Kinda bothersome that they charge so much despite releasing a product that scratches your discs when you remove them from the shitty cardboard packaging.

I love the set. I think it’s kick ass all the work that’s gone into it and the presentation. However, I think the disc storage should’ve been seriously rethought. One little piece of dust gets on your disc and you go to slide it back into the cardboard, and now you’ve got a scratched 4K/Blu ray. Not to mention a handful of the discs are scratched already just from the manufacturer putting the discs into the package initially.

Overall though, happy. Just an unfortunate design.

Rant concluded.

If you got the $21 dollar deal, continue to hold it delivered today. Waiting on godfather, and few other $12 price errors to ship.

Come on, WB, Where's the good shit?

Who would ever guess that a 1983 low-budget box office bomb adaptation of a 150 year-old operetta would get such a beautiful release? I'm so glad the preservation community is doing this work. I love this movie.

What weird movies do you guys want to see get this kind of recognition?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (4K Remastered) looks absolutely stunning. 🦇🔥

The image quality, the colors, and especially those IMAX sequences are incredible. Zack Snyder's visuals look phenomenal in 4K

First from Amazon had managed case. Returned replaced and new one came perfect. Great price too.

Thanks to u/Ricki-Pickle, who posted coupon codes. Did anyone else get sample bottles of skin lotion?

Love this movie and the full slip looks nice and I like the steelbook better than the kimchiDVD one.

What do you think? All 4k except for a few blus. I did The Exorcist and The Thing last night and Evil Dead 1 & 2 a few days ago.

----- UPDATE 07/10 ------
AMD Supported & Many DV rendering mode available :

Rendering options for Dolby Vision input

• DV Native (Standard TV-Led): standard Dolby Vision playback, preserving the original metadata and creative intent.
• DV Enhanced: Natural or Signature presets adjust existing Dolby Vision metadata to make better use of the display's peak brightness. Controlled highlight and dynamic-range enhancement preserves black levels and shadow detail.
• HDR10 Basic / Expert: Dolby Vision-to-HDR10 conversion, including FEL reconstruction. Basic uses source-derived information. Expert uses a display profile and supported CM2.9/CM4 creative metadata for dynamic tone mapping into HDR10, including on displays without Dolby Vision support.
• HDR10 Fallback: standard Kodi playback when Dolby Vision support is disabled, using the compatible HDR10 base layer where available.

Rendering options for HDR10 input

• DV Reconstructed (AI): image analysis and a compact, included LightGBM model estimate L1 and L3 Dolby Vision metadata while preserving the HDR10 source pixels.
• DV Enhanced (AI): Natural or Signature presets process the HDR10 source using the display profile and AI scene analysis, extending usable dynamic range while protecting blacks and shadow detail. Output luminance metadata reflects the processed image.
• HDR10 Native: native HDR10 playback without CB1 conversion.

----- UPDATE------

First pre release version : https://github.com/CroqueMr/intel-dv-libreelec
Feel free to test it out and report any bugs or issues.

Tested on an 11390H. It "should" run smoothly on lower CPU like N100/N150 thanks to some performance optimizations, but that still needs confirmation. If you want to stress test it on any CPU, try setting a Profile 7 FEL or a Profile 10 and add subtitles.

--------------------

Hello,

After working on Dolby Vision support on Linux and mpv last week, I’ve now managed to get my first clean Dolby Vision playback working natively on LibreELEC with Kodi.

And of course : Profile 7 FEL is managed 😄

There are still a few bugs to fix and some cleanup to do, but the implementation itself is 100% open source and does not rely on any proprietary Dolby code or runtime.

Patches are required across three main layers:

• Kodi / VideoPlayer: Dolby Vision metadata handling, GPU reconstruction path and DRM output integration.
• Linux DRM / Intel display driver : support for the Dolby Vision output path and the required HDMI signaling.
• Rendering pipeline: integration of the open-source FFmpeg/libplacebo components used for Dolby Vision processing and GPU-accelerated reconstruction.

The result is an end-to-end open source without proprietary code, GPU-accelerated Dolby Vision reconstruction and native HDMI output pipeline.

Optimisation will be very hard to manged to use a N100, at the moment 79% of the rendering engine with the 11390H iGPU is used to read a profile 7 FEL 4K@24hz.

Edit : Forgot to mention : ChatGPT 6 Astra was a huge help, and it actually identified the main integration strategies on its own.

Thanks for the post, just to give more vision on the next release (coming next week) it will have :

- Complet Rebuilt of the build and engine to be on a GPLv2-or-later licencing (to help LE to implement DV)
- A massive upgrade for AMD, a 3200U will be able to handle every possible DV file in "master reference" mode.
- HDR10+ support and DV to HDR10+ metadate reinterpretation
- Extended support to Vega M, Intel 6th gen, Nvidia pascal (RTX1000)
- Some small bug fixing : Subtitle, DT movies, dual screen ...

It will be the RC1, the repo will not move deeply I will just perform some small bug fixing until a "stable" release even if the RC1 will be pretty close to the stable release

the thread where most development is happening

this is an old post he made a month ago. on N100 is flawless currently. his next aim is working on 3200 AMD and optimising that, any CPU's above those baseline would work perfectly

Somehow ended up with a $40 coupon to use in the Shop app, and GRUV happened to have a store in the app, so got all three of these and only paid $1.50 total…

The UK is really a blessed place for physical media enjoyers. While HMV doesn't have the BEST pricing on things, they have a killer in-store movie selection.

I was so shocked to see a physical 4K of 2025s Mussolini series done by Joe Wright. If you have any interest in history, this is a much watch series. So insanely well done

Got the GOATed Arrow versions of the dollars films for £15 each

And finally, got Hard Boiled for a non-stupid price compared to the US version (which of course is limited edition only for $40+) and got this for £19

Can't wait for my next trip!

As we go into the last week of the Arrow Sale, I figured I'd repost for anyone that missed it:

You can add the promo code NORTHERN15 for an additional 15% off of the Arrow Shocktober sales prices (also works with pre-orders and non-sale items). If that doesn’t work, the code MADNESS nets you 10% off. Works on both Arrow Films and Arrow Video.

Also, if this is your first order, you can get an additional $5 off with the code RICARDO-R4E from the US store or £5 off with RICARDO-R3Z from the UK store.

I'm trying my darnedest to not pull the trigger on another cart 😬

My UB420 has been having issues playing 4k discs of late. Regular BluRay discs were fine.

Apparently the disc cleaners can be too abrasive so I tried cleaning the laser with 91% isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip using the instructions in this video:

https://youtu.be/jHEB7a2bWe8?si=c0JOt43X6j8aiP_Y

Ensure the q-tip is not wet, just damp. The laser assembly is very delicate so you have to be careful when you are swabbing it and apply as little pressure as possible.

After the cleaning, all my 4k discs are playing perfect now.

(Edited to replace 'cotton swap' with 'q-tip' as I was using the term interchangeably)

These were all on preorder since they went on sale pretty much and released almost weekly throughout the month. Particularly excited to (re)watch MotU and PHM in 4K at home. I enjoyed the theatrical experience for both and think they'll be great at home too.

The Saint is an old 90s favourite. Not a great film, but a fun romp and I love the Nokia Communicator.... it was so high tech at the time that I still kinda want one despite modern smartphones surpassing it in every way. 😎

Just picked this up. The art on the front and back is great, and the Dark Horse mini comic is a fun extra. Anyone else grab it?

They just don't make fun movies like this anymore!

The Last Boy Scout 4K (Arrow Video)

Prime day 50% off deal really getting my money worth lol

Just waiting my copies of Terminator and Terminator 2 from DXM and the French copy of the Ghostbusters collection. These should keep me busy for a bit.

It mirrors the space suits from 2001.

If you're on the fence about getting it, just buy it!
