4K Remaster

A remastered or mastered in 4K should give you usually the best picture and audio currently for the movie. Both are just names to describe the best possible current release of the movie.

To be clear, the final digital films on the Mastered in 4K Blu-rays still only have the same 1920 x 1080 pixels of actual resolution as normal Blu-rays. But the argument goes that because these full HD files were derived from higher-resolution masters, their images will be more precise, with better colors, less noise, and enhanced sharpness and detail. Not least because the higher-resolution mastering process will provide more detail from the original print for the Blu-ray masters to draw on when going through their (hopefully…) frame-by-frame compression process.

Another important element of the Mastered in 4K discs is that they’re all mastered with ‘x.v.YCC’ color specification. This delivers an expanded color range closer to that contained in source material.

720p

This Custom Format can boost 720p releases. It is only useful if you use Merge Qualities in your Quality Profile.

AV1

AV1 encodes are currently targeting small file sizes, rather than good visual quality.

• This is a new codec and you need modern devices that support it.
• We also had reports of playback/transcoding issues.
• No main group is actually using it (yet).
• It's better to ignore this new codec to prevent compatibility issues

Bad Dual/Multi groups

These release groups do not use the original language of the media as the first audio track. Since ffprobe relies on the first audio track to determine the primary language of the release, incorrect ordering can lead to parsing issues. This may result in failed imports, misidentified files, or even download loops. To ensure proper handling, the original language should always be the first audio track in the release.

BR-DISK

This is a custom format to help Radarr/Sonarr recognize and ignore BR-DISK (ISOs and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.

Depending on your renaming scheme, it could happen that Radarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,
This is a cosmetic annoyance until we come up with another way to solve this,
Since this Custom Format is used not to download BR-DISK, it fulfills its purpose as intended.
There are several reasons why this is happening:

- Blame the often incorrectly used naming of x265 encodes.
- Radarr/Sonarr uses dynamic custom formats.
