.srt file has the same name as the movie video file? And are they in the root directory or in subfolders? My Vu TV can play the video with subtitles only with .srt file in root directory with same film name spelt ditto with no space differences or character differences.
It worked. Video filename and srt filename has to be same. Also they are in same directory. Thanks!
Hi,
It really depends on what the 1080p content is, what the encoding is and what bitrate it is. For example, Mirzapur season 2 on prime video is in 4K, but the video quality is horrendous with a green cast in dark scenes, low bitrate blocking artefacts and so on. On the other hand, the Expanse Season 4 on prime video looks sublime with a very similar bitrate at 4k.
Back to the future series recently was remastered in 4k and it looks stunning on my 65u79
the problem with remux is nothing but the sheer size of the files itself
The reason BTTF was able to be remastered was because they used film to store the video instead of tape. 35mm film even in those days could store resolution somewhere between 1440p and 4k, though you'll find conflicting evidence on either side depending on how much you count the grain for. If they shot it on tape, it would be the shitty 480p/576p of NTSC/PAL and could never be remastered.
So these settings are global, as in for all sources? I will try these settings soon.
How do you play these files? do you have a dedicated HTPC connected to the TV?
I use Plex to play these files over network. My PC is in another room and acts as a server.
Just change password for the 2.4G band to an incorrect one
.You're welcome
Hi, u tried psarips?? Lord of the rings remastered 4k movie REMUX is like 100+GB!!! But PSA provides them in around 8GB. Also many 4k hdr encoded by them r around 5gb!! I think they r great at encoding in smallest size. But they encode only major releases and some other as per donor requests i guess
We are going into dangerous territory(and against forum rules) here. Please limit the 'where do you pirate from' discussion to private chats. But generally, a 5GB file will be too low bitrate for a 4k movie. While 100 GB files are definitely overkill, 20-30ish GB encodes look almost as good. The 5-10 GB encodes can look good if you have a very good upscaler like MadVR.
When you go to picture settings, you'll find that on top it asks whether to apply to all sources. If you select that, it will apply to all sources with that mode selected. So if you changed the 'Standard' mode, standard mode for all sources will be changed to this. All you have to do now is to set your other sources to standard.
Sure, this is a long weekend. Ping me anytime on Fri-Sun and I'll help you out
First thanks for all those information you are sharing. One question, may be out of thread topic, what will be the difference when streaming in plex than connecting your pc directly. In other words will plex streaming will be as same as direct pc in terms of picture quality?I use Plex to play these files over network. My PC is in another room and acts as a server.
Plex is really nice. You get a Netflix like interface for your local library.

I play these files over home network via an app called PLEX on my Firestick 4K
There is no difference in quality because the file itself is streamed. In this case, the transfer medium is your local network instead of HDMI.
Well obviously to shoot in 35/70mm film, you need to have a full-frame or bigger camera. The point is that Indian cinematographers don't care about this stuff despite their movies still making a lot of money. Tape on the other hand required much lower-end hardware.
you mean Prasads IMAX n hyderabad? not anymore they also shifted to digital
Well, that's just perfect! On top of this, most screens only show movies in 3D, which halve the resolution and brightness further.
