@RESET_9999 Is it okay to split and later merge DV mkv files. Does it cause any issues? I don't know, I never tried but if you don't remove any frames I guess it should be fine? Sometimes I have to trim the start of a video and after, I always verify if my first frame still starts with a scene cut.

When trying to grade HDR in DaVinci, the preview looks washed out (I have a 4K HDR monitor). Is there any way to get a proper preview without any specific hardware? If not, what is the most budget friendly option? hey, I know you asked about this a while ago but even though the Resolve manual says ...

@RESET_9999 I was doing some SDR to HDR conversion. When I exported the DV XML file, it has some L2 and L3 trims. Should I keep those or remove? It's up to you. I prefer removing all the trims as they can have an undesired effect (darken or brighten too much). made a couple of test files about that...

Is there a way to disable tone mapping in Movies & TV app or energy player with MSFT HW video decoder, and pass through HDR10 metadata? Or do I have to use MPV for passing through HDR10 and switch to MSFT HW video decoder for tone mapping DV content? no i think the OS HDR always sends incorrect...

no idea

I've had to use a 10x jeweler's loupe to see the first couple steps immediately above black (on a C9 and A95K - I'm not as critical of my C8 or C2 because of how I use them)... are you using a high-end colorimeter to measure certain stimulus levels? seeing steps? I'm not talking about black crush i...

I doubt it. Was raised on my C8, and it's still raised on my C2.
C8 was worse though and the white balance trick didn't work on my end.

I dont know but all LG OLED TVs have raised black in DV, even in TV-LED.
And all the players I tested LLDV had raised black without a 0 min pq edid

as I said, in LLDV player led if your edid min target is not 0, you'll get raised blacks. I replicated on my C2 too, if I use the default c2 edid its raised, if I use a custom edid with min target set to 0 and reboot, then black is black. My C2 is in a room with black velvet on floor ceiling and wal...

Ok I was able to break my Windows black level again and I know what I did to break it. If I launch the energy player into my 2nd monitor (vizio tv edid not 0), then blacks are raised even if I play the same file again on my first monitor (Samsung). If I reboot and launch the energy player into the S...

idk I can't replicate what I did :( ... This morning when I played with the settings and I broke something. Rebooting my PC fixed it. Before rebooting, I could clearly see a difference between the black in the pattern itself and the black border from the energy player window even in the bright room ...

I just tested Yes, you're right. I couldn't see it on my Samsung monitor because it's in a bright room but on the C2 I can see the slightly raised blacks. The problem seem to be the Microsoft HEVC extension because it's a lot worse with HDR10 but if you force ffmpeg for the decoding, it's fine. EDI...

@RESET_9999 I had a 10min HDR clip, and I generated DV in Resolve but forgot to set output blanking at 42/42. While injecting DV, I edited L5 to 42/42. Is the DV correct here or I have to generate the XML from resolve again? well your video min_pq metadata wont be as accurate. It's not really a big...

Hi RESET, I still notice raised black level when using Microsoft Hardware Video Decoder in the Energy player. I've tried both on Oled G8 monitor and S95C TV. Does this happen to your samsung monitor? I began to worry there's something wrong with my settings. Currently, I set output to 10bit Full Ra...

Does the effect ever phase out on higher nits TV?

I guess and it depends on how strong the L2 trim is and a 4000nits RPU probably has a bigger effect. I only tested 1000nits RPU and in TV-LED on C2 810nits, Vizio 600nits and Samsung 400nits. I'll check with higher edid in LLDV this weekend.
