    NB: Shaving Ryan’s Private is not a war movie

      I'm so disappointed in humanity now I know that's a real thing.

    Schindler's List in 4k is worth an infinite amount of $ IMO. Greatest movie ever.

      Greatest movie ever.

      It has some gross inaccuracies (i.e. Amon Goeth's house didn't overlook the Plaszow camp), but whatever floats your boat.

        Yes, both of them.

        • AlexF on 11/04/2019 - 18:49

          If we’re counting black and white as colours, then Black & White films are actually greyscale. So, 256 colours rendered by 8 bits, or 1024 colours rendered by 10 bits.

  • altomic on 10/04/2019 - 22:47

    in the meantime you can watch hundreds of movies for free from SBS on demand

    • jv on 10/04/2019 - 22:48

      Orgazmo

      Joe Young is a naive young Mormon, serving his mission in LA and needing money to marry his girlfriend. This leads him to a pr0n film set

      Yep, that's SBS…

      Is it in 4K though?

        Orgazmo is a classic made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

      SBS on demand is the LOWEST of the low in terms of quality and app. It’s absolutely disgusting quality.

        iView is also terrible quality.

      • et tu brute on 23/04/2019 - 18:50

        Perfect on both my Nvidia Shield (Android TV)and DMR-BWT955GL, using native apps and set at highest bit-rate for streaming.

        Plus, the ad breaks appear occasionally at the beginning, and never crash unlike Plus7, 9Now and TenPlay

        ABC iView also as good, except I can't switch off closed captions on live TV.

      There's more than one, but then again, no sh*t.

      It's a movie about the Normandy Landings and specifically the landings at the most heavily defended beach sector on D-Day, so it goes without saying that they weren't using harsh language to secure the beachhead.

    • Twisty on 11/04/2019 - 11:00

      I do have Saving Private Ryan on DVD and Blu-ray

      Is it worth the purchase on iTunes ?

      • quarrymaster on 11/04/2019 - 11:25

        Yes.

        I’ve never watched it, but why should I feel annoyed alone I keep throwing money at the studios for the same content over and over? LOL

        But no doubt the convenience factor is great.

    • SporadicUser on 11/04/2019 - 14:08

      I remember loving The Patriot back in the day, American Revolution setting with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger. Wasn't expecting much but was a solid action flick. Rewatched Dunkirk last week, was superb.

  • JMxoxo on 11/04/2019 - 12:01

    Is a 4K Apple TV worth it? I just recently got a Sony 4k oled hdr tv and want to experience good 4k content, especially Dolby Vision

    • skittlebrau on 11/04/2019 - 12:28

      Even if you don't live in the 'Apple ecosystem' it's still a great streaming device overall. While the NVIDIA Shield is more flexible (I've owned both), I prefer Apple TV 4K more as an 'all in one' box with official support for all Australian catch-up TV apps (important for the wife) and for its great interface, integration with iOS devices and its great 'match content' feature for synching frame rate + colour space perfectly for judder-free playback.

      I mostly use Infuse (paid app) to integrate with my home Plex server, rather than use the official Plex app as it's a little behind in playback capability, especially for HDR. Another downside is that Apple TV 4K only supports Dolby Atmos for certain apps and I'm not sure when, if ever, Infuse or MrMC (Kodi fork) will be able to make use of it.

      If you prefer Android TV, then NVIDIA Shield is still the best device out there for that platform. It has some long-standing upscaling issues (1080p -> 4K) still, but at least it can do auto colour space switching (switching from SDR <-> HDR) in some apps now.

      If you only want straight up Kodi and nothing else, then an Android box like the Vero4K+, Minix U9 or DIY AMLogic S905D-based Android box is best.

        I have my PC connected direct to my TV via HDMI 2 cable from its desk and can play 4k HDR (1080ti) just it is very finnicky at times with the settings and it is the last thing I want to stuff around with when wanting to watch a movie. I realised as well that my HDD reads too slow for smooth 4k playback of.. backed up.. files, so I have to put them on my SSD. I used to use Plex, but, once they went to paid for a lot of stuff I dropped out of using it.

        And yes, colour space switching is a pain too with PC.

        I have used Kodi prior and it was decent, I might try a cheaper option and utilize my back up DVDs better than forking out $250 and money here and there for a digital copy. My internet speeds vary too much for consistent 4k HDR content

        I appreciate the well written reply though, thank you

          You're welcome.

          You're right about HTPCs being a pain if you have an HDR-capable 4K TV. It's nowhere near as simple as it used to be when SDR 1080p was the pinnacle of video, during the time I used an HTPC for several years.

          HDR in Windows is still broken. It's really quite frustrating that a $1000+ HTPC can't smoothly do SDR<->HDR switching whereas a $50 AMLogic box can do it better and with less tinkering. The only real reason to have an HTPC these days is for MadVR playback, gaming, mass storage (if you don't have a separate NAS) or for combined server duties.

    • ozblocd on 11/04/2019 - 12:53

      If you want the best experience then get a 4K player and 4K discs.

      • T1OOO on 11/04/2019 - 13:52

        agreed, the bit rate is where its all at

        • skittlebrau on 14/04/2019 - 13:23

          I do both, although I don't own a 4K disc player :)

          I buy 4K UHD Blu-ray, rip them to my NAS with MakeMKV (no additional compression) and then use Infuse or Plex to play them. The only downside with my ATV4K is that I lose Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, although HDR10 and the usual lossless audio tracks work fine, albeit decoded as PCM in Infuse which is functionally identical. I don't think there's any way to play dual-layer Dolby Vision in either M2TS or MP4 format yet on any streaming device (Apple TV, Android TV, Linux or Windows), although I've heard that the now discontinued Oppo UDP-203 and similar models can play them.

        I wish the PS4 pro was a 4K player. One major downside to it

  • bangabargain on 11/04/2019 - 14:01

    Anyone that has experience with it, using an Apple TV, do you have to stream the 4k movie each time, or does it download to apple tv? I've got sub-par internet, so it wouldn't work if I had to stream each time.

    • Twisty on 11/04/2019 - 17:26

      It downloads in 1080p to your computer but if you want to watch in 4k it only streams from what I’ve been told.

      I think they should allow you to download the 4k version if you wish

      • bangabargain on 11/04/2019 - 20:06

        Agreed, that straight out stops me from purchasing. Ah well.

        • Twisty on 11/04/2019 - 20:51

          4k download would be big tho seeing the 1080p is 7gb on SPRyan I think

      • deadpoet on 16/04/2019 - 14:57

        Yup. It should be noted that it will only stream in 4K if you have a sufficiently fast connection (I think it was a minimum of 25Mbps broadband?). Otherwise you'll only ever see the 1080p version, like me.

        Also, because of the streaming requirement, you can watch 4K iTunes movies only on Apple TV 4K — you'll get a max of 1080p if you watch on your Mac/PC/iPad/iPhone.

        • Twisty on 16/04/2019 - 15:43

          Was going to get saving private Ryan but I have it on DVD & Blu-ray already. Is the iTunes version better apart from being portable

          • deadpoet on 16/04/2019 - 15:46

            @Twisty: The iTunes versions are generally a bit worse than Blu-ray due to the lower bitrate. I have a huge iTunes library because I'm going digital/streaming-only, but if you already own the Blu-ray I don't see any point in buying it again on iTunes unless you want the added convenience of being able to stream it.

            • Twisty on 16/04/2019 - 16:35

              @deadpoet: Think I might skip it then, was hoping it was remastered or something
