giantpotato Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The choice between true freedom vs capitalized freedom just an fyi: I'm mostly referring to the ads and marketing not so much the difference between buying and downloading This doesn't really make sense, since it's possible to buy and download from legitimate services and have no ads/trailers. It's really the choice between do I want to compensate the people who created a movie I enjoyed, or do I want to be cheap and greedy and enjoy someones creation without compensating them.

htcz Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Load DVD, press "Go to Menu". This means your DVD player is not fully compliant with the standards set in DVD Forum's DVD Books and/or DVD+RW Alliance specifications. If it is, (most of) the trailers cannot be skipped. I've never owned a movie that had unskippable trailers, nor that many FBI warnings. If there ever was a case of hyperbole, this is it. THX logo on The Matrix :unsure:. Looks like someone is just trying to spread FUD to justify their piracy. I pop in my Matrix Blu-ray and it goes straight to the movie. Same thing. Your Blu-ray player is simply not fully compliant with the standards set in Blu-ray Disc Association. Most likely, both your players support 99% of the features in the standard but some may be missing. For example, the ability to NOT upgrade to the latest profile. If I had the choice between some crappy re-encoded movie, or a Blu-Ray with nice packaging, 1080p video encoded from a master, 7.1 audio, full 3D, director's commentary, extras, DVD and Digital Copy, I'll take the latter. You can choose to download the "crappy" ( :laugh:) reencode or the entire untouched Blu-ray disc with its full content, in its original retail format. Another thing if if you dont know to how search for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiddle Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just because piracy is more convenient, doesn't make it right. While I agree, convenience and efficiency is something I am compulsive about. If Hollywood didn't charge $20 a movie, I'd be more inclined to purchase more. If a movie is really good, I may pick it up, to support it. The more that is digital, clean, and takes less clutter, I am more inclined to gear towards. If they could make a good service like Netflix, or just join Netflix they would get my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, (most of) the trailers cannot be skipped. Sure. It has a convenience feature that breaks the spec. Everything else works as it should so nobody really cares wether or not it is "fully complaint". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thats why I rip any movie I buy onto my Hard Drive, thank god the UK has finally legalized it.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted September 30, 2011 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just because piracy is more convenient, doesn't make it right. No, but on the other hand, companies shouldn't put in disincentives for people trying to do the right thing. It's a bizarre world where we "punish" the innocent.

Congrats on not understanding what untouched means. The person I originally replied to said you can get 'untouched' versions. Blu-Rays are 50GB and typically come with a second disc with extras. That amounts to 100GB. Until I can download a movie with all the extras , in the best quality available, without having to worry about my bandwidth cap,I'll be sticking with the superior quality of Blu-ray.

Everything else works as it should so nobody really cares wether or not it is "fully complaint". Everything should work as it should, I have no doubts in that. But, since it does not apply itself to the spec, it might not. Hmm, go to the store, or wait hours/days to download the 100GB 'untouched' version, and use up my entire months download cap. Yeah, tough decision. :unsure: Blu-ray Disc (official abbreviation BD) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the DVD format. The disc diameter is 120 mm and disc thickness 1.2 mm plastic optical disc, the same size as DVDs and CDs. Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB (23.31 GiB) per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the norm for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL Blu-ray re-writer drives. Currently movie production companies have not utilized the triple or quadruple layer discs; most consumer owned Blu-ray players will not be able to read the additional layers, while newer Blu-ray players may require a firmware update to play the triple and quadruple sized discs. So you have one (read: 1) film that is on one Blu-ray disc that is 100GB? What I mean by untouch is the following: A disk image is a single file or storage device containing the complete contents and structure representing a data storage medium or device, such as a hard drive, tape drive, floppy disk, CD/DVD/BD, or USB flash drive, although an image of an optical disc may be referred to as an optical disc image. A disk image is usually created by creating a complete sector-by-sector copy of the source medium and thereby perfectly replicating the structure and contents of a storage device. Congrats on not understanding what untouched means. The person I originally replied to said you can get 'untouched' versions. Blu-Rays are 50GB and typically come with a second disc with extras. I really doubt there is currently ANY film (film alone) that occuipies the 50GB. Hmm, go to the store, or wait hours/days to download the 100GB 'untouched' version, and use up my entire months download cap. Yeah, tough decision. :unsure: I like that you suppose that everyone has a download cap and therefore, everyone else is like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that you suppose that everyone has a download cap and therefore, everyone else is like you. That is quite the contradiction there. Either you have a complete disc image of ~50GB, or you have the film alone. These two things are mutually exclusive. I never said anything about 'film alone'. I watch every single piece of extra video that is on a Blu-Ray disc, and teh Extras disc. Truth is, downloads are an inferior product. You either have to lose content or download a crapload of data. I have Battlestar Galactica on Blu-Ray, that's 20 discs x 50GB. You are ****ing kidding me if you think I'm ever going to download 1TB of data to get all that content instead of spending a little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
