The USB would include ICtCp Dolby Vision content.

Hmmm,

Why not go with a clear case with 3 or 4 disk hubs, and the BD logo ?
Even a 4k disk is still a BD. Forget the black or blue cases.

ps: some of us hate digi's, as I feel the hard plastic hubs are too prone to breaking, esp. during shipping.

no matter, at the content creator level the dynamic range beat goes on , e.g. just yesterday content creators in L.A. 'ACQUAINTed themselves with the new tools and techniques for realizing their vision in both HDR and SDR a process that begins on set and continues into post...'.

You’re welcome.

Given some of the contracted work for your upcoming Ultra HD Blu-ray disc, if you haven’t read it already, you might also be interested in this recent interview with Ian about GLOW…..

I assume it's dead on 60, but not being able to rip the disc and do a Mediainfo on its ass means I don't know for sure.

Anyone seen Last Tycoon in HDR on Amazon Prime? It's hard to put into words just how amazing the picture quality is. I could talk about how the colors pop, the razor sharp image, the depth, the unreal contrast, etc., but it still wouldn't do it justice. Those who aren't Prime members can still watch the first episode for free. Highly recommended.

I haven't, but I have seen American gods on prime and that was equally amazing. The story line partially involves a car crash seen (very explicit btw) and the picture quality is amazing. The sparks flying show what HDR can do.

Check it out. I would rate Last Tycoon ahead of several 4K blu ray discs in terms of PQ, and I rarely do that, as I generally prefer physical media.

You still riding? I just bought a S1000XR for the daily commute and other fun.

You could just say "that's wrong" instead

Occasionally….not using my own though as I sold my last motorcycle some time ago. My ridin friends each have several bikes (which is really not that uncommon among the dedicated, some wives would say ‘nuts’) and they are kind enough to offer me a loaner whenever I feel ‘the need’.

Nevertheless even without my personal mount, I’m still prepared for the occasional 2-wheeled motorcycle adventure as I’ve kept all my modern riding gear, heck, not just modern but even the vintage helmets, Barbour ISDT wax jacket, etc. from thee old days – for the sake of personal memorabilia.

I’ll never sell any of that stuff. In retrospect , I wish I’d kept all the motorcycles I’ve owned over the years, but just not practical as they literally would have filled a 2-car garage.

Too boring a reply for me. When I can, I try to put a little more effort into responding especially to my friends . Heck, you and Steed are the only two posting members I know of offhand who share similar passions (football and movies) with me. Like with Kris (motorcycles and movies) and PaulGo (democracy/rule of law and movies).

[Geoff D]

More to the point: what frame rate IS Billy Lynn's on UHD then? And I did say I don't know for sure...

[Penton-Man]

Geoff, I recall several pages ago on the Dolby thread you got a real kick out of qualifications I linked for an internship with Scott D. at Dolby Labs. On a lesser scientifically demanding note, I think it would be fabulous if we ever saw a Blu-ray.com forum member participate in this internship because I believe some of the younger members here still in college have the passion and talent to do so….
