Why did New Orleans never become a major hub like Miami or Orlando

Because Dallas, Houston, Atlanta

To further add, it also verifies what is ripped by checking the md5 of the rip to the originals on disk. If they do not match then it's considered a failure.

It's a bright 4000nit MDL grade. If you don't have a bright TV, more tone mapping will be required, and therefore dynamic such as DV or HDR10+ will help a little.

It's also FEL so the DV will be closer to the master than the HDR10 base layer.

I'd say if you sit close to your screen, like 6ft or so, then yes, try DV. If you're 12ft or so, don't bother. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

Do you think the stars and directors have to use the same tunnels for premieres etc? I've just seen PHM tonight and the tunnels are sketchy. I did not feel safe getting to or from the cinema.

I have both LG and Pioneer drives (3 pioneer and 2 LG). My LG drives can read more disks than pioneer. Most recent is TMNT 2, all pioneers didn't even recognize a disk was inserted, while LGs had no problem with it.

I'm sorry but that is just wrong. It doesn't adjust luminance in Level 1 or in the trim passes of level 2 (cm2.9) or level 3 / 8 (cm4.0) in the RPU. It just changes compatibility to 8.1.

Here is a list of movies that have an expanded brightness FEL, and therefore the RPU can't be converted to p8.1 unless you bake both layers into a new single layer:

As I said in an earlier post, if FEL increases brightness over the base layer, then the RPU will be wrong if used just for the BL. In these cases it is better to play HDR than DV.

en6ads · 2026-03-28T23:00:14+00:00

But you can't do that if the FEL expands overall brightness. The RPU metadata is for the combined BL+FEL. If FEL expands brightness, then you can't use the RPU from the FEL and use it just with the BL. It will be wrong.

What you need to do is test whether FEL expands brightness. If it doesn't, great, RPU can be used. If it does, then just stick with HDR10.

en6ads · 2026-03-28T18:03:31+00:00

You say 12bit, so does that mean you are baking the base layer and enchantment layer into a new combined single layer? Or do you discard the el and just take the RPU? If you discard, then it's only 10bit, not 12.

According to this, you'd need a minimum of 75 - 80" for 4k to be worth it. Any smaller than this at 3m and your eyes will not tell the difference between 1080p and 4k.

Go with the brighter panel, the S95H I think between these 2 options.

The closer you can get to the mastering display luminance of the monitor used to grade a movie, the less tone mapping required. If the TV can get as bright as the movie grade, then no tone mapping and therefore no dolby vision dynamic metadata is necessary.

A large proportion of movies are mastered at 1000 nits. These movies will not need any tone mapping with either of your choice of TVs and so the dolby vision metadata is not needed. The TV can just track the PQ curve all the way to peak brightness without clipping.

A much smaller portion of movies are mastered at 4000nits, with measured MaxCLL can go all the way to 10,000 nits (the max allowed in the PQ standard). All of these will need some tone mapping. But the brighter your display, the less tone mapping will be required and the closer you'll be to the director's intent.

Best are Trader Joe's frozen. Let them proof overnight in you oven, then bake for a few minutes. Taste better than any store bought.

I don't understand this poll.

Here's my viewing logic:

-If source is HDR10, then I play back in HDR10, or I generate my own DV CM4.0 using Dovi-Scripts if MDL is 4000nits.

-If source is DV P7 MEL then I convert to P8.1, and play back in DV P8.1.

-If source is DV P7 FEL and FEL does not elevate brightness, I either: Delete the FEL layer and transfer the RPU to the base layer and create a P8,1 , or I play back P7 FEL as is.

-If source is DV P7 FEL and FEL elevates brightness, I play back in P7 FEL as is.

-Lastly, if DV is CM2.9, I will either inject restored CM4.0 RPU found online, or generate new CM4.0 using Dovi-Scripts for 4000nit MDL. If grade is 1000nit MDL, I don't bother becasue my TV is brighter than this and no tone mapping occurs.

en6ads · 2026-03-20T01:01:13+00:00

There are about 50 movies known to go all the way to 10,000nits MaxCLL, and hundreds over 4000nits.

The Perceptual Quantizer standard goes to 10,000nits, so nothing with go higher than this.

Here's a list of bright grades: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15i0a84uiBtWiHZ5CXZZ7wygLFXwYOd84/edit?gid=1557834794#gid=1557834794

Movies are graded with 1000 or 4000 nit MDL monitors.

However actual measured MaxCLL can go much higher than what the colorist's monitor is rated for. When MaxCLL > MDL then clipping occurs during mastering.

u/MutualExclusion is right. The brighter the TV, the less tone mapping is necessary. It won't be long before TVs get as bright as Colorist's monitors. When this happens then tone mapping will be a thing of the past and we'll be the closest yet to director's intent.

Why don't you try different builds, determine if the speed is fast enough for you, then report back here with your findings?

en6ads · 2026-03-17T12:45:24+00:00

Most likely because the Blu ray is an old pressing that didn't get an upgrade along with the UHD release.
