Don’t suppose there was a similar report about the strength of Russia’s army before we found out the reality of it in Ukraine?

They used to not be that way. I have 5 devices (couple connects, amps and plays) that I’ve kept on S1. Haven’t gotten any new features, but never lost any in their whole S2 debacle. Going 10+ years strong.

Honestly my money is kind of on the US starting the next one.

Edited title to reflect the question is about countries, the groups that actually control the militaries, vs demographic groups.

I remember Walmart tried to go into Germany and failed because they didnt understand the culture there. Greeters turned most people off for example.

 

Title basically says it all. Would it depend if it was the US, Russia or China starting it?

I’ve honestly never used it for playback but since it can rip 4K at 2x-4x playback speed I would assume it’d be just fine. The issue is the system you build would have to have a card that can output Atmos bitstreams as well as HDR.

As for ripping performance I’m over 500 DVD, BD, 4K and it’s doing great. You do have to give it 30 minutes between 4K discs to cool down.

Sadly no. He packed it up about 6 months ago. However if you can get your hands on an ASUS BW-16D1HT, you can flash the firmware yourself. I could have done that but he was offering it for a negligible difference and it was just quicker to do that method.

I bought a modified BD drive from a person who was flashing libredrive supported firmware and then got a registered copy of MakeMKV.

It’s been stupid simple for me to rip any BD or 4K disc that I can get my hands on. If you choose the “backup” option it spits it out to a folder structure which then use mkisofs to create an iso of things.

Honestly my biggest problem is constantly running out of hard drive space because I want to keep the original, uncompressed isos. What’s nice though is once i have the iso I can pop it back into MakeMKV and just extract what I want. I can then run that through Handbrake and compress to my exact specifications.

Can someone please tell me what his official government position that warrants his comment or the validity of it?

Frankly I’ve always thought the concept of military bases on foreign soil was creepy at best. And it’s hilarious how many people welcome it and the. Freak out when Saudi Arabia is looking at a base in the US. Now you know how it feels.

I mean if you’re talking about Beethoven or Bach I don’t think they’ll be creating anything new.
