What's the point ?
UHD Blu-rays are not able to play on unlicensed players.
If you want to watch little 4K video clips that are 10 bit I suppose.
I'll say again though, what's the point ?

No regular Blu-rays are encoded with HDR.
And Dolby Vision, not even any of the commercial UHD Blu-ray players support that, not even Oppo.
Oppo says no Dolby Vision for their new UHD player.

Maybe give it a year or two.

It's too bad it couldn't somehow be implemented, it would solve allot problems when or if UHD-Blu-ray drives are made available to for the PC.
Maybe Chainik should go work for Cyberlink on the side and re-write the software to make it work.
I'm sure it's very easy...

At 2160p I have 4:2:0 8 bit and no matter the settings in MadVR, I see banding in that scene, but not quite as bad in your screen shot.
It's pretty much gone if I reduce the frame rate or resolution to 1080p _ this allows me to use 4:4:4  12 bit _ it's almost there, but if I hadn't come across this thread and watched that scene, I don't think it would have bothered me.

This is with SVP disabled.
Go into the NVIDIA control panel and set your colour space to 4:4:4 (or highest setting) and your bit rate to the max.
Try it with SVP and SVP disabled _ honestly though I can't see how SVP would cause banding issues or chromatic aberration, it's designed to interpolate frames, not touch colour space or bit rate.

In all cases what ever I did I don't have any chromatic aberration and I don't have Oblivion any more to test with, but I don't remember it being a problem when I did watch it.

An interesting point is that when I used Cyberlinks Power DVD14, the banding was worse again.

At any rate, I'm going to say the problems are in the source material more then anything and has nothing to do with SVP or your NVIDIA card.

In many cases it's in the source, and when it is, I find it can be reduced, but never really gotten rid of.
I have a GTX980 as well, but I can't see that as being the cause of it.

eg.
Disneynature's Monkey Kingdom.
At the end of the scene where the "troop" has finished raiding the kids the birthday party.
They're full of cake and junk food and are going to sleep after stuffing them selves.
If you keep watching, the night time sky falls and there is some (what I would call) serious banding.

If I set my resolution at 1080p in the NVIDIA control panel and choose chroma subsampling 4:4:4
at 12 bit, I still get it.
At those settings there shouldn't be any.
Doesn't matter what I choose in MadVR...

It gets even worse when I choose a resolution of 2160p as the chroma subsampling drops to 4:2:0
at 12 bit.
And again MadVR can do pretty nothing to correct this.

Now at 2160p, I was told that the best that can happen is 8bit (Sony 300ES Projector) even though I can choose 12 bit in the NVIDIA control panel.
So there must be some sort of EDIT anomaly going here _ so it's really hard to say

At any rate I am convinced that Disney used some pretty piss poor cameras here.

EDIT:
I just looked at your screen shot, that's not that bad, it's far worse in Monkey Kingdom.
As you said, it only happens in some movies _ so I'm going to say it's in the source and there isn't much that can be done about it.

What was the movie that your screen shot is from ?
I'll check and see _ chances are pretty good that I have it.

I've had two projectors and one 4K Sony TV all with FI and all function better then SVP.
SVP always has more halo effect.
I found that if I ran SVP and FI on the display at the same time, any defects in SVP remain, the display did not magically clear the defects up.
There was no advantage running two FI systems at the same time.

@raziel
When playing a Blu-ray for example, if your Blu-ray was filmed at 23.976 fps, set your HTPC to refresh at that rate and disable everything else _ SVP _ Reclock.
I found the least amount of processing the TV receives the better, the TV's "Clear Motion" drive will work better just on its own.
Any 3:2 pull down should be left up to the TV.

So I left "Song Of The Sea" for the time it took me to go out to the garage and bring some Christmas decorations _ 10 minutes, and after that time SVP was working.
An annoying problem, yes, but it does work eventually ????

Why do some discs work pretty much right away and some take longer ?
SVP 3 didn't have this problem and if it's because of Mediainfo, then there should be a way to disable it.

And my ISO of Hobbit works fine for me too.

If you're playing the disc directly just for 3D testing and you're using Stereoscopic player, then you need to have your decrypter running in the back ground.
Stereoscopic player is un-lisenced and will not play commercial Blu-ray disc with out them being decrypted first.

You created a MKV file of a Blu-ray, what decrypter did you use, MakeMKV ?

And to make an ISO of a Blu-ray disc, Imgburn is usually the preferred program, but you still need to have a decrypter running in the back ground.

Those applications that Chainik linked you to may have the ability to create an ISO as well, but I've used Imgburn for years and it works very well.

I wouldn't call a program that gets things wrong an industry standard _ the way I see it, it's just a free application that doesn't get updated to work properly because it's free.
The first screen shot is correct, but not the second one, it shows a movie that's 1 hour and 33 minutes long to be 5 hours and 27 minutes and with 252 audio streams.
I think this is a serious issue if SVP4 relies on Mediainfo to function correctly.
It isn't just this one disc or ISO, it's quite a few _ when it doesn't work it throws SVP4 into a "Not responding" mode.

So I have a new region "B" disc from the UK of "Suite Francaise" and the actual disc works fine with SVP4 ????
I thought maybe something was fixed, but not so, "Song Of The sea" still doesn't work _ same problem as described above.

Maybe something to do with region "B" discs and why Nintendo Maniacs disc worked.
I took a look at both discs with BDinfo and there doesn't seem to be a difference _ both are at 29.976FPS.

And to further complicate things, the saved ISO of the Disney movie "Inside/Out" acts very strange.
SVP takes forever to kick in, it starts off at 161 FPS and the falls to 29.976 FPS and then it takes all day for SVP to ramp the frames up to 59.94 FPS.
After which, the SVP window shows up indicating that it's enabled.

What has changed or broke in SVP 4, but worked perfectly fine in SVP3 ???

If you want I can post the screen shots from BDinfo...

I've tried AMD, I find their control panel very difficult to navigate/things seem to be buried.
I did have a high end card from them once _ it was OK, but I just seem to be stuck on NVIDIA
I only bought the AMD card to try their Motion Flow with Power DVD _ Meh....
I returned it later for a refund.
