Stop competing for Joey’s attention we’ve all made some very good points! Just let him make his decision already and then we can plan the wedding!
Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1 — Page 77

I meant to question doing everything but just playing the files straight from a computer in their original form if all you want to do is watch them. Going to extremes to burn discs when you don’t have the equipment to create or view the discs or spending hours of frustration trying to make something play on hardware not intended to play files like these, and God knows what cost to quality, is what I question if other options are not also considered first.
To be clear, I’m a big fan of media I can hold in my hand, not ethereal bits floating around God knows where. If the DeEd project ever settles on versions and especially has an official BD structure with menus and everything, I’m all over burning it and archiving it unaltered. There’s every reason to burn these to disc if that’s something you’re into. Personally, while the DeEd versions are in flux, I’ve found it best for me to stay up to date by playing the files directly, rather than burning works in progress and wasting BD media as they update. As things stand now with the project, unless there are specific playback requirements (consistency across different hardware, gifts to people, playing it at random locations/events), I don’t see burning discs as the best first option. We’ll get there before long, but I just don’t see it that way yet.
I didn’t mean to come off as blasting the idea of writable/archival media in general.

Exactly the sort of circular logic I would expect from a ring enthusiast.

Circular? YSYL is as direct as it gets.

You guys did well but I’m almost positive I’m getting handed the rose at the end of this page.
And not that it makes a difference at this point Joey because I know the votes are already in and all, but I can really cook and I’m very pretty in certain low light conditions.

Honestly he’s not lying Joey but he can’t cook his way out of a wet paper bag so please keep this in mind.

I can cook where it counts. And I’m not talking about the kitchen.

He’s just being zany so it’s classic Frink I guess, but to be honest Joey this reminds me of how pleasant your Mother is - and how much I get along with her compared to the other posters here. She can be pushy sometimes, sure - but that’s just part of her charm. We have a bunch in common.

Frink is the bad boy I can’t deny that. Bit of a badass, that Frink.
Don’t leave us hanging Joey.

I completely agree. I have a dedicated HDMI cable going into my Onkyo receiver and plugged it into my Macbook. I set the VLC media player audio output to HDMI digital so I can get the Dolby surround encoding and boom, it looks and sounds amazing on my HDTV.
I’ll eventually burn to Blu Ray, most likely once Jedi 2.0 is ready. I’m also considering making my own menus, but for now, this is an easy 2 minute setup that looks great.

How can Joey make the right choice if he’s distracted by all this technical nonsense?

I have tried to read through some of this thread, but I don’t understand much about this topic. My situation is this:
I have the MKV files for the first 2 movies on my computer. My computer has an HDMI out slot. I play one of the files in VLC on my computer, plug an hdmi cable into a receiver, which puts my computer screen on my tv. When the movie is played, it looks and sounds surprisingly good on my tv (surprising because I didn’t know how else to play these files on my tv, but noticed my old desktop does in fact have an hdmi slot).
So I am wondering if my method is not the preferred one, if peoples’ computers just don’t have hdmi slots, or if there’s some better way of doing this process?
And also, does anyone know off hand what the optimal settings would be in VLC and/or my receiver for playing this? On my test run I believe I switched the sound on VLC to 5.1, and my receiver to 7 channel audio. (btw this is not my receiver and tv, and I know little about this stuff).
