Significant color change when encoding 4K material

Post by OstinatoFreak »

When I encode a 4K movie using h.265 and NLMeans (Handbrake 1.3.1, Windows 10), it absolutely <i>destroys</i> the color of the movie. The color is not even close. Is this me, or is it Handbrake?

Top pic is before encoding, bottom is after encoding. BOTH are screenshots taken from VLC, so it doesn't seem that the player would be at fault. Below are 4K screenshots.

BTW I tried enclosing this in the img tags but it appears this Handbrake forum's software can't handle the image's dimensions. "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct." This seems like something that really ought to be updated by now considering 4K resolution has been around for a long time... many people have 4K computer monitors.

As a side note, I'm also curious why the resulting encode loses so much detail. The resulting file is like 11GB, and yet most of my Blu-Ray encodes that are 2-4GB (some of which also use NLMeans) look better. I used "strong" NLMeans to get rid of pointless dancing pixels.

Handbrake does not handle HDR or DolbyVision content.

HandBrake 1.2.2 (2019022300)
And that, kids, is why logs are required.

Oops, I actually meant to say 1.2.2 above. Mduell - does 1.3.1 handle HDR/DolbyVision content?

Also, if Handbrake can't handle this video, is there any alternative out there that does? Or is my only option to simply keep the 55GB original? (Would prefer not to do that... I don't feel like hard drives are so cheap yet that it's worth devoting 50-80GB to preserve any single 4K movie in its original form.)

The answer is mostly no, but there are different degrees of support. Try the current release with nlmeans off and see if it does any better. Basic troubleshooting steps.

Unfortunately nlmeans being on or off doesn't help the color.

This is hugely disappointing. I've never been one to save original rips of discs because of how much space it takes up, but unless someone tells me there is a reasonable alternative out there that preserves colors of movies, I'm going to take the plunge and just stop using Handbrake altogether, teach myself how to do RAID... Failing to render color correction into the final output is a debilitating limitation that in my opinion makes Handbrake worthless for 4K encoding. The last three 4K discs in a row that I've ripped have drastic color correction going in the original, but after it's encoded, it looks like you're watching the movie through sunglasses... not anywhere near tolerable. I'd rather watch 480p.

HB supports 4K just fine, but lacks full support for HDR/Dolby Vision. You can donate your skills to add support, or pursue something else.

Are there any free encoders that support true HDR/Dolby Vision encoding?
