What in the actual fuck is going on? These encoders are smart people obviously, but the decision to only release HYBRID files rather than also releasing the P5 sources are absolutely fucking insane. These encoders have been around for years and all of a sudden they’re all doing this. Like what the actual fuck is happening out there? I feel like I only started seeing this bullshit happening right after Rarbg went down.
Many encoders just slap the hdr10/+ and the P5 streams together, not realizing or not caring that they are graded differently. This is sloppy work and it’s bullshit. If you wanna make a p8 hybrid that’s fine…IF you also release the P5 master. I see hdr10 only versions but not the P5 only versions. It’s infuriating.
The potential for incorrect brightness/grading on the end result. If both hdr10 and p5 streams are graded the same then you’re good. If not, the end result will have messed up brightness. Even some people on the makemkv forums don’t like them lol.
