Again, you are wrong. Messing with in this instance means "to tinker", but of course you knew that and "accidently" did not choose the most appropriate meaning, right?
Of course we know how the video was originally recorded AND how it was placed on the disc. The entertainment industry is not some fly by the seat of their pants industry where people just guess things and hope it is good. There are actual standards that they follow. If they do not, their movies look like crap and they are fired and those who know what they are doing are hired to replace them.
Really, you are trying too hard to pretend no one can know what the recorded video pressed to disc looks like .
You do seem to misunderstand what calibration means. This is not a surprise since you do not know that there are standards in color reproduction. You take a disc where the colors have been pressed to the ICC standard, then you display said colors. You then calibrate your display until the color you see exactly matches what the color is supposed to look like based on the standard. Whoala, you see the exact color that was pressed to the disc.
If you then turn on the enhancements, the colors will look different. If they are identical then the enhancement did nothing. Since they no longer look like the colors that are on the disc, we can safely they the video was messed with, aka tinkered with, with aka altered.
Also, how far away are you from your itty bitty 60 inch display? If you are around 4 feet away from it or further, you cannot tell the difference between 1080 and 4k - eyes simply cannot do it. There is a great chart here:

The human eye is amazing, but it is limited. For that small sized display, the optimal viewing distance is about 5 feet. No, not 5 feet from the TV to the couch - that would be where your knees are - your head is another 1.5 feet further back when you are seated.
I looked at the picture of the kid with a tan he does not actually have, sand that is darker than it actually is, and an artificial looking blue sky and decided I did not want that kind of messed up video. I would rather keep to what is pressed to disc, thank you very much.
All that said, of course you should get what you paid for. The OP of this thread only has an AMD A10 5700 APU and to use TrueTheater HD he needs at least an AMD Phenom II X6. His CPU simply is not powerful enough for the job. CPUBoss rates his CPU at 5.7 out of 10 and the X6 at 7.8 out of 10 (I chose the slowest X6 out there) - showing just how much weaker his CPU is than what is required. He bought software where he could not use all the features, so he turned them off and the rest works. It is his own fault, and he is fine with it. Most likely he did not bother to look up the requirements and thought he easily met them like most people do. Post processing takes a LOT of power, power he cannot provide, so the video became juddery and unwatchable.
Here is the link to the CPUBoss results:

No one can blame Cyberlink, Microsoft, AMD, Intel, etc. for the problem when the root cause is that his CPU simply is not strong enough for the task at hand.
Since Cyberlink provides a free trial copy of their software, all this could have been tested in advance and discovered before hand. The OP did not do that - most people do not, so you really cannot say he was stupid or anything.
He is happy with turning off features his computer is not powerful enough to run. Why are you so bent out of shape about it?
