What’s the best way to Full Disc Copy of a Blu-ray Remaining the original structures

Copy Protection, Losslessly Backup Blu-ray, Region Code

Full disc copy means to help users to backup the whole contents of a Blu-ray disc remaining the original structures. Blu-ray is a new standard that is completely different from a standard conventional DVD. The structure of the disc, therefore, is vastly different from that of DVD, even though at 1.2mm the thickness is the same. The structure of a DVD is a pair of discs with a 0.6mm thickness joined together, with a recording layer known as a "reflection film" trapped in the middle. Single-sided dual layer-type DVDs have also been released and these have a non-transparent reflection layer and semi-transparent reflection layer attached together, with a transparent layer between the reflection films. The basic difference between the single-layer and double-layer structure is whether or not...

Where to Get Three Great Alternatives to Windows Movie Maker

Editing Softwares, Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is no more. These free programs are great replacements. Microsoft has put an end to one of its favorite free software bundles, Windows Essentials. It included a variety of different programs such as a blog writing program, the now defunct MSN Messenger, Windows Live Mail, and Movie Maker. The latter was a particularly beloved program, because it made it easy to do basic edits for a video. With Movie Maker you could add an introductory screen, credits, a soundtrack, cut out certain portions of the video, add visual filters, and then easily share those videos on various platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Flickr. It was a fun way to spice up a family movie or school project. It's not a stretch to say there weren't many programs like it. If you still l...

Perfect 3D Blu-ray/DVD Playback on Google DayDream with Pixel and Pixel XL

Google DayDream View, VR Headset

The Pixel phone line was introduced in conjunction with the Daydream View VR headset, and the initial release promotion for the Pixel phones included a free Daydream View VR headset. The Daydream view is only compatible with Pixel phones, although it may be compatible with other phones in the future. While the Daydream View is not as sophisticated as the HTC Vive in terms of capabilities, it is one tenth the price and may allow more Android developers to go beyond the barely interactive panoramic view apps that currently dominate the Google Play store for Google Cardboard. If you're not interested in a VR headset for the sake of games or panoramic tours, consider how an inexpensive headset like the Daydream View would work as a personal movie viewing device for things like watching m...

What you should know about the Pixel and Pixel XL Phones from Google

Google DayDream View, Pixel and Pixel XL, Tablet/Phone Reviews, VR Headset

To understand how the Pixel is different, we need to take a brief sidetrack to the Nexus line. The Pixel phone line is a replacement for the previous Nexus phone series. Nexus phones were made by other phone manufacturers as example devices for new Android releases, and unlike the Pixel, the joint branding was visible on the device. The Nexus 6P, for example, is branded as a Huawei phone, and Google extended the partnership into letting device makers influence some of the design decisions. Nexus phones were sold unlocked (you could use them with any carrier for US devices) and usually without a phone contract. Generally, Nexus phones came with both a high-end model and a more inexpensive model. The Pixel line was introduced as two sizes of what is essentially the same high-end phone. P...

Chromecast vs. Chromecast Ultra: Which one should you buy?

Chromecast & Chromecast Ultra, Stream To TV

Google Chromecast Ultra Google’s taking the “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” saying and throwing it right out the window by taking the already impressive Google Chromecast and making it even better. The Chromecast Ultra now offers streaming in 4K Ultra HD and HDR with additional speed boosts to handle the more intense quality. Like its predecessors, the Chromecast Ultra plugs right into your TV’s HDMI port and works with the iPhone, iPad, Android devices and laptops with thousands of Cast-enabled apps. Google’s Chromecast supports more than 200,000 TV shows and movies, plus 30 million songs, radio, sports, games and more. While it’s arguable that options like the Roku are more feature-rich, Google’s Chromecast Ultra may be the easiest and best-designed streaming service around. T
