search for 4k hdcp stripper on ebay.
get them while you still can.
Everything on eBay says it downconverts to 1080p. If I am missing one that doesn’t downconvert, I’m sorry.
However, that is what I’ve read about 4k captures: there aren’t strippers that remove hdcp while maintaining 4k.
I have a 4k Roku, elgato 4k60 and there are some 4k items on my YouTubeTV DVR that I want to archive in 4k60HDR before they expire off the online drive.
I need the specific splitter/workflow that will make this happen, if anyone knows one. My understanding has always been that the hdcp 2.2 did not allow cards like elgato 4k60 to recognize the hdr nor the 2160p resolution. If I am wrong, I’ll be thrilled to know how to get around this for archival purposes.
nvidia shield (or other source) + amazon 4k hdmi splitter into a 4k hdmi capture card.
And you’ve been able to get this to capture 4k hdr footage in 4k with hdr?
yes.
I did not know you could get around hdcp via this method.
nvidia shield (or other source) + amazon 4k hdmi splitter into a 4k hdmi capture card.
And you’ve been able to get this to capture 4k hdr footage in 4k with hdr?
It has been a year and I wanted to check in and see if anyone has found a way to archive 4k streams or video. Either via capture card or screen capture software.
I assume hdcp is still presenting a problem for 4k footage in either option.
I kind of feel this thread needs a mention fo RedFox’s new software, AnyStream. https://redfox.bz/anystream.html
Depending on what you’re trying to capture, it may make most of this obsolete.
That seems useful for non-live, 1080p content.
In my case, I’m in search of 4K capture ability.
On the amazon reviews, it appears the newer versions of "ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D no longer strips HDCP
Any alternate suggestions?
I just purchased this HDMI splitter after recommendations that is removes HDCP (purchased from amazon uk).

Arrived today and unfortunately , upon plugging my SKYQ box into the Hauppguage PVR2 through the splitter, it came up with the HDCP blank screen error. Went to the link to the official site above and downloaded the software package. Just plugged the HDMI splitter into my pc’s usb port (micro USB port in the splitter), installed the drivers, then used the software available in that package ( comes with easy video tutorial) to easily remove HDCP. Works a treat now and i can record 1080p from the SKYQ box. Haven’t been able to try to see if it works with 4k as i have no way of capturing 4K video.
I’m looking to capture 4k video from a Roku + I just purchased and has anyone found something that will strip or bypass the hdcp 2.2 while maintaining 4k hdr? Want to get an avermedia or elagato to record some live streamed 4k content that has hdcp but from everything I hear, it downcoverts it to 1080p when stripping the hdcp.
Watched it at 3am. It was slow in parts but I enjoyed it. The Mando and IG banter was fun. Probably best part of the show. He very clearly dislikes droids.
A bit concerned with some of the sfx. Some of the ships and carbo frozen characters floating looked worse than the PT.
TPM is the best PT film. If Jar Jar were portrayed differently (more Chewbacca, less child’s character), everything else would be fairly excusable and the film would be much more popular.
ROTS has terrible pacing. It seems to lurch forward with Anakin turning to the dark side, wanders off a bit, then comes back to it for no apparent reason. The final battle is fun though.
Attack of the Clones looks bad, has bad acting and the giant mystery in the film still makes no sense to me. Obi Wan and the idea of Dooku are the only good parts of the film.
The scene where Han meets Chewbacca was covered in crap. Literally. Or at least some aggressively unpleasant looking mud. The whole visual aesthetic seemed to be to cover everything with filth because … well … I guess because they could. And because that seems to be their current approach to reinvention. In essence, take a product, cover it with extraneous junk, then falsely call it something new.
The planet is literally a mudhole bc of all the rain. It is brought up numerous times. They are in an open hole in this place, while it is raining. The poor conditions are to show that Han was sent to one of the worst places he could go (a pointless battlefront full of slaughter that is just an awful place to be) and that the wookiee prisoner is being imprisoned in unliveable conditions and is being fed other prisoners.
Hope that helps.
As someone who has loved the previous 2 cartoons, I watched the episode “Triple Dark” and hoo boy, was it bad. It was worse than any of the Rebels filler episodes people complained about. The episode and lead character were paint-by-numbers kids show.
Hopefully that was the lowpoint of the series.
Got around to watching it again at home and there is so much more in this story I’d love to see grow and be followed up on.
Still a fun action film. Probably will watch this more than I rewatched either of the ST films or Rogue One.
That clip of JEJ sounded better than any recent Vader recordings
Furthermore, the ‘Skywalker Saga’ can only continue with a Skywalker. As we’ve been told in TLJ, there is only one still alive and I’m betting he doesn’t survive the next film.
Because non Jedi can use lightsabers too. Remember a guy called General Grievous?
That’s your first choice? Remember Han Solo?
Opening a ice creature (poorly) counts as a non-Jedi using a lightsaber?
We’re talking combat here.
Corellians, during the purge, will begin by slaughtering sunbathers on beach planets until their feeble blade skills improve.
People seem to think Rey’s journey is done and over with after TLJ, which is just absurd. The idea that Rey’s rejection of Kylo has more in common with Luke’s actions in ROTJ over ESB is just a silly reach for an argument that is on shaky ground. Rey conquered neither Snoke or Kylo (not even close).
No need to go further in depth than that, I’ve said it all before.
Not even close? With Snoke dead and all of Kylo’s training allowing him to almost equal Rey, who recovers from their battle long before him?
Rey was dead if not for Kylo. She had no way out. Even though Kylo claims that the girl killed Snoke, this is not actually true if you watch the whole film.
I’m not sure why recovering faster from a shockwave is indicative of ability, but okay.
Truly things look grim for our hero in the darkest chapter of this trilogy. How can she ever hope to defeat someone whom she always seems to beat and his army of tactical imbeciles led by a man so stupid that he fell for a prank phone call?
I am on the edge of my seat.
If you watch the films, she actually only beat him once, believe it or not, when he was severely injured. I could have sworn this has been explained before on this site but I could be wrong.
Actually, she shows that she is on equal footing with him in their final confrontation as well. He is not injured this time. They both reach for the Skywalker saber and reach a stalemate that explodes the hilt.
Healthy, she is his equal. Unless RJ was trying to show something else there.
I think surviving poison gas is just called holding your breath.
Give it a try and let us know how it works out.
What makes you think I haven’t?
Maybe I AM a Force user after all. Quick, meld with my mind and see if we can Awaken anything.
Also, there are a lot of things Lando can do in this film that are of importance and if this is truly the last film we are getting on this timeline, I am excited to see him back!
I really don’t see the point in bringing back Lando.
Because there was internet tantrums thrown after the last film,
There were internet tantrums thrown after all the Disney films.
I hate autocorrect. How do you autocorrect were to was?
Also, correct but this time it was louder.
I think surviving poison gas is just called holding your breath.
They even made a toy of the ROTS Falcon.
After getting lost repeatedly, Han’s first adjustment was pointing the dish in the direction he was going.
I really don’t see the point in bringing back Lando.
Because there was internet tantrums thrown after the last film, Disney got scared after Solo did poorly and they are going back to all new, all familiar.
I hope they all become Force users and the entire galaxy kills itself ala The Purge but with laser swords.
The End.
Rey isn’t a Jedi yet.
Which begs the question what does Rey miss, that would prevent her from being called a Jedi? She has pretty much all the skills. She defeated Kylo Ren, resisted Snoke, and rejected Kylo Ren’s offer. What else is left for her to do, outside of defeating Kylo Ren again?
Being a Jedi is about more than just having all the skillz (which there’s no indication she has anyway). She defeated Kylo in a moment of weakness for him (and the next time she tried to face him she never even got to ignite her saber). She did not resist Snoke. And rejecting a single offer towards the dark side doesn’t mean that you’ll never face temptation again. Luke rejected Vader’s offer in ESB, don’t forget.
Rey has mastered every skill that every Jedi in the first 6 films exhibited. She did most of this within 30 minutes of having the Force Awakened.
-Force pull
-Mind reading
-Manipulation
-Levitation of objects
-Seeing the Future
-Mastery of lightsaber
Other than Force push,Force Ghost and this new projection thing Luke did, I can’t think of anything we have seen a JEDI do before that she hasn’t done.
And it is ok if she ends up being the greatest force user of all time. It is ok if she does new and exciting things with the Force. But as a viewer, in my opinion, she has to have ‘earned it’ narratively somehow. Either through a forgotten past or some other yet unseen reasonable explanation. Otherwise, using the Force isn’t a practice, a focus or a skill. It is a super power. And Rey is essentially Shazaam learning what new things she can do because she said the words “The Force”.
Hardcore Legend said:
What evidence? It isn’t that she knew about Luke because he was a Jedi, it was that she knew the stories of the Rebel Alliance. She was just as much a fangirl of Han Solo. Can we deduce she knew how to fix/fly the Falcon bc she knew everything about Han Solo, back to front? If so, no wonder Owen never told Luke stories about his father. He’d have become the best star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior right there on the ground in the desert.She knew Luke skywalker and she knew about the Jedi. This exchange from TFA.
HAN There're a lot of rumors. Stories. The people who knew him the best think he went looking for the first Jedi temple. REY The Jedi were real? HAN I used to wonder that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo -- magical power holding together good, evil, the dark side and the light. (BEAT) 'Crazy thing is, it's true. The Force, the Jedi, all of it. It's all true.So it’s implied that Rey has heard these crazy stories too. Which we can safely assume would include Jedi using Mind tricks. In her world the Jedi are a myth, magical wizards who can move rocks and fuck with peoples minds.
But I never said thats How she could do the mind trick. She was able to do the mind trick because she gained that knowlege thorugh that Kylo mind meld. How does that work? The same way throwing a child into the deep end teaches them how to swim. You could say THE FORCE AWAKENED in her.
Rey knows how to fly because shes been around ships all her life, she knows the falcon because Unkar Putt owns it and shes probably been in it many times. In Star Wars, knowing how to fly is basically knowing how to drive.
Wait, are we saying Rey now gains her power in the Force through the linking of minds with Kylo? I just made that up in my previous post. Is there any explanation of that in the films or any other materials?
This ST might have been better served if when Snoke revealed he had linked Kylo and Rey’s minds, he also revealed that HE had been the one using the Force through Rey and all the things she had done in her escape in TFA were him manipulating her mind to embarrass his pupil (Kylo) and to draw out Skywalker. Then her fear that she was “nobody” and she had no part in this story was true. Kylo still kills Snoke but Rey, now broken much like Luke was at the end of ESB, must actually learn to use the Force to defeat Kylo.
Instead, she’s done everything she’s wanted to in the Force within 5 minutes of trying it the first time…without anyone prompting her on how to do it.
And we are assuming she’s heard enough stories about the Jedi on the desert planet she lives on with no parents, mentors or guardians to have taught herself to be a Jedi without even knowing it.
I just find it hard to believe no one in the story group or the LFL team working on the films told Rian if he’s going to go the route of her being a nobody with no ties to the PT/OT, you’re going to have to explain some of this on-screen or in EU.
