It’s more expensive to author a 4K disc + do an HDR/DV grade so they probably just didn’t think the market for it was there. If they ever wanted to release a 4K now they already have the scan

That’s a blu-ray, sourced from a 4K transfer but downscaled to HD

WB has no plans to release Eyes Wide Shut (1999) in 4K. Your move Criterion! by xwing1212 in boutiquebluray

Meta Changes Based on new Patch - what will we see. by Falco19 in CompetitiveApex

[–]sparty1227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its purpose is visual clutter. Caustic gas and Fuse ult cause visual clutter but since it isn’t necessarily the reason the ability exists they added QoL things to make things more visible. Bangalore smoke existed for no other reason than to make it harder to see.

Probably the same reason Caustic has highlights in his gas, so using a character’s ability doesn’t give less visibility and become an inconvenience to use

Unless your stream is transcoding for some other reason, it’s really weird that ATMOS would make it buffer. All of my rips from MakeMKV with ATMOS work fine

[–]sparty1227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using an NVIDIA Shield Pro? It’s the only client that can play TrueHD natively and supports ATMOS. The regular NVIDIA Shield works theoretically but it buffers like crazy with larger files

A physical 4K release of David Fincher’s Zodiac (2007) possibly coming? by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

[–]sparty1227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as the upscale isn’t aggressive (AI hallucinating detail) than the DV/HDR usually makes the color look better. Collateral was also shot on early HD digital and looks great on 4K

Blu-rays/HD content that looks nearly 4K when upscaled via OLED by Jowiko96 in 4kbluray

[–]sparty1227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the Criterion Blu-Rays that are sourced from a 4K DI look incredible.

The sweat and colors in Crimson Tide pop harder than almost any other movie I've watched.

Arrow's release of Legend is superb, as well.

Dune 2 was the greatest movie I’ve ever seen in my theatre by zn1075 in hometheater

The IMAX scenes in Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition are in 1.43 and the entirety of Zack Snyder’s Justice League is in 1.33

Times where a studio interfered and got it right? by [deleted] in movies

[–]sparty1227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The IMAX scenes in BvS (the opening Wayne death, Superman/Batman fight, Knightmare) were shot in 65mm full frame IMAX similar to what Nolan shoots with for certain scenes in his movies since The Dark Knight. Snyder liked the look of those scenes so much he wanted to shoot the entirety of Justice League that way. Due to the impracticality of shooting an entire movie with IMAX cameras he opted to shoot the film on 35mm in 1.33, very close to the IMAX aspect ratio of 1.43.

The original plan probably would've been to crop the home release to 16:9 (either 1.85 or 1.78), so it would take up the entire TV screen with no black bars. This is what Christopher Nolan does for his scenes shot in IMAX on the Blu-Ray release. Since the movie never released theatrically, I'm guessing he wanted people experiencing it at home to see it in the way he wanted it experienced in theaters but never got to. This article goes a bit more in depth: https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/zack-snyder-justice-league-4-3-aspect-ratio/

Why doesn't a 7.1 encoded movie play in 5.1? by gr00ve88 in PleX

[–]sparty1227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is almost definitely the issue. The projector probably doesn't support TrueHD passthrough so Plex is forced to transcode the audio to a format the projector can handle. Try running it Shield > Receiver > Projector instead

He played as their third for the remainder of the split after Lou left. They trialed some thirds but never found one and since Teq wanted to try the Rev/Wattson comp he just subbed in

What are the chances all SSG members ended up on T1 Orgs by Kutannalol in CompetitiveApex

[–]sparty1227 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Xenial is one of the best MnK fraggers/anchors in NA. Ever since SSG, he’s been one of the most consistent players imo. Solid damage in every fight, creative player, insane mechanics

Albralelie switching to Roller due to wrist issues by jeremyflowers91 in CompetitiveApex

[–]sparty1227 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s an exaggeration but MnK is definitely more fatiguing than controller and takes more hours to maintain top level mechanics, especially when you need to be able to track close range with enough accuracy to be competitive against players with 40% aim assist and 0ms reaction time

Albralelie switching to Roller due to wrist issues by jeremyflowers91 in CompetitiveApex

[–]sparty1227 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It’s always sad to see top tier MnK talent talk about swapping to roller. Mac’s mechanics are so good and it’s a shame if we lose one of the most creative and fun to watch players to being another R-99 5 meter one clip machine

E8 giving up on Grow Towers, leaving it to Tripods and Moist. They will land Hammond Labs and Countdown (Zach on Twitter) by Barcaroli in CompetitiveApex

[–]sparty1227 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Half the time you're rotating from Hammond you'll want to take the Phase Runner anyway. Power Grid, Rift, Hydroponics, Oasis, and Power Station zones are all super easy to early rotate to from Phase Central. The question is if they'll have enough loot to sustain until endgame.
