![]() ![]() It's just having to support windows and another machine that's the real price. The upgrade to a master license is really cheap. Or build an HTPC based on Windows and play the files there. ![]() Organized perfectly as you have instructed MC to do.and when video support is more up to your standards, you can play the same file, only better with an improved video engine. Any DVD or BD that you rip today (at full quality) will still be sitting there in your Library, waiting to be played any time. The only good news here for you is that video support for Mac is getting better incrementally. It's unfortunate as Theater view is a neat feature and we aren't likely to see it any time soon on the Mac side. The other features like Theater view are definitely not anything that can be argued: The windows version has them and the Mac version doesn't. So perhaps it's mainly the video scaling that the Oppo can do so that video looks better? I don't currently run MC for Mac into an external display (or TV), so this is an area I don't have any experience with. Is it just the video quality difference you see? Or do you really mean that the audio playback is better on the Oppo too? Surely you just mistyped that since you said that MC's audio playback is some of the best you've heard. Blurays are about 5x the size, so it adds about $1 to the overall cost. It adds 20 cents to the cost of any DVD I buy. Sure, the files are larger, but I'm willing to live with the tradeoff because disk space is so cheap now.Īt current prices for external USB drives a typical 6GB rip of a DVD costs around $0.20 in disk space consumed. So now I just use MakeMKV instead, as it retains ALL of the original video quality, yet removes the encryption in the process. Plus handbrake goes crazy on the CPU for the entire rip. After youve added the video, go to ' Home Videos ,' and youll be able to see it. To add the converted movie, select the ' File ' option and select ' Add File to Library. There are probably settings that can be used to minimize the video degradation, but I had real trouble finding any agreement on what settings produced video quality equivalent to the original DVD. Firstly, convert MKV to iTunes on Mac/PC. It's worth noting that Handbrake necessarily removes information when you use it. ![]() It's why I still buy inexpensive DVDs: They are cheaper than downloads and then I have the physical copy of the movie and I can extract the unencrypted contents to play on ANYTHING. ![]()
