Real men rip bluray and then encode them to H264 But thanks.

 

This only work if you activate it while the offer is running, it will not work afterwards

John.

 

rip it and keep it as is ! damn HDD get cheaper already.

 

The latest version of VLC (2.0) can play blu-rays.

 

30GB+ movies add up super fast, 100 movies = 3000GB

I'll stick with H264, same quality as the original, 1/10th the size.

 

QuickSync FTW!

 

I was gonna say: "umm... VLC?"

well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. some detail is removed. i'll accept "perceptually similar". if you use high quality x264 settings, you can get a really awesome result in exchange for a long transcode. I prefer to keep my movies around 8 GB average. Almost all of them land somewhere between 4 and 12 GB. QuickSync (and the Nvidia / AMD solutions) aren't good enough for me.

The smaller file size also grants you better compatibility with hardware (sometimes really huge files ~30GB have playback or buffer problems and you can get dropped frames - the smaller transcoded files don't have that type of problem in my experience. The fact that you can put your x264 stream into an mp4 or mkv file means you can have compatibility with mainstream software and hardware, which is really nice.

 

Doesn't it still need the paid codec?

 

I don't know, when I made a custom linux iso last night, and downloaded vlc, it downloaded a package "libbluray1". Also the medibuntu repository has libdvdcss2 and 4 for encrypted discs.
At Videolan's webpage it says that it can play blurays. If you have a bluray drive, I'd say give it a try.

 

I don't think so, but I could image it might rely on some libraries that are in the restricted-extras packages if you're using ubuntu. Same situation with DVD playback, though.

 

Just tried it and no go.

There is a library you can download, but it would error out shortly after the movie starts.

 

which platform?
