# UHD WEBDL REMUX HQ-Encodes

Note

Keep in mind this SQP is a WIP, Changes are done when needed.

It uses Custom Formats and specific needed settings that probably will never make it to the guide, being the guide is used by the mass and what's used here is specific made.

This also means some Custom Formats needs manual updating or you can use one of the 3rd party automation tools.

## Why choose this quality profile

Why choose this quality profile? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

- You got a decent audio setup. (that supports all HD audio formats)
- You got a setup that completely supports DoVi from start to end.
- You do want the highest quality as possible to watch but want to save space for archiving without loosing video and audio quality.
- HDR/DoVi (Depending what's offered and often both)
- HD Audio (Atmos, TrueHD etc...)
- You don't want to wait for the HQ Encodes to be released, to watch it.

## Workflow Rules

Workflow Rules - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

1. With this profile you would download the 4k WEB-DL (streaming services)
2. When the 4k Remux is released it will upgrade to the 4k Remux.
3. When the HQ Encode is released it will upgrade to the HQ Encode.
4. When there is no HQ Encode you still get the 4k Remuxes.

Optional IMAX Enhanced

- When a IMAX Enhanced exist it will upgrade/downgrade to IMAX Enhanced.
- IMAX Enhanced will be ONLY chosen if it has the same AUDIO and HDR Metadata

Hint

If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then it's best to add ALL the HDR Metadata even the ones with DV in it, and then make sure you make use of the DV (WEBDL) Custom Format with a score of -10000

IMAX Enhanced

IMAX Enhanced: Get More Picture Instead of Black Bars.

IMAX Enhanced exclusive expanded aspect ratio is 1:90:1, which offers up to 26% more picture for select sequences, meaning more of the action is visible on screen.

If you don't prefer `IMAX Enhanced` then don't add it or use a score of `0`

Proper and Repacks - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Radarr

`Media Management` => `File Management` to `Do Not Prefer` and use the Repack/Proper Custom Format.

This way you make sure the Custom Formats preferences will be used and not ignored.

Breakdown and Why

- BR-DISK : This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.
- EVO (no WEBDL): This group is often banned for the low quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DL are okay.
- LQ: A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.

- x265 (HD): This blocks/ignores 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.

  Don't use this together with the following Custom Format x265 (no HDR/DV)

- x265 (no HDR/DV): This blocks/ignores 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.

  but it will allow to exclude/bypass if it has HDR and/or DV

  Being that some NF releases won't be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.

  In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format: `-10000`

  Don't use this together with the following Custom Format x265 (HD)

- 3D: Is 3D still a thing for home use ?

- No-RlsGroup: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group what could result in LQ groups getting a higher score. For example a lot of EVO releases end up stripping the group name, so they appear as "upgrades", and they end up getting a decent score if other things match.
- Obfuscated: [Optional] (use these only if you dislike renamed releases)
- Retags: [Optional] (use these only if you dislike retagged releases)
- Bad Dual Groups: [Optional] These groups take the original release, then they add their own preferred language (ex. Portuguese) as the main audio track (AAC 2.0), What results after renaming and FFprobe that the media file will be recognized as Portuguese AAC audio. It's a common rule that you add the best audio as first. Also they often even rename the release name in to Portuguese.

- DV (WEBDL): This is a special Custom Format that Block WEBDL with Dolby Vision but without HDR10 fallback.

  This Custom Format works together with the normal DV Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.

  Most WEBDL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR10, What can results in playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.

  Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.

  Hint

  `[DV WEBDL]` = This custom format you need to score depending of your personal use and setup.

  - If you only watch your movies on a setup that completely supports Dolby Vision from start to end then give it a score of `0` or just don't add it.
  - If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then you should add this with a score of `-10000`.
