What are you using to rip the 4K HDR stream? I have a feeling that might partially be to blame. I don’t have capabilities currently to rip 4K BD. I would imagine if there was an option to not rip the HDR version, but just 4K, or if there was a LUT to control the blacks/contrast that you could ingest.
I couldn’t convert it from disk either. Someone did it for me. As much as I love the idea of redoing all my edits in 4k I think I’m gonna have to stick to standard Blu-Ray on this one 😦
That’s what I did. 1080p is good enough for me.
I did all my others in 720p stereo and was happy with that a few years back. I just don’t wanna put a year’s work into this edit and wish I did 4k in the future. I’m super happy I’ve mastered 5.1 surround editing now though 😄
