Previously written home theater articles are based on hardware, today is a little idle, out of perfectionism for Virgo, require equipment not only to use, but also easy to use, so on the combination of software and hardware, write an advanced article. But there is a saying I would like to say in front of us: Late stage lazy cancer, I feel that things can be used if they can not use them, I'm too lazy to toss, and I can't understand Virgo perfectionism and ignore this article . Thank you for your cooperation.
A: Hardware articles
First of all, although the title of this article is “Software Tormenting Articles,†what software does not come from hardware? To play a home theater, the hardware is just not less, first talk about my hardware equipment
1, playback source
HTPC one, easy to find tablets, feel the Internet to download all kinds of resources should be the only surviving benefits of the Celestial, home 100M fiber does not download one or two high-definition movies every day is sorry Mao grandfather, no new movie on the big sister, do not go Buy Blu-ray DVD discs with a higher degree of customization during playback
Configuration is not too high, this is my HTPC configuration, I3+4G+ set on the line. Need your own TB search HTPC choose their favorite HTPC, or their own distribution, technical content is not high, but HTPC general chassis are relatively small, their own words then pay attention to the size of the motherboard heat sink is suitable for your chassis
2, monitor
BenQ W1070+, this is Volkswagen model, please visit BenQ official website
The curtain does not say anything. It was taken by a friend in real life. It was not purchased online.
3, sound system
BOSE suit, small size, loud, the first time to go to BOSE store in Wangfujing, Chengdu, was surprised by the goods, such a small speaker can send sound effects not inferior to the cinema, incredible The sound pressure, have to say that BOSE's black technology really can not be underestimated, completely contrary to the laws of physics, give me a feeling like a small loli punch down Yao Ming that is unreasonable. If you are poisoned on the spot, whether you are Hua Tuo Bian or Da Changjiu or an old Chinese medicine doctor, all the special salvage is invalid, direct payment and transfer 1W3 full payment orders, after 20 days arrival, the wife saw the goods and slapd my face. On the five-digit price you buy this gadget to come back? In addition to the subwoofer, the other speakers are about the same size as a three-dollar bottle of Cola!†After listening to the effect, “The husband put his face over me. Rubbing you..." This is the portal of the BOSE website
Remember that the sound output sets BOSE as the default device
Remember to set the source code output in the player when playing the movie, DTS effect drops
6, routers and NAS (right chassis)
To use HTPC to watch high-definition movies, then you must play NAS, but to play NAS, the router must be Gigabit wired interface, NAS does not matter, hard drive to buy a good point is that I bought a Western Digital NAS dedicated red disk, I The NAS has four hard disk drives. At present, only one is used. The hard disk is almost the same as the hard disk. The cuboids in the lower left of the blue and black are UPS. Please ignore. The white box is a variety of outlets. The power cord is inconsistent. Please ignore it.
Router is TP's WDR7500, not high-end, enough on the line, need to please step tp official website
NAS is Black Group, this will not give links, please search by yourself TB
Hard disk I bought in Jingdong, Jingdong own 6T NAS dedicated red disk transmission door to send
7, not hardware hardware
What I want to say is not the subwoofer, but the black thing under the subwoofer. It is a high-density granite slate ordered according to the size of the subwoofer. The thickness is 8cm. It should be called a stone.
As the saying goes, the subwoofer that does not disturb people is not a good gun. I was once knocked twice by my neighbor.
For the first time, my family watched the film movement too loud, called me to open a small volume (I never had more than 50% of the volume, BOSE this cargo is really fierce, work up and shaking the ground + pants into the air, the feeling of the demolition of the house All over the body). When I knocked on the door for the second time, I asked the other person what the situation was. The other person said that instead of hearing loud, they felt that the wall was shaking.
After doing some homework, it was this
After adding the granite under the subwoofer, and then inserting the two kinds of foot pads into the door under the granite, the movie is still 50% during the day and no more than 40% at night. It is not knocked again.
Here are two more P phrases, first three pictures, online search
Do you know what this is? This is BOSE's air subwoofer. Now it is rare to see it. I was fortunate enough to have heard the effect of this cargo once in the subterranean video room of a local tyrant's family. The sturdy and unobstructed sound is not procrastination. It is not the sound that ordinary goods can send out. I would have liked to engage in one, but unfortunately the goods are too big, and I feel that if it is not a single-family villa, then this cargo is absolutely impossible and absolutely impossible to use! Whatever you do with sound insulation can't stop it from disturbing people's strength, so... give up! I heard that 1: In the past, many theaters used this kind of subwoofer. Heard 2: The word "subwoofer" was used because of the general appearance of the barrel. All heard, authenticity I did not go to study. This cargo is also called cannon, pipe gun, well, do not pull away, back to the question.
Home theater panorama. My configuration is not a local tyrant, but I feel that I should be qualified for entry.
Well, the hardware aspect ends here, count this appetizer, the following is the key, home theater hardware has, but how to use it to play its biggest role, make yourself comfortable, how to customize to your favorite state ,please watch the following part.
Second: software articles
Slightly more involved things, so the following things will be written more messy, and many other pictures are direct mobile phone to the screen to take pictures without using screenshots, because HTPC did not install QQ, screenshots are not convenient, haha, forgive me
Playing HD movies, the player is nothing more than a few, I'm used to is the POTPLAYER and POWERDVD, the former play general high-definition movies, the latter specializes in playing Blu-ray original (because POT does not support 3D Blu-ray original disk)
Speed ​​and passion 7 REMUX version (REMUX is a positive part extracted from the Blu-ray DVD original, removed all the tidbits and DVD menu), large capacity, 25.8G head, needless to say, absolutely high rate
This is POTPLAYER playing some of the parameters of the film display, see the CPU usage yet?
Avatar 3D Blu-ray original image file, 46.6G
Look at the CPU usage when playing Blu-ray 3D, so in this era of excess CPU performance, HTPC is enough with I3, of course, if you want to play the game or something else to say ...
If the display device supports 3D, the resolution here will become 19201080 (recommended, 3D)
POWERDVD usually recognizes your device automatically and decides what 3D output mode to use. I didn't select it automatically because I'm a TV+projector with dual monitors, TV is a polarized 3D projector, and the projection is a shutter 3D. The principle of the 3D is different, so I It is the manual selection of 3D options. In addition, here is the difference between the two kinds of 3D popular science.
1, polarization 3D is the left and right eye of the screen displayed at the same time, and then through the 3D glasses, so that the left eye only see the left eye of the screen, the right eye only see the right eye of the screen, polarization 3D features is a higher display device requirements , so the display device is more expensive, and the glasses are lighter and cheaper, the viewing angle is not too large, the principle and the drivers drive when the sun likes to use polarizers to filter stray light about one meaning, and now some driving recorder lens The above will be equipped with polarized lenses is also the reason. The left-eye lens of polarized 3D glasses is only responsible for filtering out the right-eye screen, and the right-eye lens is only responsible for filtering out the left-eye screen. In this way, the left and right eyes can see different images to form a 3D visual effect.
2. Shutter 3D is another principle that is completely used. Each frame of the screen is displayed in two frames. (Here's how many frames are used for science, and the principles of cartoons are known to everyone. The nuanced N-pictures flash in front of each other in turn, so the picture seen by the human eye is continuous, and each picture is a frame, and the movie is generally 24 frames/second. That is, the shutter 3D changes 24 frames/second to 48 frames/second, and each frame is displayed in the left and right eyes. For example, when playing the first frame of a movie, the first frame of the left eye is first played, and the right eyeglasses closes the left eyeglasses. Then only the left eye can see the frame, and then the right eye frame of the first frame is released. When the left eyeglasses close the right eyeglasses, only the right eye can see the screen. A frame in the movie is actually displayed as one frame for the left eye and one frame for the right eye = two frames. The entire movie is shown alternately left, right, left and right. Based on the method of alternately turning on and off the left and right lenses + the residual principle of the human eye (the residual time of the human eye is 0.1 second, which is much higher than 1/24 second of the ordinary movie, not to mention the 1/48 second of the shutter 3D movie, so From the human eye, it is impossible to see the effect of alternately displaying left and right. What you see is a complete 3D image that is always displayed. Let the left and right eyes see different images and create a 3D visual effect. This 3D principle is characterized by not very high requirements for display devices, but the cost of glasses is high because the 3D principle is not the same as polarized 3D, so it is not affected by the viewing angle, and the glasses need to be charged (used to receive the monitor's emission). The lens opens and closes the signal and turns itself on and off. Because of the presence of the battery, the shutter glasses are more bulky than the polarized glasses.
Projected 3D menu, the top of the bottom corresponds to the up and down format of the 3D video file, side by side corresponds to the left and right formats of the 3D video file, the gray option corresponds to the Blu-ray DVD 3D, gray does not matter, do not control
Because POWERDVD plays the 3D disk in the basket, the projector will automatically switch to this mode. When playing left and right and up and down 3D video, you only need to manually switch the 3D mode.
This is the monitoring of NAS usage. Should many people recognize it as a group of people? At present, 6T hard drives are used for the most part, and NAS is really convenient. After connecting to a router, various devices at home (mobile flat-screen television projection computers) can be easily accessed. Pay attention to the IP address in the red box.
This is the IP address of my bedroom's projection access NAS
The computer lost a shortcut to this IP address directly on the desktop
Computer Access NAS
TV access NAS
Mobile phone access NAS, plainly, NAS is a network neighbor, so that all kinds of devices at home through the router to use the hard drive only, of course, the role of the NAS is more than just this, you can also help you download BT, video surveillance, etc. ... you You can also think of the NAS as a computer in a local area network, but this computer does not have a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. For ZDMER, which has a lot of home devices, there are often documents stored on this computer, and the computer saves photos, moves, There is a big sister on hard disk A. There are high-definition movies on removable hard disk B. There is a phenomenon in which data is repeatedly stored and wasted on the hard disk. There are often cases where data is copied from one device to another, and I cannot remember where information is needed. Every device has to be turned over for every mobile hard disk. Is there wood? Get a NAS to solve all problems, all the equipment is stored in this place, the required data are retrieved from this place, data files centralized management.
The HTPC in the living room accesses the NAS's LAN copy speed, which is copied from the NAS to the hard disk of the computer. 100M/s, the file on the NAS is basically the same as the local player. If it is not a router with a Gigabit wired interface, then it can only be Hehe...
Of course, the software still does not have the following goods, play Blu-ray DVD necessary weapons
SONY engages in a mute protection. If you play a Blu-ray DVD that is an illegally copied version, then when the movie is played halfway through, it will randomly appear muted at a certain point in time and continue to last (who says TM is good, Stand out and guarantee not to kill you! ) And this product can shield the mute protection in Blu-ray DVD (Of course, the role is not only that, as for what else there is, please try it yourself, here is the need to shield the mute protection function ). However, not all Blu-ray DVDs have this mute protection. At the moment, I have encountered Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, and there is no sound when I play half. Open this software and play it again. From the beginning to the end, everything is normal. . This is one of the reasons why I use the HTPC instead of the Blu-ray player. If brothers with Blu-ray players have encountered this problem, they will not be able to buy it unless they buy a Blu-ray player that does not support mute protection, or simply give up watching this. sheet……
Three: Advanced - DIY custom Blu-ray original package
You definitely have this experience: when watching a movie, the subtitle color is similar to the background, leading to unclear subtitles, subtitles that are too small and seemingly strenuous, or subtitle colors that look uncomfortable
This is the official subtitles of Speed ​​and Passion 7 originals
This is my custom subtitles. The font is changed to my favorite romantic elegance. The display position is adjusted to the black part below the picture. The subtitle color is changed to yellow. It feels more conspicuous than white, and it is easier to see clearly. It also adjusts the font. Size, some subtitles are not translated properly or feel inappropriate, the text content also needs to be changed, there are subtitles and the sound is not synchronized, the subtitles display time period I will change, this is why I use HTPC, Blu-ray playback The machine is not able to meet these requirements with me casually. Is there a wooden injury to Virgo? Many player subtitles can adjust these parameters, but Blu-ray original subtitles can not be adjusted, then the problem came (excavator 屎 far point), how to break the original Blu-ray? Don't worry first, then look down
Nowadays, movies can be found on the Internet. When you play a movie, you can drag a subtitle file into the player window. However, when playing Blu-ray discs, this type of external subtitles is not supported. In addition, there will be a lot of tidbits in the Blu-ray disc, DVD menus, subtitle files in other languages, and audio tracks in other languages ​​(such as French-Spanish and other dubbing). These things are at least totally useless to me. Based on the above reasons, So my DIY Blu-ray disc is very necessary
For example: After downloading the Avatar Blu-ray original image file, after loading the virtual drive, check the information on the CD (Please look at the picture with what software you are viewing, there is a software name above). The three red circles, from top to bottom, are:
The corresponding playlist (00800), video file (AVC is the main video, MVC is the 3D video, the 3D original disc will have AVC+MVC, 2D only the AVC has no MVC), the audio track file, and the subtitle file below, Just the window is so big, it doesn't show the progress bar, and I'm too lazy to take a screenshot
Start repacking the original
The playlist file corresponding to the positive film just found with the software is 00800. This is the path to the playlist file.
After loading this playlist with the Blu-ray original packaging software (the old rules, what software please see the map), all the files corresponding to this playlist will be displayed, only the three in the red box, ie, the main video, 3D video The original audio track (I see the film only listen to the original audio track, post-dubbing audio track rate simply can not tolerate direct view, there is no context for the original match, the figure is, the original match is DTS, other voiceovers are still AC3 ), All other audio tracks and all subtitle files below are selected. Click REMOVE to give Lao Tzu
After all getting out of the egg, it finally became like this, now all the video tracks have, even worse subtitles
Most of the subtitle files downloaded on the Internet are text subtitles SRT. Of course, there are also ASS. It is very convenient to convert them to SRT, and there are many conversion softwares. We will not introduce how to convert them to SRT. The advantage of the SRT is the text format of the subtitle file, open with Notepad is very convenient to edit, easy to modify the incorrect subtitles, but the Blu-ray original subtitles are graphics SUP format subtitle file, then it is necessary to convert once
SRT to SUP software debut, please refer to the parameter settings, font size, display location, color fonts, etc. can be customized, the right picture is a preview of the 21:9 movie, delete the temporary file must be selected "yes", Output format must choose "blu-ray/sup"
This is a 16:9 preview effect. Adjust the parameters yourself until you feel the preview is appropriate.
Start the conversion, the text has become a picture, each dialogue will become a picture, when all the text into a picture file will automatically be recombined into a SUP subtitle file, so just want to choose to delete the temporary file, or else... ...
Subtitle conversion completed, SRT has changed to SUP
Return to the original Blu-ray package software. Click "add" to select the SUP graphics subtitle file just converted, and select the parameters here. This is the 3D subtitle option, and you don't need 3D subtitles to ignore it. , How many screen effects to choose to see their preferences. Also remember to select the “blu-ray iso†(the standard Blu-ray DVD image file) before starting to package the original disk.
Select subtitle language information for Chinese, PC player software or Blu-ray player to play the original file you packaged to display subtitle information will be used, of course, you can not choose, lazy cancer please ignore the late, but If you are DIY packaged Blu-ray original, I guess it should be no lazy cancer
After the video audio subtitles are all ready, click STAR to start repacking the original
This is a repackaged Avatar original file, leaving only the original + high-bit audio track + DIY subtitles. The rest is like what DVD menu + other later voice language tracks + other language subtitles + tidbits and so on, capacity 42.7G
Look at the original Blu-ray original file downloaded, slimming effect is obvious, missing 4 G
At this point, one of the world's unique, DIY DIY Blu-ray discs that match your taste is complete. You can use the virtual CD drive to load this image file directly on your PC. You can also burn this image file into a DVD. The disc is played on a Blu-ray DVD player.
Written here, hardware articles and software articles and DIY articles have ended in three chapters.
Hardware Qualified + software is sufficient to handle a variety of different HD movie files + will be practical how to customize the playback content DIY to your favorite look = end of this article.
Finally, send a home video to the end of this article. I hope that this article can help a small group of movie lovers like me. SEE YOU! I dive again
