I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.
So now I’m here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.
Also, I pay for 4k streaming but because of compression or something else they are definitely not sending me 4k content. I was watching a movie on Netflix that I had forgot I pirated. Both were 4K but the quality of the pirated one was far superior.
Youtube has that too where it says 1080p but actually it’s potato quality.
I’ve noticed a new resolution setting: 1080p Premium HD Enhanced Bitrate.
So yeah, 1080p confirmed potato. Upgrade to new potatoless 1080p now!
I think I’ll just upgrade to sailing the high seas rather than paying these clowns
Really depends on the service. I find 4K streaming from Apple and Disney are “close enough” to my Blu-rays I can’t tell the difference unless I stick my nose up to the TV. Now, Max? Hulu? YouTube? All “4k” garbage is so low bitrate I need to take my glasses off to enjoy it
Close to your 4k blu rays? Because regular blu ray discs they play on regular blu ray players don’t do 4k.
If you’re comparing to regular blu rays, you’re not comparing to 4k.
Edit: what a strange reaction to this comment… I imagine the average American would not know that they need a different DVD player for 4k DVDs.
Was just trying to be helpful by clarifying. Guess I’ll just go fuck myself.
Edit 2: is it really that hard to understand my point? Dude said that his 4k streaming looks way better than blu ray. No specification of 4k blu ray, so I just wanted to clarify for those reading the thread, that yes, 4k streaming will look better than a regular blu ray 100% of the time. No shit.
Maybe instead of being a dick with your responses, you could have just clarified your original comment to be clear that you were comparing apples to apples (4k stream to 4k blu ray). It would have taken two characters added to your original comment (“4k”), yet instead you chose to be an asshole.
And no, it’s not obvious to a lot of people.
I’m obviously talking about 4K Blurays, why would I compare 1080p that makes no sense.
Yes, which was the point of my comment. A significant number of people have no fucking idea that they need a different DVD player to watch their 4k DVD in 4k.
I literally cannot figure out what you are trying to say here. Why are we talking about average americans and DVDs now?
First commenter mentioned their 4K Blu-ray rip was dramatically higher quality than what was offered on a streaming service.
I said that some streaming services offer bitrates comparable to their (4k) bluray physical release. Other services have bitrates so poor they look like shit.
You came in clarifying what type of Blu-ray I was talking about, and dvds and average americans. I think you’re the one off topic here. I don’t even own a physical bluray player - I have remuxs that I stream to an Apple TV. I’m guessing most on this sub have a similar setup with a shield or something.
You just weren’t clear in your original comment. It was mostly for other people who may have been reading the thread to clarify that when you say your streaming is as good or better than their “Blu rays” (no specification that they were 4k), that you’re comparing apples to apples. That you weren’t just telling people that your 4k streaming is better than their 1080p Blu rays (again, no specification there and I know tons of people aren’t aware there is a difference), because no shit it is.
I’m not sure why that set you off so much, but I think you need to take it down a notch.
Go back and read the edit I just made to the original comment since it was so confusing to you.

Yea its easy yo gorget that DVD is 480p SD and Bluray is only 1080p
Louis Rossmann made a video about it noday I think. They (apparently) don’t serve 4k in browsers, only if you use their propietary apps and allow to send them all your data

Definitely worth a watch.

Where do you watch it from? You need to use the app on Windows to get 4k content, they don’t provide it when watching through the website. Same for Disney and Prime… It made me switch to just using the apps directly on my TV instead…
Netflix is terrible but Disney+ 4k with HDR looks decent.
I’ve noticed this, too, with both video and audio. It’s ridiculous.
