About Strato V, Dolby Vision, and FEL

Okay, just confirming that Last Jedi is not affected by the issue I discussed earlier in this thread, and that we're tracking the update progress of in the other thread. I will post an update here when I find out what the status is of the investigation on that title.

The issue with desaturated colors some of us reported has only ever been present in the Dolby Vision encode of some movies. I’m about to watch Sonic 3 and downloaded the HDR10 version because I can’t trust the DV version as I saw in some Paramount titles.

Okay, an update that I hope will be considered good news.

It turns out that Last Jedi is in fact affected by this issue. However, the criteria we were using to identify the affected titles that needed updating didn’t catch this one and one other movie, basically because of a subtle difference in the assets that made them not match the "signature" we were looking for.

So, it's now in queue and will be updated to fix the issue.

I’d be freaking out if I realized I had to re-encode most DV movies all over again lol. Btw I sent them an example and some scenes on the Equalizer 2 DV brightness fluctuations. Unfortunately I don’t have those movies on disc to compare.

I just got an email about some movies that were updated including "The Equalizer 2". I wonder if this update corrected those brightness fluctuations?
 
I'm guessing that the vast majority of Kaleidescape owner also have projectors that don't support Dolby Vision. The John Wick Dolby Vision version has a video issue where the video will jump slightly every so often. I will have to start downloading both the DV and HDR10 version of every title that is available in DV so that I can quickly go to the other version. My first statement is made because I don't see a lot of other owners posting these video issue on Dolby Vision versions of so many titles. I'm guessing that no one else has noticed this.

Here are few timestamps where I noticed the issue:

4:16 - pulling car out

12:40 - driving car

16:20 - driving car toward building

19:30 - walking away

I will send ticket to support. They also asked me to connect Strato V directly to TV and test. I found the issue when connected directly to Hisense UX model TV as well. I have the Strato V connected to Denon AVR X6700H and then to TV.
 
Life for non DV projectors owners would be so much easier if we could set the default download version to HDR10 version. I have no need for DV versions of movies.

Not a bad idea to have that option available, but in the meantime it's only an extra 5 seconds to get the same result by selecting which resolutions we want to download during the purchase.

Howdy folks! I'll add these to the update thread in a moment, but because I know there will be substantial interest, also letting you know here that we just posted two updates:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Amazing, thank you! I am going to do a re-watch of The Last Jedi this weekend!

@MikeKobb was Blade Runner 2049 also impacted per chance? I noticed a lot of wash outs for a second here and there.

That's not on the list of affected titles. If you can point to a few time indexes, the content team can take a look. I assume this is the Dolby Vision version.
 
I'd have to re-download it etc, but it was generally reproducible in the opening scenes when Gosling is walking around the tree. I didn't watch past that since it happened a few times, deleted it and installed the HDR10 version, and then deleted that because wife didn't want to watch it and had to make space! haha

I have no idea what I just read, but I'm glad there are people in the world who understand this stuff. There are things that can't be dumbed down enough for me to understand and we just found another one. However, thank you for your contribution to the subject as I'm sure many on here will find it extremely valuable!

Which one yields "better" picture for a non-DV projector?

1. Strato V LLDV-> Lumagen LLDV -> PJ
2. Strao V HDR10 -> Lumagen -> PJ

Honest I wouldn’t buy the v to use with a HDR projector , maybe UST ones . I’d stick with a strato s or c and a Terra.

Thread 'HD content conversion updates'

Hello everyone,

There has been a great deal of discussion on the forum about the HD content conversion process to make our titles compatible with Strato V. Based on feedback (both internal and here on the forum) we have recently made changes to the information presented on the Strato V Compatibility report (hopefully for the better). There has also been a great deal of discussion about the pace and timing of the conversion process.

We're going to use this thread to post weekly updates that will list the titles that have gone through the conversion process and are now available on the...

No that’s the HD conversions for V thread. I’m asking about Dolby Vision conversions and there were no updates on the DV thread last week. I’m asking here since the thread with the updates is purely about the titles and not for others to post.
