After months of waiting and several delays, I finally received the 4K Blu-ray of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The set and transfer are absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend for fans of the film and movie lovers in general.

I’m still keeping the original Blu-ray disc because it has PCM audio.

But the UHD has that same mix (and the 1968 six-track mix) in lossless DTS-HD, so there’s no difference…? 🤔

PCM is uncompressed (bitrate really high) and DTS-HD MA is lossless. Yeah the UHD and the Blu-ray disc with it are better.

Recently watched all 67 current episodes of Game of Thrones. Need extensive spoiler tags.

As mentioned in the Game of Thrones thread, I received the Season 1-7 UK Blu-ray disc boxset as an awesome Christmas present. Hadn’t watched any episode at all beforehand, watched all episodes from the discs, currently waiting for Season 8 (Final) this April and the spin-off series.

No idea if I want to play the GoT Telltale game. I’m not a fan of the company and I guess it’s set before Season Six.

Now I’m watching Humans Series 3 and then Westworld Season 2. Both on Blu-ray disc but borrowed from a friend.

Have on Blu-ray disco this show, all 7 seasons from the UK in the cool boxset as a Christmas present. Have never watched this before, decided to watch the episodes first and then the bonus features. Watched all the episodes of course. Wondering why the set has both the DOLBY ATMOS and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 options when only ATMOS is the one chosen in the menu and remote? Yeah, I chose the DOLBY ATMOS option, of course.

Waiting for Season 8 this April and the eventual Blu-ray disco release. Even trying to figure out a way to get the content from the exclusive bonus Blu-ray discs from all 7 seasons. Is it Preservation if it’s exlusive content? I could list what it is for each season, maybe.

One of my new favourite shows and glad I waited for more show to watch as per the boxset.

That’s not a helpful answer. I’m not going to buy a multi region bluray player just because there’s region B locked bluray out there. I just wanted to know if there is a way I can decrypt the file I described so that I can make an .mp4 or .mov file out of it.

It still is on Blu-ray disc which you mentioned in your original post it isn’t.

How do I convert my iTunes download of the movie “The Ghost and The Darkness” to an .mp4 or .mov so that I can watch it from a thumb drive or a data disc any time I want to thru my bluray player? This movie is not on bluray and has never been released in 16x9 and yet I have an HD copy of it that I paid for from itunes. I guess I need to decrypt it or something… Thanks!

This movie is on Blu-ray disc.
