    What is the real reason K does not always have the current 3D Audio Track?

    They never lied because they never said anything about it, show me when K explained themselves to anyone? Tom one time mentioned there was an issue with a track and they removed it, he never said they didn't get it or didn't pay for it. People in this forum might say things but they do not...

    What is the real reason K does not always have the current 3D Audio Track?

    Again, you blame the studio for the lack of immersive sound on K titles. Those studios do provide 3D Audio to Apple and Google and since there is only ONE digital release for everyone, your reasoning does not make sense.

    What is the real reason K does not always have the current 3D Audio Track?

    I don't think it matters what the reason is, K is not known for being transparent. if other digital platforms have it and K does not they messed up, the reason does not matter. I haven't seen any recent titles with this issue at least in the last few months to be completely honest, this used to...

    Store Pricing Feedback & Debate

    We can keep going, the moderator can split it if they think it is necessary. I think the AVG bitrate on K is 60, not 90, but one thing to remember is that the streaming services use a proprietary compression and they are not bound by the limitation 264 has. For example, the max bitrate on K is...

    The formula is simple, here it is - Bitrate = file size / (number of minutes * .0075) K filesize has audio, and other stuff in it, and also this formula gives you AVG bitrate, everyone uses VBR anyhow so you can't really know much about what is going on there. Ask yourself why K is not...

    Store Pricing Feedback & Debate

    I tend to agree with some caveats. If you want early access you go to the theater. Releases are available on K and the streaming services at the same time so there is no advantage on this for anyone. Streaming on a DV display with OLED has better video quality compared to the claimed high...

    Store Pricing Feedback & Debate

    K set their own pricing structure, they want to make money like any other company. Up until 6 months ago I always saw a 5$ upcharge over iTunes and Google but now we are at a 15$ upcharge and maybe in the future it will be higher. My problem is that K keep raising their prices without providing...

    Yes, that is a common mistake, blame it on the studio and everyone repeats the same mistake. That is how the internet works.

    Store Pricing Feedback & Debate

    If what you are saying is correct everyone should always watch first at the movie theater since that is the way the director/studio intended, big screen, etc... K is lesser than the theater, and streaming is lesser than K. I disagree, of course, you should watch a movie where you enjoy it the...

    that is not true, if that was true Google, Apple and K would have to sell at the same price.

    Store Pricing Feedback & Debate

    You are spot on, we watched DC League of Super-Pets yesterday, 40$ of K, 25$ on iTunes. I decided to check iTunes since this is animated and sound is not a top priority for this title, Atmos vs Atmos. The iTunes presentation was terrific, I loved it and saved some money. Will definitely do this...

    Mobile App version 1.8 - Digital Offers

    it looks like there is plenty of real estate not being used in the app to fit in additional small icons: move the price to the right and you should have plenty of space. If i could see Atmos on all i would click buy them all and done, but now i need to go and click on each to figure that out

    Mobile App version 1.8 - Digital Offers

    Awesome, thanks! can you also add the audio icon (Atmos, DTS:x) next to the UHD/HDR icon like the website does it? The audio is important for me to decide if to buy or not so I still need to do this on the website.

    Compact Terra bus

    So far yes, the issue with the C is it doesn't work with jumbo frames well so in my case I had to buy a dedicated switch and create a new network around K that does now allow jumbo frames, as of now the problem is resolved and K informed me they do not have a plan to fix this issue anytime soon...

    US BR & 4K Releases for May & June 2022

    I saw the interview with him about the movie and the 4:3 ratio, he explained that he intended the movie to be played on a huge IMAX screen and not a home screen, your eyes would not stay fixed on a huge IMAX screen no matter the ratio. “My intent was to have the movie, the entire film, play in a...

    Movie Updates

    I would suggest adding the ability to automate those and let the customers choose, I would opt-in for auto-updates in this case.

    I applied the update it wasn't automated. Yup, I also would like to know what changed.
