Re: 4K file playback "plug in" for VLC?

I registered MakeMKV (thank you, Mike!), then checked the "VLC" box on the integrations tab in MakeMKV. This allowed me to play a 4K Bluray directly in VLC.

your 1080p monitors are also likely not HDR and HDR movies on a SDR display looks worse than regular Bluray
Obviously, but that’s not the point. My workstation is just a place for ripping, staging, and transcoding for my home theater and other platforms.

Well, sounds like a *great* excuse to get a 2080 RTX! :)

Re: WH16NS40 with WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk

Those cards don't support h.265/hvec decoding that's your problem also I wouldn't consider them fully 4k capable they support 4k at 30 fps max and no HDR. VLC plays the HEVC-encoded 68 GB MKV smoothly and clearly for about 10 seconds, before completely freezing. No stuttering prior. I believe that ...

Re: WH16NS40 with WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk

I appreciate the continued interest with helping me. In general, I would expect spec issues to result in video stuttering, playback refusing to start, or some other performance-type issues. Ripping control away from the Windows 10 kernel and freezing even the mouse is completely different and indica...

Re: WH16NS40 with WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk

Quick follow-up: Just received my WH16NS40 1.04 unit and loaded WH16NS60 1.02MK firmware. Worked fine. Backed up UHD DVD via MakeMKV just fine. However, neither VLC nor 5KPlayer will play actual disc. Also, playing MKV *freezes* my entire system (sometimes plays smoothly for a minute, but randomly j...

WH16NS40 with WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk

So, given the new hex edited firmware as laid out by Mike, what is the dead simplest way to take a current retail WH16NS40 to WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk? I'd like to hit the 30 min 49 sec rip time noted in https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19387. * this actually calls for a BH16NS40, but can th...
