Encoded the movie The Iron Giant into high quality MKV h.264 format with English, French, Spanish (CA+LA) and Director Commentary audio, along with English, French, and Spanish (CA+LA) Subtitles as well.


This Blu-Ray was overly dark to the point it was ridiculous. I didn't notice anything being crushed, but a lot of stuff was so dark that it might as well be considered borderline crush. There was so much stuff not visible from being so dark, that should have been more visible.

I adjusted the levels to a much better, and fair level in my opinion. This is brighter than the Blu-Ray source, and not nearly as overly bright and desaturated as the DVD was. So if you were like me and hated the Blu-Ray only because of how overly dark it was, this should be a treat for you. The being too dark is about the only negative thing I could say about it. Other than that, it was a well done Blu-Ray, without aliasing, halos, or banding plaguing it.


For playback all you need is the proper codec or media player if you don't already have it.
Combined Community Codec Pack or the K-Lite Codec pack should give you all you need and more to play these back.
If you do not wish to install a codec pack, a modern Media Player such as MPC-HC or VLC Media Player should come bundled with everything you need.
