New Intel Chips

Post by centuryx476 »

Hello,
Apparently Intel is taking out SGX on the new generation of chips. This is needed for blu-ray playback.
Does this have any effect on makemkv and ripping ?

No, I don't think so. MakeMKV works just fine on AMD CPUs, which also don't have SGX.

Actually, it's needed for OFFICIALLY LICENSED SOFTWARE that plays UHD video right from the disk.

Unofficial software has no need for SGX.

Have to wonder if the OFFICIALLY LICENSED SOFTWARE will opt to simply not try to hide the DRM code in SGX to maintain their market going forward.

Simple, just keep an old PC with MakeMKV on it and use an external drive that can be swapped between machines.

You don't need an old PC. MakeMKV doesn't need Intel SGX to work at all. MakeMKV works on AMD CPUs, Apple Silicon CPUs and ARM CPUs (in the Raspberry Pi) and none of them have Intel SGX.

As Woodstock said, the only thing you need Intel SGX for is to use officially licensed UHD playback software to play a UHD on an official UHD drive.

Already happened sadly but they didn't opt not to hide it they just got rid of it.

Cyberlink software won't play 4K UHD Blu rays anymore on new processors.

To confirm, the new Intel CPUs work well with MakeMKV, correct?

Everyone should be using VLC as a player anyway. It plays everything, and UHD isn't washed out.
