I recently took a look into PC bluray play back and the situation is horrible. The compatibility issues are all over the place because you need specific CPUs to make it all work if you want that 4k HDR on PC due to DRM problems. And the janky thing is, it's not even about having the latest CPU. The only compatible CPUs for something like PowerDVD Ultra 21 are: Intel 7th generation and until Intel 10th. Intel's 11th gen? Nope, not compatible. AMD CPUs? Nope not compatible. Like you can play blurays but not at 4k HDR. It's fucked. Obviously you can always go the not so good method and that will work but downloading 100GB+ Bluray movies? Good Luck. And that is why I like my PS5/Series X. They play Blurays without any fuss. It just works as they say... |
That's true. I haven't really used mine to playback Blurays but the simplicity and plug and play of consoles are one really good things about them. Where you don't have to worry about software and hardware compatibilities and just want to put on something to watch. Crazy to think that in this age there's still stuff thats incompatible with CPU's. I'm tempted to get a external Bluray drive for my PC because MPC-HC is pretty darn great with upscaling content but hearing things like that is kinda outputting lol.

Yep I suspect this would be the case. Nvidia are aiming to release around October supposedly so it makes sense to push these out in volume.
