I tried buying a movie on iTunes (STAR WARS ep. 7) and, well. apparently something changed and my PC setup is no longer HDCP compliant. so I can't play it full res. plus, it's compressed down to only 5.2 GB? like, they call that high definition?? that's practically a scene release squeezed into a DVD.

so I went to a local store and bought the blu ray and put it in my PLAYSTATION 4. instantly plays just fine with crystal clear picture and audio. seamless experience. who gives a gently caress that i have to keep a plastic disc around

because all the movie companies have gone all lovely about exclusive streaming platforms and stuff disc netflix is better than it's ever been especially since blu-rays don't get scratched as easily as dvds

just go to the public library which is like an old fashioned video store that you don't have to pay to borrow from because taxes. also there are books there not just dvds and blurays

I didn't have to wait for a firmware update because PS4 automatically downloads updates in sleep mode

is there an acceptable way to rip blurays without relying on a complex toolchain of ultra-grognardy programs full of complex encoding options that only pagancow would understand? does it still take hours and hours for a single movie? tia.

the only blu ray i own is lotr theatrical editions they're more tightly paced and generally better films than the extended versions

iirc the first gen ps3 is still the only way to rip SACDs

carry on then posted:isn't the ps3 still one of the top 5 blu-ray players? although that might not be due to picture quality PCMag did this, and they were basically saying "hey look it's also a video games" but for real, ps3/ps4 is the best because you can also use it as a netflix/youtube/hulu box and not worry about being dropped for support because it's a big flagship product

if I was creating a high def video format, I would probably not name it something close to blurry

FYI: like half of the '4K' blu-ray releases are upscaled 2K DIs

4k is a hilarious ripoff because tv manufacturers are desperate for more sales and are grasping at any possible gimmick to create a thee to four year refresh cycle

the Xbox one has blu ray and all sorts of other television applications for your viewing pleasure. take heart in the futuristic wonder of yelling "CORTANA, OPEN THAT BLU RAY!" at your television set. what a time to be alive

Sure, I'll buy the newer version of the product that was intentionally hamstringed and has the laggiest UI ever made and doesn't support basic stuff like Amazon video even tho refrigerators support that, even though all that stuff could be fixed with a basic update. Or I could use the superior PS3, whose only disadvantage is size and Apple couldn't even be bothered to make their new one in stick form.
