How to enjoy Blu-ray movies on HDTV with asus o play?
When backing up Blu-ray Discs for enjoying on HD TV with asus o play, there are many ways to choose from. To keep lossless quality for high-definition TV, you can either copy m2ts streams straightly from BD, or make the whole BD into an ISO image file and you can also turn to MKV format, which holds a whole movie in a single file including lossless video, multiple HD audio tracks and subtitles. But another issue comes up- subtitles are not displayed as you watch ripped movie on HDTV, becauseasus o play does not supports PGS subtitles in MKV container. In order to have subtitles displayed correctly, you have to extract the subtitles and convert it to a format that ASUS O Play does support, like srt, ssa, sami, etc. What is the best and easiest way for copying Blu-ray for watching on HDTV with ASUS O Play?
