Streaming services, please use constant-quality, variable bit rade encoding for your media. Thank you.

I think Max is pretty good with their encodes but yeesh, Netflix looks like trash. They also heavily de-grain everything shot on film to keep bitrates low so old movies look weirdly smooth and washed over with no fine detail.

I can’t stand the audio mixing on so many movies. The dialogue is always so muddied or so low that I constantly have to adjust it. It’s especially worse with Dolby Atmos

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah that happens because movies are mastered for surround sound. these studios really should create professionally mastered stereo mixes for home releases since most people are gonna be using their TV's built in speakers. but usually they're too cheap to do that, so they just lazily down-mix to stereo and the levels sound like crap

What’s funny is that most physical media often include a 2.0 audio mix. It may be something that has to be selected on Netflix if it is even an option.

For me, I actually have an atmos capable system but I think Atmos is itself not very good and the mixing is extremely inconsistent. I’ve noticed that atmos on Netflix is especially bad even when I compare the same movie on disc

lol it's ironic that the parts of films that are supposed to be visually dazzling are what gets destroyed by compression. RIP to all the VFX artists working tirelessly on their fancy particle effects only for them to get turned to pixelated digital mush
