I really like Calman Video Pro but it is stupidly expensive. I have not used the home versions, much more affordable and only for specific TVs but a good option if that is what you want to calibrate. Lightspace is also said to be a very good option but I haven't looked into it, also quite expensive.

DisplayCal + ArgyllCMS is what I would recommend unless you really want to start spending money. We can help debug your issues.

Do you have any non-ascii characters in your user name? How about something syncing those folders to the cloud?

Yeah, never mind about that question. It would fail every time if it was a character bothering it.

just do it step by step.

so don't create a 3D LUT just created readings first and then the 3D LUT and maybe it is better if you deleted the storage folder or try to save the next project in a different folder that is not a default windows folder.

there are so meany reasons for your error another instance didn't stop could even be the widows anti virus still checking this new file.

even if the error happens again the readings my exist already so you can create the 3D LUT from it.

It says the file is in use by other process or program, I have this error very rarely. The folder with the calibration is not on the OS ssd, It may be my antivirus...nod32. I'll try to make the calibration first and unchek "create 3dlut after calibration" option. And to be sure I'll pause the protection of the antivirus.

the problem is the temp folder not sure if this folder is changeable
but you already changed the "choose save path..."

again this error may not matter if you tell me when it happens you can just do the next step.

what so ever something is touching these files.

I got it fixed, it seems that one system process was locking the displaycal temp folder - the process werfault.exe, by using unlock software, I managed to get the calibration right this time. Thank you for the help guys.

In order to prevent black crush for windows calibration and madvr 3dlut (2.2 gamma for windows and 2.4 gamma for 3dlut with 100% black output offset gives me black clipping and crush), is it a good choice to enable black point compensation? This is for XYZ LUT+matrix the default profile in displaycal.

could be an issue with relative/absolute render intent and or gamma.

what do you understand as black crush?

With relative gamma 2.4 and 40% black output offset I can see bar 17 barely flashing and 18 is visible. With 100% black output offset I can't see them at all.

Same thing with absolute, with absolute I can set 50% black output offset, anything above that is clipping the blacks. Same situation without the 3dlut.

try to fix the black clipping before you create 3d lut by using custom levels in madVR use a meter to verify.

i do this using a pure black png loaded in madVR but i haven't needed it in years.

and there was something related to gamma settings but i simply can't remember my current TV is perfect in this task.

Can I enable in the profile settings - enable black point compensation? Would that fix the black clipping?
