Hi all,

I got a HD BluRay (the 4k UHD type) for my birthday because my family knows I have a 4k tv, however I don't actually
have a 4k HD BluRay player. All I have been using my 4k tv for so far is playing games from my PC, or watching upscaled
1080p videos. From my understand there are no HD BluRay player drives for computer?
And since the BluRay players to use with a TV are so expensive is it possible to just download the HD bluRay to a file and
play it from there off my computer streamed to the tv?

Would a normal BluRay disc drive work for this? Or any cd drive to rip the HD disc to a file?

Thanks!
 
Ok you need:
1. a high capacity blu-ray reader for your PC
2. Anydvd software
3. Ideally something (handbrake?) to compress it as blu-ray is 50-100gig
 
Are UHD discs even readable by standard Bluray drives? I checked online and this doesn't seem to be the case.

Yeah I don't think so. OP is out of luck unless he wants to pay up for a standalone UHD Blu ray player

They're BDXL discs as far as i'm aware of. (3 or 4 layers instead of 1 or 2) Anything that can read one of those can read a UHD disk.

Ripping is another story, not much can do that as of yet.

Personally i'd advocate against AnyDVD after the stunt the company pulled. It looks like DVDFab supports ripping 4k discs and they do have a free version I do believe.
 
Currently nothing on the PC can play UHD blu-rays. Some drives can read BDXL (higher capacity) discs but decryption/playback isn't possible.

What stunt are you referring to?
 
FnordMan said:
Closing the company and invalidating all past licenses then turning around and re-opening under a new name.

Do you have any references that what they say happened didn't happen? I wasn't happy about losing my lifetime license either, but I MORE than got my $100 worth out of the license. Since they stopped updating old licensure, I have found other programs that work just as well, and for free...so I haven't missed a beat.
 
Cheapest bluray UHD playback option is probably an xbox one s :( , though I seriously doubt there will be something for the pc for quite a while, especially with sony not including the format in their new play stations.
 
You can't rip a UHD disc AFAIK. No software supports decrypting it even if you have a drive that can read it. There will probably be no software solutions for PC till Kaby Lake processors hit the market and it will more than likely require it and Windows 10 due to the built in DRM on the chip.

No ripping software, huh? Next time, read the thread before replying. I stated as much above, DVDFab claims to be able to rip 4k media but I don't have any to test. (also don't really care, what with a 1080p monitor that I don't plan on replacing)

That can't rip a UHD Disc. It can process UHD material meaning 4K videos you created or downloaded off the net but not UHD DRM encrypted stuff that's on UHD discs. Go to the site and read it for yourself. It can handle 4K video but it doesn't say anywhere it can decrypt or rip it. All the programs only work on bluray discs not UHD bluray discs which has a completely different encryption.
 
I also have a lot of 4K Blu-ray disc and my solution is using a 4K Blu-ray Ripper program to rip 4K Blu-ray to H.265 codec for streaming to 4K TV via my Roku Premiere+.

Well since that software doesn't exist, we know you are full of shit.


Grats for revealing yourself. Have fun torrenting.
 
The only way to get Blu-ray UHD content onto the PC at the moment is to use an external player that supports it, run the feed into a HD Fury Integral with the old firmware that strips HDCP, then capture it with a 4K HDMI capture card (i.e. Blackmagic DeckLink supporting 2160p+HDR). However, that's just time consuming and expensive, and not considered a 1:1 rip. (and yes, this has been done before ;) )

HDfury, can you still buy these?

Also, they require Windows 10 and Kaby Lake CPU to work at all. Have fun with that bullshit.

No, the iGPU on KL was the first to OFFICIALLY support 4K, nvidia has since released a driver to support 4K as well.

If Linux or OSX decides to support the 4K DRM then they can too support 4K.

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know, Trim. May end up picking one up now (was mostly pissed at the CPU requirement)

I'd wait to see it tested first. I got one of the first BD players and it was crap at play back.

I think you mean HEVC decoding, since we've had 4K long before Kaby Lake.
 
Since Japan and USA use the same region code, there shouldn't be any basic restriction to using that drive in an American system right? I mean their SATA is just as slanted as ours right?

I've never ordered a ROM drive from another country but this is a good question. The SATA connector has to be the same unless it's not SATA. I'm not sure if firmware would prevent anything.
