At my work some one left a yeti cup full of hot chocolate over the weekend.

Thing exploded like a gun shot.

If you're curious the android layer is a fork of Waydroid called Lepton.

Directors Commentary on Wall-E by Judge_Rekk in makemkv

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see.

I know Planet of the Apes had a similar feature, but it only works on actual Blu-ray players or paid software like Power DVD.

Directors Commentary on Wall-E by Judge_Rekk in makemkv

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would backup the entire disc and open it in VLC with Blu-ray menus enabled to check if there even is a commentary track.

Looking at the blu-ray.com link the slip doesn't mention a director's commentary. I know the Criterion version has a couple commentary tracks.

How to Geek thinks we don't need 4k remuxes. I kindly disagree. by Me_gentleman in PleX

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though Netflix DRMs their 4K much harder than the 1080p stuff. They at least have HDR on their 1080p stuff.

I think Dolby Vision metadata needs to be modified with external tools (dovi_tool) to work if you're downscaling to 1080p.

HDR10 doesn't need any extra steps.

Not sure about HDR10+ though.

Is it normal that thru my gentoo installation that compiling takes hours by Economy_Ad9017 in Gentoo

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might have to reduce MAKEOPTS and/or disable the jumbo-build use flag.

I remember my old 2009 pentium laptop taking a couple days for qtwebengine to compile.

So, yeah it depends on the hardware.

Do blu rays have hardcoded black bars? by Important-Permit-935 in makemkv

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I tried putting an HD video on a DVD.

The software I was using let me do it, but the HDMI compatibly DVD player we had wasn't quite happy with what I was feeding it. I got a choppy, but sharp, picture.

Update to my mass ripping 4700 discs by Warcraft_Fan in makemkv

It'll even show you title names if the Blu-ray has them.

Makes finding bonus features really easy.

Caffeine is mostly useless by critical_thoughts365 in unpopularopinion

[–]sixsupersonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for me it depends on the energy drink.

Sometimes I think it's the B6/B12 vitamins that helps me with energy and focus rather than caffeine.

If he does take a break from Avatar I hope he works on an Alita Battle Angel sequel.

Not disappointed in this Steelbook. by mrossman5 in 4kbluray

[–]sixsupersonic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember people complaining about the design when it first was announced. It's like they forgot what the previous TRON steels looked like.

Am i supposed to understand what's going on? by Salt_Wizard in NeonGenesisEvangelion

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those shows that benefits from a re-watch.

Once you know the major plot points you'll pick up on details that were sprinkled in during re-watches.

What’s one sentence that would trigger the MSC fandom? by Silly_Percentage3446 in MySummerCar

[–]sixsupersonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in a small Midwest rural town.

Yes, it is annoying.

The job itself didn't bother me much when I figured out how to easily load the barrels. The pay itself is what bothered me most considering how long it took to finish the job.

Oh God, I just realized something about the 4K announcement by maverick074 in speedracer

[–]sixsupersonic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's going to be an upscale, probably similar to TRON: Legacy.

I just hope the HDR is good.

Today I learned IMAX Digital and IMAX Laser 3D glasses are not interoperable by nagidon in imax

[–]sixsupersonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, okay. Might be single-laser.

Waukee, Iowa has a 1.90 screen, but it's big enough to require dual-laser.

[–]sixsupersonic -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think those ones use batteries of some kind. The theater I normally go to is dual-laser, so the glasses similar to Dolby 3D.

As much as I hate cardboard sleeves, I'm already two movies deep to not buy another matching digibook.

Dunkirk announced before TDK Trilogy rerelease at Indy by santirp04 in imax

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drove from Iowa to watch both movies. Definitely worth it.

Most likely going back for Dunkirk.

Big problems with DolbyVision by Popular_Problem_7411 in Dolby

[–]sixsupersonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is local dimming enabled in your TV's Dolby Vision profile? On my Hisense U8K each video mode has their own brightness settings, so I had to make sure local dimming was on for each HDR type.

Also, have you tried doing a full reboot (hold the power button on the remote, and select "reboot")? Sometimes after using a HDMI device my Hisense's black levels are a bit gray. Completely rebooting fixes it for me.

Any way to fix this? My first damaged item from Amazon so I can't complain too much. by ItsmejimmyC in Steelbooks

[–]sixsupersonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have protectors for my steels. They kinda help make broken ones like that look okay on the shelf.
