    Blu Ray 1:1 streaming

    (On another huge tangential rant, partly historical). If I were waste cash on 4Kbluray, I would only really buy 4Kbluray discs of movies (or hypothetical tv shows) that I am willing to devote my full attention to watching. So far of all the stuff released on 4Kbluray, there is nothing yet...

    Blu Ray 1:1 streaming

    So most of my HTPC activities (however primitive), involves watching generic tv show episodes (or movie series) played in sequential order in the background when I'm at home. Much easier to do this on the computer, than swapping out 10+ dvd discs. I mostly do this for episodic stuff, where I...

    Blu Ray 1:1 streaming

    (This may be a superfluous tangent, though I'll mention it anyways). If you're into ripping/cracking dvd + bluray discs and data integrity is your main objective, there is an unfortunate hidden-in-plain-sight problem with LG manufactured dvd/bluray drives. Almost all LG optical drives have a...

    Blu Ray 1:1 streaming

    Awhile ago I briefly read through various publicly available 4Kbluray information on the technical details. The one case which might be crackable, would be if the decryption keys are on the discs (ie. simlar to bluray and dvd). Another hypothetical case is the encryption keys being stored on...
