Recently, Frank Azor -one of the bigwigs at AMD- pointed out that the
vast bulk of PC gamers (and even more with consoles) still play in HD
resolutions rather than $K or higher. Close to 60% of gamers on Steam
still have 1080p monitors. Many of the most-played games don't even
use the added RAM necessary for HD. As such, Azor says, AMD's primary
focus won't be on catering to the UHD/4K gamer, but to the larger
market where 4-8GB VRAM are sufficient.

I feel the same about TV/Streaming/Movies and such.  HD is just fine,
I'm not shelling out for the overpriced 4K TVs and re-buying all my
DVDs/Blu-Rays for 4K discs.  Most people can't even see a difference
between HD and 4K.
>
Hell I don't even buy Blu-Ray if DVD is an option - I literally see no
difference between them, so 4K Ultra was never in consideration.
>
Maybe if I had one of those huge-ass TVs I'd see a difference, but the
39" I have, you see none.
>
Same, I prefer DVD just bc it is a massive hassle to set up the Bluray
decryption stuff on a machine, and I literally couldn't care less about
the quality increase.
>
Ahh I don't bother, I just play both disc types in a combo dvd/blueray
player that is hooked to the TV.
>
I dislike the menus in blueray, cause they stay open for several seconds
after you unpause, blocking the screen, dvd menus vanish instantly.

Any discs I get are immediately ripped to HDD and then shoved in the
closet with the other ten-million DVDs. I have no time for searching
for the disks, fiddling with the player to open its door, putting the
disk in, waiting for it to spin up, being forced to watch the
inevitable logos and "you wouldn't steal a car" bullshit, navigating
menus, watching more trailers and then realizing I didn't want to
actually watch THIS movie but the other one, so I have to repeat the
whole process.
>
Rip once, double-click movie file, watch. That's the life.

Maybe I'll do that eventually, but it's a bit of a hassle, since some of
the movies are on blue-ray and I don't think either computer players
support anything but cd/dvd.

That and it would have to be done on the older and slower machine with
the faster internal dvd players, vs the fast new system with an external
and therefore slow-as-hell dvd player.

Plus I'll need to buy a new 5TB external HD to stick them all on, and
money is kinda tight right now, what with the new meds.

New tech is gonna have to wait - blew that budget on the new monitor I

Ouch, and sympathies.

As for ripping discs, I have been using MakeMKV for years.
https://www.makemkv.com/download/  No player should be needed to rip the
discs and I've found VLC Media Player handles the files just fine.  All
this on a Win10 machine that doesn't have the hardware to go to Win11
(which I have no intention to ever willingly "upgrade" to.)
 
Been using VLC for ages.    I dislike .mkv as a format - not supported
by various dvd players, like some won't read .avi - every one supports
.mp4 though so that's the format I use for most stuff.
 
The point of the external HD is I have a 2TB one and it plugs into the
USB jack on the dvd/blue-ray player just dandy.
That USB jack won't take a USB stick over 32GB, but accesses a 2TB HD
just fine, which means I can watch recorded TV shows and ripped stuff on
the 39" TV instead of a 27" monitor and use a more comfortable chair.
 
Or indeed spin the stand 90 degrees and watch from bed.
 
There are a number of MKV to MP4 converters out there.  *shrug*  But I
do find it strange that your player will read a 2TB HD but not a smaller
USB stick.
>
I'm guessing it's some formatting thing - I bought a 1TB USB stick then
found the player could not read it.  A quick google showed that it could
only read up to 32GB on a stick.
>
Larger sticks default to EX-FAT instead of FAT32, when it is possible to
format them as FAT32. They come that way, and Microsoft's format program
won't even give you the option of FAT32 at larger sizes.

Any partition edit program or 3rd party formatter, however, will let you
do this.

I bet it's EX-FAT.
