Why is Netflix smoother than DVD/Blurays? (sh.itjust.works)

Hi everyone!

I have a collection of around 200 movies on DVD/Blurays that I’ve ripped with MakeMKV.

Wether I watch these on my Htpc with Kodi or on my Playstation 5, there are less fluid/smooth than when I watch Netflix on my TV.

As if the movies were 24/25 fps on dics and 60fps on Netflix.

And I have the same motion settings for all sources, but Netflix is still smoother without having too much of a sitcom effect. Am I the only one noticing this and how do they do this? I haven’t found anything on the web about this..

Maybe it's just your TV using a film profile with "enhanced fluidity", while isn't used in the game profile for the PS5. I avoid too much of that since feels artificial to me.

That’s what’s weird, for the native Netflix app I’m on Standard motion mode when I’m on « fluide » mode for movies on PS5/HTPC.

But I guess the problem is probably coming from something being set up differently if Netflix doesn’t have a secret sauce and my TV is capable to be perfectly smooth when displaying Netflix movies..
