    Current external UHD/Blu-Ray Drives for making MKV's

    Hello, I am looking for an external UHD/Blu-Ray drive that has been confirmed to work on a Mac. I have been reading a few threads on the MakeMKV site and also some reviews from Amazon. I would rather not have to flash a drive, as I know the Pioneer drives are supposed to work out of the box...

    New Mac mini with Samsung UHD vs 4K

    Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new Mac mini and pairing it via HDMI with a Samsung 43" UHD (2018) TV for our family room TV. I haven't bought anything yet. Because the Mac mini native resolution is 4096x2160 while the Samsung UHD is 3840x2160, I'm worried that the Mac will have to downscale...

    VUDU and Disney. UHD heaven!

    It’s the only way to get Disney owned films in 4K, if available. Most of you may know this already but just in case, I mention it. If you want all the MCU films, Pixar, and Star Wars as they become available, and any other Disney property, VUDU is the only way to get full tilt 4K experience on...

    iMac 2017 HDMI port and UHD tv?

    I want to hook up a UHD tv to my 2017 iMac 27”. Do I need a wretched dongle to get UHD output? For 60 hz? For 30? I have an old Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI adaptor, but nothing for USB 3. I’m hoping to avoid #donglelife

    1080p Blu-ray isn’t dead

    This week I upgraded from PS3 to PS4 blow and popped in a Blu-ray movie this morning. The image quality jump is huge! Colours are more vivid, grain reduced and overall clarity is better. While the image is a touch softer if you sit very close, it’s not far from 4K Movies on iTunes. Oblivion in...

    Streaming 4K Files to the Apple TV

    Hi All, Is it possible to play a 4K Movie file on the Apple TV? Can you do this by adding 4K mp4s to iTunes, and stream it the conventional way in full quality? If not, can you use some other service like PLEX? Thanks all, Chris

    Shouldn't my Mac play this video ?

    Jellyfish 140mbps 4K UHD h264 My 2017 MacBook Pro 13" TB (base stock configuration) can't play this smoothly in VLC. The first 15 seconds are choppy and then it becomes smooth but the VLC CPU usage is 300+%. Hardware support for h264 should be good enough already. Is the bitrate too high here...
