[MegaMTBB] Uma Musume Pretty Derby - Beginning of a New Era (2024) (DCP 1152p) | Umamusume | Shin Jidai no Tobira

Recently, a version of Beginning of a New Era meant for playback in movie theaters was leaked. This release aims to convert this so-called "DCP" into a more widely playable format (HEVC 10-bit 4:4:4). Unlike my previous DCP release, this encode has had significant filtering applied to it to reduce haloing and aliasing, meaning that it is by no means a "definitive" release of the movie. Nor is it especially useful for archival purposes, since various Blu-Ray corrections were spliced into the encode. The most I can say is that this is subjectively a more pleasant viewing experience than other options, and it certainly contains more actual detail than any Blu-Ray release.

Because this video is 10-bit 4:4:4, VLC will not play it correctly. If you insist on using VLC, you should seek out another release. That also goes for people who want to watch the movie on weak hardware (phones, TVs).

A note on the listed resolution: The (somewhat unfortunate) release standard in this community is to list files at their theoretical 16:9 vertical resolution even when the file has been cropped to a wider aspect ratio. So this file is in no sense 1152p—it is 2048x858. Listing it at 858p would imply that it has less detail than a "1080p" Blu-Ray release, which is not the case. I ask for your understanding.

Contains 5.1 and 2.0 audio.
