So, I have a uhd ripper bought from a member here👍, and use makemkv as well.

I want to expand on a UHD region FW upgradable player for 1080p blurays.

Not optical/portable but stationary under my tv.

I cannot find a suitable forum for what I think I need.

UHD player w/1080 region free FW Players?


From my understanding, a UHD player depending on the brand could be flashed to be region free?

Explanation, I have UHD collection and also 1080p. I have a few 1080p UK version like 2005 the fog.

I am in the USA.

Panasonic/Sony? ?

Am new to the scene of UHD/1080p/dvd player but not FW flashing.

What options are here in the usa?

Modded FW providers?

Suggestions/solutions?

Thanks.

When I play Horizon 2024 4k disc in VLC and drag VLC from my 1920x1080p monitor to my 4k tv, HDR label is not displayed on my TV and quality looks bad. Also, Integrat...

Works for me.

Thanks guys.

It isn't a TAR until you remove the gzip encoding that makes it smaller. Kind of like zip, but it isn't. First extract the TAR file from the tar.gz file (gunzip makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz) then you can use TAR to break the files out. You seem sophisticated. What about this? admin1@ItsAlive:~/Downloa...

Improperly compressed 1.17.7 archives

That thread is probably relevant.

This is with makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz & makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz .

What do you do for a 4K rip? Do you resize it down to 1080? Do you tone map from HDR to SDR? I just makemkv my 4k's to HDD "need to multiplex em to edit the fields on mkvtoolnix to make the mkv proper, like hevc dts language for each selection of vid sound subs etc." "rehaul em"...

So, I use Makemkv for my 4k-n-1080p movies, then I just upgraded my computer to a AM5 9950x overclocked @ 5.8Ghz mild load and full load @ 5.5Ghz.
