Dolby Vision, FEL/MEL Discuss

General

all this talk about FEL and why it has so much importance, I would like the community’s opinion on this

Equipment that decodes AV1 is relevant. This open codec has amazing compression quality without losing image quality. 4K video of a standard movie is only 5 GB in size - and this is currently the top. That’s why I prefer Intel equipment with AV1 encoding/decoding support. This is Alder Lake and ARC video chips - they are the future. 100 Gigabyte Dolby Vision awaits the fate of 3D video. Who needs 3D TVs and 3D media players now?

This is a screenshot of the movie in 4K, its weight is 4.5 GB

Seems relevant to discuss AV1 vs DB FEL, is their truth to this claim, will AV1 win over, if so when will that happen.

how does this 4.5GB 4k file compare, should we think about getting AV1 supported device for the next 6 years of owning a new box or think about DV FEL, or buy both.

this community is very knowledgeable so I’m interested in everyone’s thought’s

AFAIK, AV1 currenltly only supports HDR10. IMO, until it supports the equivalent of FEL, it’s usefulness is limited. I don’t know if the specs can support the equivalent, but there are certainly no tools to do anything but encode the HDR10 information. I will become interested when it can encode a DV/HDR10+ Bluray.

It also needs more TV/client support.

Whoever it is I don’t think they are proving their point with that screenshot at all lol.

It’s like James Cameron had his way with Interstellar.

yeah, how someone can draw a conclusion based on a screenshot is beyond me, also useless post from OP, people buy what they need now not for years to come, you can die tomorrow.
