What's with all these movies, TV series etc now in HEVC format? My Media player won't play anything in that format, so no use to me unless I bother trying to convert them, which apparently is a rather lengthy process.
Smaller file size for same quality picture. Less memory taken up and quicker to download. Plays on my computer with windows media player classic and win 10.

It will play on my computer as well, but I like to watch movies on the big screen via a portable media player.

Hoping someone can help with a subs problem... English subtitles work fine from subscene.com but whenever I try Thai subtitles it always displays subs in an unknown language.

Yes, I’ve changed (& saved)the filter from “English” to “Thai” each time. The downloaded file name even says it’s a Thai subtitle.

 

 

 

 

You do have Thai fonts installed on the device that displays the subs ?

some subtitles say they are Thai but are  either fake or just display "gobbledygook" no matter what font you use

sometimes you can open the *.srt file  with a text editor  and sort out the "Unicode encoding" of the file

EditPad Lite  version 7.6.4   has a good built in tool for that.

Sorry, missed the portable media player reasoning. Why worry though, HVEC torrents are still a minority format, just download your preferred format.

It's just that I see that format more and more on download sites and wondering if this is the future.

I understand your concern. If you wish to pay the money you can buy a portable media player that will play it. If the format becomes popular the price of the players will come down. Same thing has been happening for years.

Carnival Row, alternate earth Victorian London with fairies and other monsters, plenty of gore, tits, bums and violence.

Complete season released, Orlando Bloom is the star.

 

Sanditon, Jane Austin period drama, up to episode 3 now.

Just watched 'Yesterday',

a failed musician get's knocked out and wakes up in an alternate Universe where the Beatles never existed, then goes on to write all their songs from memory. It was very good.

Have anyone seen "Chernobyl" by HBO? I've heard many good reviews. Plan to see it on a weekend.

I saw it a couple of months back. Thought it was very good. Five one-hour episodes.

Glad to say that Top Boy is returning this week.

Netflix picked it up and have made a new season.

 

Mentioned seasons 1 and 2 a few years ago now.

Show was surprisingly cancelled in 2013 after winning a heap of awards.

Think it's a bit like a UK version of The Wire

 

If you haven't seen any of the earlier episodes, do yourself a favour and have a look.

Four episodes in each of the first two seasons.

I thought this looked good and downloaded the first two seasos ages ago but haven't got around to watching it yet. If you liked that you'll probably like this Gangs of London. No trailer available yet (or none that I could find), but this from Wiki:

 

"Gangs of London is an upcoming British-American action television series, following struggles between rival gangs and other criminal organisations in present-day London. The series is set to air in the UK on Sky Atlantic and in the US on Cinemax."

Probably not for everyone, you must remember that.

He wasn't recommending it, only advising that it was available.

I was teasing him, because he made a similar comment to me.

A lot of BS added to the story. It’s now a SAFE, very popular tourist attraction (google it)... so much for being radioactive for next 50,000 or whatever years.
