Just wanted to say, I fully endorse this project! MPC gui with MPV engine. "Legit A F" is an understatement.
Just wanted to say that, if you enable "deband" for HDR footage, it actually makes the banding significantly worse.
If you're using Windows 10 and you do a search for "HDRSample.mkv" - This is a good example of the deband filter making the banding worse.
"C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.SettingsAppThreshold\SystemSettings\Assets\HDRSample.mkv"
Options > Playback > Output > Color Correction: Use these settings:
Gamma (Check) Auto Detect (1.0)
Target Prim (Auto)
Target TRC (Auto)
HDR Tone mapping (Hable)
HDR Desat (2.0)
ICC Profile (Auto Detect)
Options > Playback > Output > Deband: Use these settings:
Iterations: (1)
Threshold (64)
Range (16)
Grain (48)
Options > Playback > Output > Scaling: Use these settings:
Correct Downscaling (Check)
Scale Scaler (Lanczos)
Downscale Scaler (Lanczos)
Color Scaler (Bilinnear)
Temporal Scaler (Oversample)
Hopefully this is resolved so that I do not have to disable the deband filter when viewing HDR videos, and re-enable it for SDR videos. You can see how that would become highly annoying!
