Re: Jurassic Park (1) UHD rip error

Others may know of a more thorough cleaning procedure for potential scratches, but I highly recommend a pack of these microfibre cleaning cloths off Amazon- particularly for UHD ripping, as recommended to me by @asmcom I soon ordered a pack after a rip failed after an hour or so - fingerprints I sus...

unrelated question but do you know which of the 3 mkv files/tracks on the UHD for the main movie is the "right one"?
See links in my sig to learn how to identify the correct mpls to rip. This one and this one. Second one, GetMPLS Method is probably the easiest.

[Info] Italian Steelbook - Killers Of The Flower Moon

It's been discussed a fair bit on various forums, Reddit etc, someone may correct me but I think it's the only 4k disc release atm? It was purchased from Amazon Italy. Some forums/reviews have said the UHD is region locked (B). No idea how to tell but XReveal disc info is as follows, no mention of a...

Re: Creating new subtitles for a film?

The ones I downloaded (and can also open in SE) have the subs in the black bar at the bottom... SRT subs,I believe there are some alignment tags, waste of time IMO as it's hit and miss which players support the tags. {\an1}Bottom-left {\an2}Bottom-Center {\an3}Bottom-right {\an4}Middle-left {\an5}M...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I'm trying to use dovi_tool and follow the workflows to described here. I have a windows 11 machine, but can't for the life of me work out where to put the dovi_tool.exe file so that is addressable by the command line. Can anyone enlighten me? Quick and easy method, download and merge the "Com...

After merging, for some reason the new subtitles will not show up (I‘m using the VLC player).
See Mux/Remux: Set A Subtitle Stream On By Default (Forced) link in my sig. This one.

Re: Creating new subtitles for a film?

So when you buy a Blu Ray or a 4K disc, what format are those subtitles natively or does it vary depending on the disc? PGS, a timed sequence of images. Presentation Grapic Stream Subtitle Format Consists in bitmaps (and the timeframes on which they have to be displayed). It's by far the most commo...

Re: Question About Pioneer external Blue Ray Drives

2. Regarding the reliability is it better to stay with a top loader or are the slot-in drives also good in long term usage ? No problems with my BDR-XD07TS external USB top loader, since I posted my @asmcom review ( here ) I've added an external power supply, just feel a bit happier that way. The l...

Re: Creating ISO with MakeMKV

Each to their own of course and obviously we each have our preferred methods. Unless storage space is of no concern isn't it wasting what could be a lot space storing menus, extras, lots of un needed subtitle and audio streams in the ISO? Is this just for playback on your computer, you can't stream ...

Re: Creating ISO with MakeMKV

DVD's are currently the only format that will create an ISO by default from what I see. I currently just back-up the BD/UHD disc, then use imgburn to convert it to an ISO file. And how do you play the ISO file if it's a Blu-ray? Why do you need to create ISO's, are you burning discs? To play an ISO...

Re: Audio issues/Playback buffering issues

You could reencode your 4k rips down to half their bitrate and not notice any quality loss which would probably solve your issue when using wi-fi. ...when streaming 4k encodes. 4K encodes via wifi... As mentioned I do encode them, keeping huge 4K remuxes would soon eat my NAS. Sorted now anyway.

Wired ethernet's main advantage over wireless is it has consistent, stable bandwidth and is less affected by environmental concerns. Sorry to bump this thread after a few days but taking into account what @dcoke22 posted, it is indeed true. I've just this weekend wired my Firestick 4K and although ...
