We have a 5-6 years old Panasonic SA BTT270 Home theatre in a box which works perfectly well coupled to our Samsung Smart TV. You can even still do DV movie compression in a roundabout way, muxing out the 2 video layers, compressing the HDR layer, then muxing back in with the DV layer.īut you don't need to be compressing if just reading and ripping, they are not the same thing.My Windows Home version is 21H2 OS build 19044.1415 my Graphics card is a GeForce GTX 1050Ti updated with the latest drivers.įor Xmas I received the latest release from Eric Clapton on bluray.

If you're compressing to shrink size or burn in soft subs, there have been full pipeline 10-bit encoders capable of keeping HDR data for years. iso, and/or being able to add them to Plex or something similar so you don't have to get up and physically swap out discs (especially if watching a TV series), or even just UHD physical playback capabilities of discs for an HTPC.

When you flash a modified firmware, you're just telling it too ignore any AACS flags (I believe the lookup part is what's removed from the firmware and that's it - I extracted and edited my own firmware too when I did the flashing, IIRC I just had to remove some parts with a HEX editor and not actually add or change any lines - but this was 3 years ago so I could be misremembering) and simply read the files on the disc that it can see, the files are still DRM encrypted.Īs for why, archival backup of the physical discs as. Correct UHD BR discs are really just BD-XL discs, which is why you can flash some BR drives to read UHD discs (folder structure and file containers and everything the same too basically with just HEVC codec being new).
