crixskn Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I just picked it up today. PowerDvd doesn't want to play the movies on my PC, how are you guys doing it? Edited June 13, 2014 by crixskn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camk4evr Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I used my PS3. A region 1 blu-ray player should play them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I just picked it up today. PowerDvd doesn't want to play the movies on my PC, how are you guys doing it? Did you picked up the DVDs or the BluRay? Depending on where you live the default region code of your drives might be different than the one from Japan. You should be able to tell the drive what kind of region code you want to use. Here is some point of reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Region_codes Hope that helps.

crixskn Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Blurays and same region as Japan by default, but no results. I have a legit powerdvd btw even if its version 10 Edited June 13, 2014 by crixskn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Some media has security software that won't allow playback on computers. Likely to curb piracy. Usually "AnyDVD" will cancel out any such security and allow you to watch it on your PC. I've noticed this restriction on some DVD's and BD discs in recent years.

Cdr Fokker Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 AFAIK, there isn't any truly free BD player software out there - at least nothing that looks legitimate and is able to deal with AACS and BD+ protected discs. I have the XMBC plugin to run BD playback through MakeMKV (which I use to rip everything), and just verified that such a playback works fine with the MacF movie discs. MakeMKV is still in public beta, and is free while in that state, though there are rolling keys that you have to update. Or you can buy a license for $50.

Bub Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Finally have it! Picked this up at an HMV in Narita after ordering it. Let's support the idea of Macross getting subs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 AFAIK, there isn't any truly free BD player software out there - at least nothing that looks legitimate and is able to deal with AACS and BD+ protected discs. ^^This. I use AnyDVDHD to playback Blu-rays with Media Player Classic Home Cinema on my HTPC. However, I also have a dedicated blu-ray player for really stubborn discs. MPC-HC is a nice program, but it isn't for novice users and takes some time to learn. Whatever you use on the PC, (PowerDVD, MakeMKV, or MPC-HC) make sure to keep the software up to date.

Legioss Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) In Sayonara no Tsubasa, there's what I assume is a layer change when they attack the Vajra nest and Ranka is singing. It freezes there in MacGo Blu-ray Player unless I skip ahead of it. http://www.woookao.cn http://www.dvdfab.cn/download.htm edit: Ripping didn't help, but woookao made it so I could play it in VLC with no freeze.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I decided to order this. The discount helped a lot since I am short on money right now. Can anyone tell me what are in the books? I looked at a youtube vid of an unboxing but the person showing the books was very brief. And what happens when you put the disc in a playstation? Hopefully bandai do the tv series with english subs one day. I also buy gundam dvd too, but I hear bandai usa closed? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-01-02/bandai-entertainment-to-stop-releasing-new-dvds-bds-manga Does this mean no more gundam Unicorn releases in english dub on disc? Where do you get disc releases of stuff if you are not a fan of downloading digitally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legioss Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 One of the books has many beautiful full page and smaller color pictures. It's mostly the characters but with some mecha. The other book has linart, douga (cel lineart), and a section with color picture of character models and backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe1010 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Question ..

Tochiro Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 The version of the Frontier movies on Bluray that has English subtitles is the Shudisuta box set. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00HHLI1PG/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_1?qid=1448976083&sr=8-1-spellπ=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=シュディスター Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 And a glorious set it is. Looks like it's got a good discount on Amazon. It was worth the regular price, so the discount is a no brainer. That is, if you like the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 There isn't much choice considering there's no localizations for Macross.Don't know. I got mine from Amiami back when it was first released. I had 2nd thoughts because the price was so high. But, I felt better when I actually received it and saw how nice the entire set was. It has 2 full sized art books not the little handbooks you normally get.The thing I want to bring up is wouldn't the individual movie releases simply be the same actual Blu-ray disks as the box set? That is to say, wouldn't they also have subtitles if the original box set had subtitles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal9000 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Al right so I've got my copy and its glorious. I have lightly delved into the special features disk, its going to be a challenge given I don't know any Japanese. But on a side note I though I read somewhere that there was a PS3 them on one of the disks in the set, am I just remembering wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be thinking of the earlier hybrid pack releases, which do not include subtitles. The hybrid packs are still available from some stores on-line.

Renato Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We're talking about the Shudista set, right? Actually, there are a bunch of interactive bonus features accessible only with a PS3 on the third disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
