Help with blu ray ripping / playing

Hi Everyone! 🙂


I am lost trying to understand how to properly play a ripped blu ray without issues.



I have long searched online for tutorials and guides but so far I have found a good amount of information on how to rip a blu ray but not so much on how to play it correctly. I have recently downloaded from the web the first Lord of the Rings - extended edition - in 4k but while trying to play it on my PC for testing (using VLC) I ecounter stutter issues every so often, which most of the times result in the video track getting stuck. I have tried changing the # of threads to match my cpu capabilities but the situation barely improved.


Anyway, I would be extremely thankful if anyone could help me understand the steps I need to take in order to get the files and softwares ready to play on my 4k tv, using an hmdi passthrough from my pc.


Thank you in advance!!🙂🙂

It might be useful to try those programs.

I haven't bothered with 4k (or h.265 unless there's no choice), but back when 1080p was like 4k or 8k is now, the key was to get a graphics card with hardware acceleration, and player software that knew how to make use of it. VLC took a while to add support for hardware acceleration, so for a while I used Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre, which did.
