@Basil : I agree with Carlos, I do not use DVD/Blu-ray disks any longer. I'm pretty sure the movie you want to play is available on the network. Well, that was not my exact meaning :-)
I meant that why buy a blueray that has no benefit to me, when I can instead buy a dvd that has a wonderful visual quality, more than my hardware can handle. Which is a fair comment.And this is something which you should mention when responding to posts. But there are those who don't have a 32-bit system nor have dial-up access to broadband - I say this just as examples and which it is not intended to reflect on your possible situation. One has to take those people into consideration, right? I never proposed to download those movies.
I wasn't suggesting that that is what you stated.
Yes, you can download them "for free .-)", and it is even legal in my country. With firm court sentences supporting this, not just some kiddie speech. But nowhere at blueray quality. DVD, yes, if you find them. Usually worse resolution, good enough for TV serials and 20" displays. Watching 2001? Nay.
But I was not proposing that. I simply said that DVDs are good enough for most people, certainly for me. Far easier to use, no DRM crap. I wish they made them cheaper, though.
As I said, a fair enough comment. Horses for courses. Whatever makes you happy. I am not against this. But being able to view the same movie which is on a DVD and which is also on a Blu-ray disc is like cheese and chalk. Or like having a glass of grappa just off the still yesterday and a 25-year old single-malt Glenfiddich whisky :-) .
