Interesting project you got going, though if I had to make a suggestion, if you’re converting the 4K footage from SDR back to SDR, why not just use the regular 2D Blu-ray footage which can save you the trouble?
Also, I’m curious as to which sources you’re using for this project in order to see how close to accuracy that can be achieved here.
Hi, the UHD version have better compression and more detail than the BD 2D version. The colors are also better.
For make an “ultimate” version, this is the best version to use despite the flaws that UHD has.
I would combine UHD with Blu-Ray 3D scenes which have more visible image.
And I have a 35mm scan project that will allow me to share (for donors) a 35mm grindhouse version, but also to recover 2 scenes that have been modified on BD/UHD/3D and integrate them into my custom UHD project .
The modified UHD version is intended to be shared with everyone, but if people participate in the 35mm project, the modified UHD version will move faster too 😃
