See A 3D Blu-ray movie on Samsung Galaxy via Gear VR

Samsung, one of the giants in the industry, is always surprising you with his gratifying products. In the past year, he made you experience brilliant immersive viewing through the matching of Note 4 and Gear VR. Although it needs an extra conversion process for watching 3D Blu-ray movies on Note 4 by Gear VR, it still appeals to amounts of fans. This year, Samsung surprises you again in the same way - Samsung Galaxy S6 / Galaxy S6 Edge. 

 

As you see, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge show a radical redesign into the flagship Galaxy S line, with lovely looks. Both of the two smartphone models possess a 3840x2160 Quad HD display and internal storage starting at 32 GB, which are good for storing and playing movies. So if you have any one of these, you would must want to make full use of the device to watching Blu-ray movies for HD enjoyment experience, especially 3D Blu-ray movies by Gear VR. Then the problem comes that Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge friendly video format just includes MP4, H.264, WMV, etc. Therefore, if you wish to watch 3D Blu-ray movies on Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge through Gear VR, you need to convert 3D Blu-ray to 3D MP4 / MKV first. 

Before you get the conversion process started, you should prepare: 

1. MicroSD Card with enough memory space. 
2. Blu-ray disc drive to load your Blu-ray movies onto your computer. If you have already copied your Blu-ray into a folder beforehand, the drive would be redundant. 
3. An user-friendly 3D Blu-ray to Galaxy S6/S6 Edge Converter- Pavtube ByteCopy. It can transform 3D Blu-ray to 3D MP4/MKV for streaming on Galaxy S6/S6 Edge easily for green hands.

The R-Rated ‘Daredevil’ Movie That Never Happened

This weekend Marvel fans across the world were able to binge watch and enjoy all of Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix. It was another solid season of Marvel television, and, with the introductions of Punisher and Elektra, an impressive step forward for the show as a whole. But, it almost never happened. Back in 2012, 20th Century Fox was scrambling to get a feature film version of Daredevil into production before the rights reverted back to Marvel. Though Marvel did get the rights back, Fox almost moved forward on a film that could’ve done for The Man Without Fear what Deadpool did for The Merc With a Mouth. 

Fox was up against a ticking clock. Part of their deal with Marvel — which includes the rights to Daredevil and characters in the X-Men and Fantastic Four universes — stipulates that the properties must be in some sort of active development or else they revert back to their rightsholder. In other words, Fox couldn’t horde the rights to Fantastic Four in perpetuity, they’d have to at least put forth a good faith effort to develop a film otherwise Marvel would get the characters back. Fox and Marvel don’t have the best of relationships (remember when Marvel canceled all Fantastic Four comics to spite the movie?) so the studio didn’t want to have to give Daredevil back to Marvel, though they had no idea what do with the character. 

It had been almost 10 years since the Ben Affleck film and time was not kind to that version of the film. Neither were the film’s stars. Affleck told Entertainment Weekly, “Daredevil didn’t work, at all…If I wanted to go viral, I would be less polite.” TheElektra spinoff was released in 2005 (to even more derision than the Daredevil movie) and the property sat dormant at Fox for about seven years. The studio knew that Marvel was about to reclaim the character unless they moved quickly. So they moved quickly. 

Director Joe Carnahan had just had a hit for Fox with his remake of the classic 80s TV series The A-Team and followed it up with the sleeper hit The Grey, starring Liam Neeson punching wolves. The studio sent Carnahan their existing script for the film, which he was not a fan of and instead pitched his own take on the material. A hard-R action film set in the 70s. 

I suggested a trilogy as follows. ‘Daredevil ‘73’ ‘Daredevil ‘79’ and ‘Daredevil ‘85’ where I was going to do a kind of ‘cultural libretto’ and make the music of those eras a kind of thematic arc . So the first one would be Classic Rock, the second one would be Punk Rock and the third film would be ‘New Wave.’ 

Carnahan would later say that Guardians of the Galaxy’s use of classic rock was very similar to what he wanted to do with his Daredevil movie. To help convince Fox to give him the time and money to properly develop his script, he even pulled the Deadpool-esque task of creating an NC-17 style sizzle reel that “leaked” on the web. 

While a graphic proof of concept video almost single-handedly helped get Deadpool made, it couldn’t help Carnahan’sDaredevil movie. Fox attempted to negotiate with Marvel for an extension on the deadline (offering up both Galactus and Silver Surfer in exchange for more time), but Marvel wouldn’t budge and rejected the proposal. It was mid-August and Fox would have had to put the film into production by October 10 of that year. Time was just not on their side. 

The rights to Daredevil ultimately reverted back to Marvel Studios, who had first right of refusal on the character. It’s interesting to note that Kevin Feige also opted to pass on making a Daredevil movie (or introducing him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe), and the rights went to Marvel Television, who announced their production deal with Netflix just one year later. 

When asked if he would be interested in returning to participate in the TV series, Carhanan declined saying, “I just wanna experience it. And I think that will be enough of a reward. 

What’s interesting is that now, post-Deadpool, Fox would probably have no problem greenlighting an R-rated Daredevil movie with a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque soundtrack. Unfortunately, it was just the wrong project at the wrong time at the wrong place. It would’ve been interesting to see what came out of it, but without it, we’d likely have none of the Marvel shows on Netflix, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. And maybe it’s just better off this way.

Turn your Apple TV into the ultimate media player with Infuse

Turn your Apple TV into the ultimate media player with Infuse 



With video-on-demand services such as Netflix, Stan and Presto and all the major free-to-air networks now offering a catch-up TV service, it has never been easier to view the latest blockbuster movie or binge watch your favourite TV show. 



However, Australian internet service providers and telcos still impose highly prohibitive data caps on their users, which can make regular viewing of streaming services an expensive proposition, especially while on the go. Then there are times where network access simply isn’t available, such as when on a long-haul flight or while holidaying overseas. 

That’s when rolling your own content can be very handy. Out of the box your shiny new Apple TV, iPhone or iPad is incapable of playing your personal content library that you might have stored on a home media server or transferred across to the device manually. 

The App Store has literally hundreds of apps that all claim to breathe new life into the content you already own, but not all apps are created equal. 

Some are either poorly designed, and performance and file format support can vary wildly from app to app. Apps like PLEX can be great, but the fact that it requires a secondary PC to offload transcoding duties makes it an inconvenient option. 

Infuse 

Infuse by FireCore offers the most complete video and audio codec support that, in our testing, played almost everything we threw at it, including silky smooth playback of videos with resolutions up to 4K. The app is also one of the few iOS apps to include fully certified support for Dolby Digital Plus, DTS and DTS-HD lossless audio so you can enjoy full surround sound through your home theatre system. 

I say almost because Apple is yet to enable hardware decoding for the highly efficient but more demanding H.265/HEVC video standard on its devices. This means that content encoded in this format will have sluggish playback as Infuse is forced to use software-based decoding. Hopefully, Apple rectifies this in a future update. The app also won’t play ISO files, but the developers told me this is something that they are hoping to add in the future. 

Infuse is easy to set up — simply point the app to where your videos are stored and it will get to work cataloguing the content, complete with beautiful cover art and movie details. It gives your content a Netflix level sheen that makes browsing your movie and TV show library an enjoyable experience. 

Once set up, you won’t have to ever worry about incompatible video formats, file conversion and even subtitles. Swiping down on the Apple TV remote while playing a film or TV show will give you the option to retrieve subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org. You can even adjust the subtitle typeface, size and colour. 

Infuse’s powerful decoder puts the Apple TV’s fast A8 processor to work, rendering any incompatible video format natively on the Apple TV, which tremendously simplifies the whole process. 

Another nice touch is that the app will keep tabs on your watch history across multiple devices, so you can start watching a movie on your iPad and then pick up where you left off on your Apple TV. 

As mentioned, the app streams media from wherever you may happen to have it stored, be it a Mac, PC, NAS, WiFi drives or from server apps such as PLEX. What’s more, Infuse offers a number of ways to transfer your movies to your iPad or iPhone that, thankfully, bypass iTunes completely. You can even transfer content from cloud services such as Dropbox or play back files from external storage accessories like Mophie’s Space Pack. 

If you don’t own an Apple TV, then Infuse can also beam the content from your iPhone or iPad to your television via Google’s Chromecast stick. 

VLC is the go-to media player for Android 

Infuse is only available on Apple devices and there’s nothing really comparable on Android that offers the same level of polish. Popular apps like KODI and MX Player allow you to access content stored on your local network, but the former lacks a touchscreen-friendly UI while the latter suffers from playback stutters on some video formats. 

Thankfully, there’s the open-source VLC media player, which is not only completely free but also happens to be the most powerful media player going around. It’s ­essentially the baby brother to the VLC that we have been using on the desktop for years. 

It’s rendering engine is capable of playing back the most number of video formats including 4K resolution files encoded in the demanding HEVC file format and ISO files. We stress-tested VLC with a 4K resolution file of ­TimeScapes encoded at an extremely taxing 60Mbps bit rate and the app played it back with no problems on our Samsung Galaxy S7 test device. 

The main problem with VLC is that it lacks the ability to access content stored on network devices so you will need to use a file manager app like ES File Explorer in conjunction with VLC if you wish to play files stored on your home media server. 

It also lacks the slick UI of Infuse or PLEX but if you just want an app that will play anything you throw at it, then VLC is your best bet for Android.
