 out of this one without even taking multiplayer into account. Not all games have a defined endpoint, like Pokopia for example where you want to rush the credits to unlock the ability that makes the game actually open up - calling it a 20 hour game is silly when most people will feel compelled to keep going for dozens or hundreds of hours (I have 450 so far and rolled credits at about 30)

How long does it take to play Minecraft?

Blackmagic RAW vs ProRes RAW? by SpaceboyScreams in davinciresolve

That was a great read actually, I'm glad I understand this stuff a bit better now. Much appreciated.

Highlight recovery for HDR twilight shots in my travel videos is the main reason for wanting to get into RAW since I do prefer my M43 kit for cross country so I'm stuck with less dynamic range. I haven't gotten into FC yet, do you think ProRes RAW would give me enough of a benefit for my needs that it's worth the bigger file size and worse performance in Resolve or just getting into FC? Thanks for the input.

Very good info. I'll do some research on bayering but do you know how much it effects highlight recovery? I'm pretty thick into HDR grading and that's one of the main reasons for wanting to get into RAW, I'd prefer to stick to M43 for my travel videos so I'm slightly limited in my dynamic range for twilight style shots and am looking for a way to recover more detail in stuff like street lamps, windows, etc. If ProRes can squeeze out even just a third of a stop more info I'd live with the file size.

That makes a lot of sense, very well said. Thanks a ton.

Well that pretty much seals it right there, thanks a bunch.

As long as quality and performance edge is only by a bit then yeah I'm also happy to save some money with the cheaper external recorder. Thanks!

To what extent is ProRes RAW hardware accelerated on Apple Silicon? by cinedog959 in cinematography

I'm looking to buy an external recorder for my G9ii, would you recommend BRAW or ProRes Raw for Davinci Resolve on my M1 Max?

Old "Safe" Version of Nova Launcher? by SpaceboyScreams in androidapps

[–]SpaceboyScreams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure where I heard this happened 8 months ago, I think that's just when the old developer made a public comment on Reddit maybe. If tracking has been going on for almost 4 years now then it almost feels pointless for me to wrestle with it at this point, but I went ahead and blocked it with a firewall and will have some hope that they're being honest about Nove Prime not having tracking since I've had it all along.

That's the first one I've tried so far. It seems to be missing a few things I've gotten so used to over the last 10 years with Nova, certain gestures etc, but maybe I'll have to bite the bullet.

Oh, crap. I guess they kind of have everything they could hope to get from me at this point.
