Been a while since I last posted. I've read through this whole thread a few times now. I've got a good collection going now. Special thanks to dcoke22 for all the help and patience. Might be a while before I'm back this way again but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the helpful and det...

Hi dcoke22. I've been away so sorry for the belated reply. Regarding frame rate in Handbrake, I think I'm usually at 60 FPS with Peak Framerate checked. With Peak Framerate checked, Handbrake uses the frame rate setting as an upper limit on FPS and below that level it does 'same as source'. The resu...

I've been away, but I'm back and appreciate the reply, Segfaulted, I'll jump in and throw some of my own thoughts here. One setting you didn't mention was framerate. Do you generally just leave framerate at default settings? (30, with "peak framerate" box checked) Other sources I read sugg...

At the most basic level, this is how Plex works, sending movies across your local network. The general rule of thumb is the more parts of your network that can be hardwired the better off you'll be. huh. Interesting. I think I'll look into Plex more as I thought this was an online server. It would ...

EDIT: Sorry for the long post, but at this point I think I solved the issue, but would really appreciate it if someone could read to end and just confirm my conclusion. I own the US bluray set of Starwars 1-3, including the Phantom menace. With Phantom Menace, I'm having trouble with the audio when ...

All good info again, thank you. I hadn't thought about the noise of the External Hard Drive. Good point, but I hope the sound of the movie drowns it out some. I've never tried this before, but what about running the hard drive off another PC in my home network? Once I get it setup, could I play movi...

dcoke22, Wow, thanks again for a generous outpouring of your time and good information. I've gotten a bunch of blurays from ebay, thrift stores and flee markets and have ripped several now. Your audio explanations helped clear things up and in some cases adding an extra track, as you say, doesn't ad...

dcoke22, Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff to a noob like me. If you can clear up any of the following questions, that would be much appreciated. Q. Audio Choices When ripping bluray, what's good practice on the audio? I just have a soundbar that came with a small subwoofer. The soun...

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Please help me finally clear up the last of my questions. Okay, thanks for your patience. So to make sure I get it, are all of the following true? 1. ANY Pioneer from your list of Pioneers WILL work so long as it's flashed to the older firmware 2. Once flashed, any o...

I followed your instructions and everything worked out great. Thanks cooper!

Regarding the "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024" thread (easy found by searching the forum) Just to be overly clear, when it says "PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time", th...

I installed my Pioneer BDR-212V tonight and flashed it, and it looks like it's working great. I was able to successfully rip a 4K movie with it. Thanks! Can you please share how you flashed it. I ordered it also and it is expected to arrive on Monday. PM sent I hate to pile on, but I also have one ...

If the fw is after 12/22 the pioneer won't work sadly. I still have new pioneers with old fw if you want one only 5.25 drives though all the USB ones sold out last year Hi, late to thread, but I have read your excellent flashing guide. I was also confused in the same way as the OP regarding the lis...

dcoke22, Thanks for the reply. You're so right about the convenience of just being able to click and open a movie off a hard/flash drive. I kinda hate the ps4 controller for this. In factg, I've seen on places like ebay that you can download digital copies and of course sometimes digital copies are ...
