    Star Wars 4K HDR

    I notice Disney + has all the Star Wars movies in 4K HDR- does anyone know when we might see these movies available on the K store? I imagine Disney wants to keep them exclusive to Disney + for some time, but surely, the K store is a relatively smaller audience so I wonder if there's a...

    1080P/60 with film sources observation/ question

    Usually I would advise to watch film based material in its native 24fps. But the other day I had the occasion to see a movie played back via a Premiere player at 1080P/60. Given that 24 does not smoothly go into 60- I was expecting the result to be very uneven motion. Indeed, I have seen...

    Premiere -> Encore Home Movie Import Question

    Right now when I have home movies I can burn them to BR and import them to my Premiere system. As I understand it, if I upgrade to Encore the ability to import commercial disks goes away. Does that also apply to home movies? If so, can anyone (Mike? :) ) speak to some kind of work around for...

    Question re: Playback Authorization Required

    Situaiton Last night I went to play a scene from Star Wars Force Awakens and it was dimmed out in my movie list. When I tried to play the movie the system stated what's in the thread title. I went to the K Store help which told me: So I restarted my player but to no avail. Then I restarted...

    4K Projector suggestions

    Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on 4K projectors. I am sure there is a wealth of knowledge around the internet but before I jump into all of it, I think we are a fairly knowledgable group of people and I have stepped away from the hobby for a few years so I am wondering whats...

    Our decoding prayers have been answered! I found a solution to get high res LPCM over HDMI out of our K Players

    The Cambridge Audio CXU. https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/cx/cxu Its a BR player but Cambridge bills it as a multimedia hub and even as a preamp- as it can do volume control- even digital volume control. But most important for us, it has 2 HDMI inputs. I have long thought the best...

    B&W PM1 speakers- highly recommended

    FYI- I know its easy to recommend B&W but I still want to let you all know these speakers are just amazing. I just installed a pair in my den/ library- in a 2.0 system. These speakers might seem expensive at ~$2800 but in fact they are bargain. They could charge 2-3x the price and they would...

    KStore Suggestion: Pre Orders

    It would be great to have a list of movies coming to the K store in the next few weeks/ months which could be selected for pre order. They would just download when the release date arrives. :)

    A **possible** solution to our HDMI decoding dilemma

    For those who need to get the high res DD True HD and DTS Master Audio into LPCM over HDMI, I have looked at this Cambridge Audio BR player. Model 752. It has an HDMI input and according to its documentation it seems it will decode the high res audio from an input and pass it along over HDMI...

    I have two recommendations: 1- An iOS/ Android App for the store. 2- Option to purchase new drives via the store.

    Prometheus BR

    Imported via the IDV (M700) and in my movie list it shows the movie as dimmed out. Selecting it reveals "Return, Play Scene, Forget Scene, Add to Collection" but no way to play the movie. I checked that I imported the movie disc and not any extras disc. I don't believe the copy I have has an...

    Dune-HD

    http://dune-hd.com/index.php?do=players Ive had experience with these. Very rudimentary interface compared to K but they work well. A little tricky to setup but anyone who knows computer networking shouldn't have too much difficulty.

    Apple TV

    How about Apple TV? Ive been playing with it for a little while now and I think its pretty good! The interface is great and the quality out of the 1080P is not up to K Scape BR playback standards but for renting some lighter fare, its really more than fine.

    Longish Delays for movie start/ menu navigation

    I have 3 3U servers with 1705 movies and 1283 albums. Somewhere in the past few months Ive noticed that the system response has slowed down. I don't know whats causing it. Sometimes the menus will work slowly and sometimes they work quickly. Likewise to begin a movie, sometimes it takes what...

    No Bothans died to tell you this- Star Wars BR info

    It appears that our upset over "Greedo shooting first" has been for naught because in yet another change, it is reported (below), that George Lucas has redone the scene so both Greedo and Han fire simultaneously, thus restoring the latter's "scoundrel" status; which as you know he has to have...

    Low drive space warning

    Just thinking it might be nice if we could have a user customizable warning that would alert us when capacity is down to a certain level- maybe rather than doing it in GB to do it in how many BR or DVD or CD you have space for- eg- you have space for 10 more BR, its a good time to consider...

    XMen First Class German translation subtitles

    Im fairly sure the scenes where the characters speak German there is supposed to be subtitles that come on automatically to translate- for me at least this isn't happening right now. This was an issue I had with Avatar when they were speaking Naavi. I now know the Naavi translation was that...

    MDV Inventory Reset

    Long story short, one of my MDVs basically lost count of which discs were in what slots. So when I asked it to eject all of the 100 discs in it, it only ejected 98. Tom Barnett was kind enough to point out that you can force your MDV to redo its inventory by the following command...
