Depending on the jurisdiction you are in and the approach
taken by your governments to "fair use" privilege of competent
and merited sharing of materials related to promoting better
culture - that is ALL we are involved in ultimately - against
a "cancel culture" (inhumanly oriented I daresay) industry
which funds all the wrong causes instead and the wrong ideas
on the planet to impose on the merited human spirits who it
would be better to see take charge altogether now, you may for
a period at present make use of an anonymous downloading
software mechanism known as a VPN service provider
utility - the best at present we have found to be ExpressVpn
along with Cyberghost (in that order) wouldnt bother with
anyone else at this point - these two remain with the best
record after years of best service to the market. 30 day
money back guarantee in any event still applies to both
i believe. So you got nothing to lose just by trying to see
how well each one works for you. Kaspersky by the way
recently advertised 30 day free internet/virus protection

the business - most trustworthy - just gotta have them
out there)

You will find subtitles posted for you here and at sites we regularly post
at on the net including subscene.com and opensubtitles.org
We do find Handbrake converter is better at handling hardcoding
of subtitles considering more rightly displaying text in italic form
or representing text with use of an extended character set such
as are in use in Europe involving the use of accents
Also watch for the "Letterbox" default setting in Xilisoft
as you cant change the default settings, you have to select
"full" everytime you do a conversion instead - just as Handbrake
default setting - which cant be changed except with each video
individually which is to hardcode a subtitle randomly - from
the list of those in the source file at #1 it would appear
The video quality at low bitrates shows poorly using Xilisoft instead -
however they are otherwise quite useful when joining and splitting
audio and video tracks along with XviD conversions at normal bitrates
for sample or full size nice enough sharing quality movie uploads etc
We find Handbrake video converter and Iskysoft video converter both
easy to use and providing quality conversions to format including MP4
as well as utilizing MKV container formats wherever we also choose to.
Handbrake offers the best free converter at the moment.
it does give you some great flexibility over iskysoft in setting
bitrates and selecting audio formats over iskysoft who are slow
to respond to concerns in this regard equally to the need.
They seem to have much improved on bitrate flexibility lately.
Both Xilisoft and Iskysoft do allow you to join audio and video files
something that the folks at Handbrake have been lagging behind in
doing in an equal manner to this point. Handbrake would especially
be nice to support with donations along with a suggestion
that estimated file size be indicated for output at the outset. along
with the ability to set pre-sets for such selections as whether to
skip subtitles hardcoding (by default) and as well to apply settings
to a whole batch of converted video files all at once as
is allowed by other commonly used converters equally)
Also watch for the default setting for video frame size as
Xilisoft defaults to "Letterbox" cropping rather than full
display - just as much a nuisance as the Handbrake
converter default of always hardcoding the first available
language subtitle rather than waiting for you to ask -
they should disable this auto feature too as it lacks any
sanity as it is.
Iskysoft has sometimes given the best results over handbrake
when converting to standard H.264 from cumbersome x.265 HEVC
The video runs smoothly on a computer and in perfect sync by
comparison for large sized x265 format files or H.264 converted
from x265 using Handbrake instead such as "The Godfather" (1972)
2160p (moviesbyrizzo upload)
When converting audio files for our MP4/MKV version movie file
postings at torrent sites, we often make use of the great quality
(donation supported at this point) MediaHuman converter
- they usually make reliable conversions especially involving
AAC source
files to get correct headers, and additionally for DTS,
DTS-HD
alomg with TrueHD highdefinition audio tracks (when
contained in a video file) converted down
to lower bitrate level
AC3 files etc wherever appropriate to do.
Free software to make or edit subtitles files is available for free download
at nikse.dk (Denmark) (donation supported) (Instantly translates
subtitles for you using the "google translate" internet server link)
When viewing any of the movies and documentaries posted here
on your computer, we highly suggest you make use of the free
software media player available at MPC-HC
(click here to download for free from their site)
(When viewing 2160p material using MPC-HC you may seed to
change a display setting to display normal sync on your computer)
By the way, our lovely Sony Bluray disc player which offers support for
H.264 XviD VOB DIVX USB and has a Ethernet LAN port too is able to
provide search capability with MP4 files and chapters selection control
with MKV container format files whose file header data is written as is the
4.37GB
"Stand up guys" (SHIV ENG-ITA upload) which was apparently muxed using
MKVMERGE 7.0.0 - We aren't able to do the same thing with other video files
using even this older version of MKVtoolnix (you have to use the installer
EXE version rather than the portable version of mkvtoolnix 7.0.0 for the
MKVMERGE GUI to appear on your desktop. It has a chapters edit and
write facility to write a chapters file to a MATROSKA file
to update. If anyone has any ideas on making this work, we'd like
to hear from you - with thanks indeed. The authors of MKVTOOLNIX
are unable it seems to be of any help to us in this.
Note: We found by installing an internal SATA III type interface
hard disk recently (this one made by a maker based in the Netherlands)
that we get much greater speed and throughput over the speeds of older
SATA speeds,
Computers equipped with a PCI slot (or PCI-E etc) would be
best
equipped with a USB 3.0 multi port adapter to allow for external
hard disks to perform at maximum speed where applicable.
Available cheap on ebay, amazon and even BestBuy too perhaps
We just bought ourselves this nice looking ASUS
BDXL/bluray reader (intending on use to read and
certainly be able to sample play 4K movie discs)
The drive has the size capacity to do so which is
why we bought it in the first place - only to find it
to be the wrong model as only models with older
versions of firmware (software that's coded in their
main chip controlling functionality) are designed
to be "UHD friendly" in that code exists to make them
function more rightly so as to allow use for which
the drives would be intended for - or why purchase
one with such capacities when their most obvious utility
is begrudged, arbitrarily denies and consumers
generally unaware of this fact. Lets hope for a revised
firmware version from manufacturers to make all such
of their existing drive models work, they can do it if we
choose to insist ta!
As we are after all involved in a good cause of improving our world through the
explanation we give here for the phenomenon depicted and the suggestions
we make for men of conscience to choose to put the best foot forward. It is
therefore in support of humanism (a Christianly spirit in other words) that we
do what we must and see it through no matter the cost to our larger communities
on the planet in which we live - who must bear all costs ultimately to make for
our improved vision to come about instead of where we have been heading for all
too long now - quite obviously we submit with care. Michael Rizzo Chessman Humanist crusader

This is our new media player from NeonTek purchased from
a discounter locally (Tech-direct - Gerrad Square) who keeps
some stock on hand.
It sports both USB3 (important) and USB2 ports
along with a SATA 2.5" hard disk docking port
Shown here is a 2TB Toshiba Canvio Hard drive
attached to the USB 3 port for great speed.
We have upgraded the power supply to a 5V
higher amp capacity (2.5 amp) power adapter
to ensure adequate and robust power availability to
power the attached Toshiba drive comfortably too
in addition to the media player itself.
It displays a lovely 2160p H.264 picture
(such as our Der Pianist 2160p H,264 SDR conversion
that's posted for you on the net for free download)
No need for a disc player anymore for playback
purposes. We have this attached to our lovely (despite
their reputation for budget conscious pricing) brand new

Note to our folks who frequent video stores for
rentals costing
over four bucks or more; Outlets such as Walmart sometimes
may offer you deals on complete dual Bluray/DVD offerings
of Grease (1978) and the Godfather (1972) and more
such essential collector items for just eight dollars per title
- beats renting all te hell I say! Enough audiovideo quality
to show at your own drive-in movie theater someplace
remote in Russia etc too perhaps - why not! salut!

Documentaries Reviews (with download links) Documentaries (Many if not all are available on youtube
and kanopy.com
along with "The Public Broadcast System" Network in the USA - PBS mainly
Download purchases from content producers are available from amazon.com -
must be US resident or Apple itunes, and the PBS or all amazon sites for
DVDs/HD/Bluray)
It has to be said that while Apple has recently announced great promotion
pricing on
some available video content through their itunes software download facility at
reasonable
enough cost we figure certainly, they are at the moment seeming insistent on
this crazed notion
that content you've even paid them for to download can only be viewed using
their own
"perfect video player software" facility on a computer rather than using your own
player
software such as MPC-HC (free - just download on the net) or view on your own
TV screen
for crissakes using a DRM converter (which when actually available, (which
at the moment
seems a problem with apples latest DRM version - none seem to have this
converter facility
updated to be still working as of yet) removes this artificial and consumer
oppressing
tactic by Apple mainly, in this respect) These DRM converters seem to come and
go, however
you will I believe in the meantime find at least one such converter for free
from many download
sites on the net - they include noteburner, iskysoft (best value if it works -
as they offer
great multipurpose video conversion utilities and more) , tuneskit (nice
features such as audio
track selector etc) and others - DVDFab has one that's apparently still imperfect
however they
do nice work and hopefully will soon enough have theirs working with the right
output file size
automatic selection etc - they are based in China and have the only competent
bluray disc
backup copy software we have found thus far in our own markets here at this
point. ta!
ALL itunes and Amazon downloads should be just as available for purchase from
anywhere
on our planet as are any of their shipped DVDs/blurays etc for crissakes - stop
with the power
trips on tailoring cultural exposure in various markets according to the needs
of the Apple CEO
or whichever of you is doin this eh!you folks have NO SANITY in this regards for crissakes!
Stick to playing video games on your computers all bloody day along with
simulations
of blowing up human beings or being still stuck in some ancient sorcerers cave
etc.
The industry has for too long been incompetent and draconian in making
decisions for the
marketplace in general as to which video content to allow to make available for
sale or rental
and in what quality and at what websites/online facilities, when they have no
business doing so.
Great programs such as White Mischief (Greta Scacchi) have never been made
available onto
the market in North America due to a bigoted mindset hell bent against the
human spirit that
is showing as an alternative for us to applaud and support and foster and
nurture and see thrive
and make come about as an alternative model for our communities here.
Programs such as (BBC) Upstairs downstairs (1971-1975) are still less than HD
quality while
great offerings such as Kavanagh QC and Inspector Morse (John Thaw in both
cases -
would you believe) are not available for HD purchase from Apple or amazon at
present
as the studio bigshots making such decisions are simply an inane mindset
seemingly
on a continual power trip of a bigoted nature "equally" with no apparent
sanity or
certainly common sense (or perhaps just plain decency even!) enough to stop
their
incompetence in this respect and simply put out the "stuff" so those interested
can pay
for crissakes - what's "possessing" you guys eh! who the hell died and made you
god in this
regard? It is arguably altogether public property in our domain in respect of
legal arguments
which could be made - as cultural material of community investment and
interest and in the
furtherance of a humanistic agenda in our own case - even having BBC programs
such as Fawlty
towers, Yes Minister and all else that's in the vaults right now - blow the
safe open I say - and put
the stuff where it belongs - where it can be seen and edifiy too potentially
for crissakes eh!
Beware the HDR format now being pushed onto consumers by the industry - they
muck
with the product so the image appears improperly on the screen you view it on (mis-hued
Colour scheme) - unitl and unless you invest in buying special equipment
that is HDR capable including a brand new 4K TV etc for crissakes!
Now that sound like wrongdoing or malfeasance of the worst sort of mindset
for our purposes in improving the quality of life for our own of highest merit
in what content we consume and how we wish to use our resources in
making our families sanely happy without overspending for the fat cats who
are mainly putting out shit (one of the downloads highest on the list of the
torrent system for popularity spurned on by the Industry's planners is
you guessed it - "Zombieland"!
BTW we use the great folks at carddelivery.com for the benefit of our friends we
