![]() ![]() Next, you need to decide if you want to place your films on a hard drive. An OWC Mercury Pro enclosure with an LG WH16NS40 Blu-ray drive is an excellent choice. There are three elements needed to successfully negotiate Blu-ray on a Mac. The other item, please make sure you own* the discs you intend to archive. The two popular models are listed over there and also the correct firmware. Last 2 items - blu ray and blu ray uhd (4k) discs are not that different but different enough that only specific blu ray reader or read/write units will work with them for use with MKV. Alternatively the "forced subtitle" might be listed as its own subtitle and separate. The latter is just a subset of en entire English subtitle and is often referred to as the "forced subtitle" as you wont play the entire subtitle but just this subset. The subtitle could be for a film that is entirely in another language and I want English subtitles or - the film is in English yet a small portion will be in another language. I usually just have the movie with best audio, the video and if need be a subtitle. I have many blu ray movies that I archive. Some people make an MKV file of the movie and some prefer to back up the entire movie with all of its goodies and use software that can read it all. I believe there is a way with that software and possibly VLC to watch it without creating any file (I recall that from awhile ago though never tried it). MKV can operate in a few ways - I really suggest you venture over to that site and check the forums. Some may experience the clucking of the external drive noise., but once the blu-ray plays the movie, the clucking should go away.Ĭan't always get "free" software, so pay once and enjoy playing your blu-rays for years to come! The advantage at times over ripping and streaming is sometimes blu-rays audio is better and also not having to hassle with internet, providers, locating where the files are etc., but just pop in the disk and hit play on your software. discs are still ok, it is really just personal preference. blu-rays look great on the iMac, especially with the nice retina type screen. VLC is Good software if you want to figure out all of the ins -and-outs though.but Not a need. If you do not mind having physical discs to deal with, don't hassle with VLC and other ripping software, that is more of a "bag of hurt" at times figuring out how to make it work. Most external blu-ray players will work with macs now, just read first to make sure whatever is compatible. ![]() Play's well, just the disadvantage is that you have to install Java to have controls. Issues might have to do with making sure your external blu-ray player is compatible. Leowo blu-ray player (paid version) will convert blu-ray to a file and I have not personally had any issues with it. So many things it could do, but looked like a simple software on the surface. For apps that are now Universal, you need to indicate under requirements that they are universal, because there are users that may want to run native-ARM apps, if available (and if you own an ARM mac, why wouldn't you want to run native apps if available?)."bag of hurt" to Jobs was because he didn't want to pay the license fees for the technology like he charged himself.especially his desire for the itunes store, future streaming ambitions., and his war at the time with Sony. Maybe that means separate MU pages for each platform in the case of VLC, or you need to host both versions and offer the user a choice which file when downloading. So come up with a system to handle this new world we live in, every day that goes by it only will get more confusing. VLC is the first app I've seen that comes as separate installers, but logical to think more will come, for whatever reason a Universal app is not available (technical reasons, licensing, size of the executable, who knows). There a many Universal apps now, but if you look at the MAc Update page for them, there is no indication that they are Universal and requirements still say Intel-64. As I"ve been telling MU for several months you need to come up with a system/policy for how to document and catalog Universal and/or ARM only apps. The download you are hosting currently as of this date is the ARM version. VLC is now available in separate Intel and ARM (Apple Silicon) versions, with DIFFERENT versioning schemes.
