    This could be a huge deal for anyone working on video codecs or display tech. Finding legally clear, high-quality, uncompressed (or mezzanine) 4K HDR footage to test encoders against is surprisingly difficult. Most test footage you find online has already been stomped on by YouTube or Meta compression.Having the raw EXR sequences and the IMF packages for Sol Levante and Meridian means researchers can finally benchmark AV1 vs HEVC vs VVC using source material that actually has the dynamic range to show the differences. The fact that they included the Dolby vision metadata is the cherry on top.

    Funny how how all the links, including the ones to their own pages, are routed through google.com/url, e.g. the link "Assets Available to Download". Usually tracking isn't quite this visible.

    More recent content from Netflix is part of the ASWF Digital Production Example Library. https://dpel.aswf.io/

    I was curious about this recently. I was wondering about open files of well known artists.Unlike netflix/YouTube its not immediately clear to me which Organisation would spearhead something like this out of their own interesting. Closest I know of is the MuseGroup, which are doing this "growing of the pie" with open source music creation Software.Anyone know of something else?

    Is this for some sort of a formal compliance or being able to point out "we host things free of charge too?

    There’s basically zero innovation in online video.Such a pity startups can’t innovate on the content stores of the big companies.

    Anyone else surprised that the download links are plain HTTP without SSL? I know it's a page that in the past I would have typically not worried about securing - but nowadays it's SSL everything or else your browser yells at you.

    With all that $500K talent, you would think they could make a better looking website.
