Hey guys, at this point I have my entire collection ripped to ISOs using AnyDVDHD. I wanted the discs gone out of my theater, and I wanted my player tucked away in my rack with all the other components. I like selecting the title on the screen and it playing like a disc, but I'm willing to abandon ISO if there is another file type out there that retains the HD video and audio quality of the disc. I don't care about the menus or trailers, just the film and retaining the same quality as the disc.

So with that said, what do you use, and any software I need in addition to AnyDVDHD? Should I just continue to stick with ISO until I'm forced to upgrade my firmware?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions!

Hey Craig,

I don't care about menus at all, and I'm not too worried about subtitles (except for certain movies)... Is ISO the only way to go for 3D, or will MKV work, too?

Thx,
SC

There is no working 3D frame-packed standard for files yet. The only way to get a 1:1 copy of a 3D BD is with ISO at this time.

This is especially frustrating because Oppo can't play ISO over lan, and there is no other media player that can yet do 3D ISO properly. DUNE says there 3D ISO player will be available Q1 next year, but they have a long tradition of missing release dates by 9-12 months or more.

What about Different Region BD's how does it handle that?

DVDFab can be set to remove region code. This is actually the default setting; region free.

My only knock on DVDFab is that historically it's been much buggier than AnyDVD. But for me it has worked very well for the pat year+.

Yeah, the industry came down on OPPO and forced them to take out BD ISO playback.

Yep, unlike Sony removing other OS support and Apple removing Google Maps in iOS 6. It is wonderful being a consumer and getting a portion of what you paid for taken away from you post sale.

Yep Oppo is not to blame. The same people that forced Oppo to remove the option created this cluster f*ck. DOT or Digital Only Token and ICT or image constrain token coming soon at your local home theater.

Now their using the media itself to turn off features you paid for on your player..... Crying or Very sad
