Best Players for movies with Cinevia

[tommyboy714]

Hey tommyboy714,

Not meaning to give you a hard time, but the term "best" has too many variables, not the least of which is the "viewer's" opinion of how it looks and on what.

Having said that, my personal favorite for BDs is the mkv.h264.audiocopy profile.
I generally maintain a kbps of about 15,000.
This gives me great video for action flicks with no discernible difference between the mkv and the uncompressed BD folder or BD .ISO when viewed on my 42" HDTV

It also essentially doubles my hd storage or even a bit more
The mkv files are ~ 1/2 of the original size.

True Grit went from ~27 GB (main movie) to ~12 GB while preserving HD audio.

I haven't found anything that my AIOS won't play.
I've had it for over a year now and just bought one for my daughter for Christmas

HTH

maineman can you tell me how to do this step by step please

I had that very question -what is the difference between dvd fab's blu-ray copy and rip?

You need Blu-ray Copy to break the movie's encryption and copy it to your hard drive and/or burn it to a blank disc.

You need Blu-ray Ripper to rip that copied Blu-ray movie that is already on your hard drive to something like MKV, MP4 or some other portable format that is compatible with a mobile device, tablet or a media player.

what do you mean by side by side?

Side-by-side(SBS) is a 3D format that splits the screen with almost identical frames. The 3D TV will then take the 2 frames and overlay them as one on the TV resulting in the 3D image. Major movie releases use a different format other than SBS for Blu-ray discs. Either format looks great on a 3D TV an I cannot tell the difference. I have an Argosy media player and it will play SBS(side-by-side) but I have not been successful playing 3D by just copying a disc and putting it on the media player. I read somewhere that the player needs at least a Realtek 1186 processor for this purpose but I am not sure. The Argosy has a Realtek 1185 and I believe the Pivos has the same processor. I have been looking at the Micca EP950 which uses the Realtek 1186 but it sells for $169.95. Maybe somebody on this forum has used the Micca.

Iv read that it will play side by side but i have never tried i dont watch 3d

Same thing, different terminology... unless you're speaking specifically about DVDFab's Blu-ray Ripper as opposed to Blu-ray Copy.
