blueray is 1080 I think? I think they need some other format for 4K video? edit: yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray

the fact that 4K isn't completely uncommon and the physical media is basically a non-starter kind of shows how well physical media is doing

graph posted:can plex play bluray rips? when you rip it, it's into mkv as the container, which holds either VC1 or H.264 (AVC) video and who knows what audio (AAC? or any various digital surround thing DTX, Dolby, whatever) so the files are movietitle.mkv and the device itself unpacks and decodes it. Infuse for ATV is what I use and it's great. SENSUAL DAD KISS posted:no and it rips to some weird video_ts folder structure nonsense no it doesnt graph posted:is bluray 4K or is it something else can be, 4K is a new updated format, that uses blu-ray media to contain a brand new packaging on the disc, with encryption that hasn't really been broken yet widely so getting rips is effort intensive. Standard bluray is 1080p, 4k bluray is 2160p, using the same physical media but totally different bits on the disc. my poo poo is 100% 1080p blu ray.

if you want to watch a 4K movie on Plex you gotta run the server on a modern i5 cpu cause all those premade nas boxes have celerons.

graph posted:isnt dvd also 1080? wtf is the point of bluray again dvd is from 1995, it doesn't do anything close to 1080p because that would set anything that could fit in a set top player on fire to decode lancemantis posted:DVD is 720 you don't seem to be able to count. the maximum resolution storable is 720x480, typically used with anamorphic stretching to get a widescreen picture with better horizontal resolution than if it used strictly 640x480 square pixels. that's not 720p its 480

while we're talking dead formats there were VHS-type tapes that recorded japanese HiVision analog hd available in the 90s, for that format's 1035i picture. and from 1998 there was D-VHS which used S-VHS grade tapes to store minimally compressed digital video at 1080p and 720p - tapes held up to 50 GB of data to ft this.

As was hinted at by them resuming development of the separate Google Voice app (after previously merging Voice into Hangouts and trying to get everyone to switch), google is apparently planning on shutting down Hangouts.

2019 is your last year to use Google Hangouts if you haven’t moved on alreadyquote:According to source familiar with the product’s internal roadmap, Google Hangouts for consumers will be shutting down sometime in 2020. That’s not surprising at all since Google essentially ceased development on the app more than a year ago. But just know, going into 2019, this is indeed your last year to keep using the beloved (?) legacy chat app. https://9to5google.com/2018/11/30/google-hangouts-shutting-down/

Sniep posted:DVD is ED (Enhanced Definion), or "slightly above SD when SD means 480i as in television, and DVD is 480p" counting the lines of resolution misses the point for dvd all dvd content, no matter the resolution, is stored at 720x480. but it is played back in the correct aspect ratio. so your effective resolution for a movie might be 1128x480 for a 2.35:1 picture but an old timey ntsc tv can only show apporoximately 640x480. and the really truly usable area is more like 600x400. so your dvd playback would get shrunk down from 1128x480 to 600x250 or so this is why dvd looked so much better as soon as you bought an hdtv
