Any recommended software?

...

HandBrake, or VidCoder (alternate UI, based on HandBrake core)

Thanks a lot, will give those a try.

Because my PC monitor currently won't handle 4K I'd like to convert a 4K rip to HD - what is the best way to achieve this please?

Any recommended software?

I'm using MakeMKV to perform the rip.

Ah, I see - thank you.

Would you be able to recommend any suitable software for the job?

My Blu-ray drive will handle 4K discs but my PC monitor won't, how can I rip a 4K disc to a file that's the equivalent of a smaller Blu-ray/HD rip? I can't see anything in the settings, etc but I guess I'm missing something.

I use VLC to play back the MKV files, etc.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

For example, AnyDVD or XReveal sits in the tray and when a Blu-ray disc is inserted it'll work its magic and I can then play the disc with VLC irrespective of the disc's region, etc.

Can MakeMKV act in the same way as AnyDVD or XReveal?

Should it though be necessary for customers to email PayPro Global? Surely the key should be sent automatically?

considering the dev hasn't updated the "beta" key, there might be something going on with them. i hope they're alright. makemkv has been on my list of programs i need to buy, but as a T1 at Amazon, money isn't quite in abundance *misty-eyed*. hope the dev is ok ;_; I was thinking the same...

Thanks, I had to resort to contacting Paypro Global and they sent me a key within minutes.

Thanks, after waiting for over an hour I contacted Paypro Global and they emailed me a key within minutes.

However, surely I shouldn't have needed to do that?

Did you ever get this sorted? I too have registered but not received a key.

Yes, yet another person who has registered but not received a key. Looking back through messages here and elsewhere this seems to be a common occurrence ongoing for years. It's not exactly an impressive way to introduce new customers. What is the current best way to retrieve my key? I saw one messag...
