UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Crow -- in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

But you know where I would like to see AI used? For better compression.

Yes…agreed. Great idea. I can see the benefits of video codecs in the future utilizing AI tools.

 

[Wes Candela]

What I see is an outstanding 4K transfer with no DNR and excellent encoding. This is what it takes to get a truly stellar disc like this one. This is how good catalog titles can look on the format when done with the utmost care.

 

[Wes Candela]

AI tools are quite real, not a conspiracy theory,

AI tools are very real.

AI tools where people will have no clue that it was even done.

Very true.

And you're right that there's no DNR, but that's because AI degraining and enhancement tools aren't DNR.

I would still call it digital noise reduction, Maybe to be more to the point… Call it “AI-DNR

I'll also guarantee you that there are titles out there where the grain has been stripped out as part of the mastering process, with fake grain added back at the end, and most people are going to be none the wiser.

Very possible.

I just watched this film from the UHD.
It surprised me that there was almost NO surround activity in my speakers.
I don't think I had any fault in my set-up, because I don't have any problem with other films.
Has anyone else experienced this with this 4k release?
The subwoofer activity was intense though..
