Apparently it was all the "daily rushes", not just the actual released >versions of the movie.
"Got to give Paul Vanezis, Mark Ayres and everybody else involved
in this tons of plaudits for this. They really went above and
beyond for this release. Getting all 219 rolls of 35mm film
transferred from America to the uk for scanning. 37 hours of
rushes in total. All needing scanned and reassembled. Plus on
the audio side there is 92 1/4" tapes, A bunch of 8-track
digital DTRS cassettes, and DAT cassettes. Not counting the
8 x 2rC| 24-track tapes that were also digitised for this. This
has been a very expensive and time full endeavour. I'm very much
looking forward to ordering the 4k steelbook. There might not be
as much new features as I would like but with what they have done
I completely understand where the money is going on this."

I can honestly say it's my favourite McCoy story.

Sorry!! Why has David Tennant been totally discredited??
Just because of his work on Disney+Doctor??

Really? He didn't seem to have much to do in the TVM from what I
saw.
He was drinking tea in the TARDIS, arrived in San Francisco, got
shot, died, and then regenerated.
I doubt he got more than twenty minutes of screen time in a 90
minute movie.
He was only the appetiser for the main course.
But I suppose it was better than his performances in the TV
series that got Doctor Who cancelled... so maybe you're right.

It wasn't his TVM, he was only in it to regenerate... I doubt he
got twenty minutes of screen time, yet you think that was his
best performance as the Doctor. Which basically means the three
years he did on the show were not any of his best performances
then, doesn't it?
So yes, the Seventh Doctor's era was [generally] poor, it looked
shit, the audience stopped watching it... then the show got
cancelled. These are FACTS!
If the show was getting ratings above Coronation Street it
wouldn't have been cancelled, regardless of what anyone at the
BBC thought of the show personally. As it was, the ratings went
down the pan, the end was inevitable. Sylvester McCoy's
performances played a part in that. It wasn't the whole story,
but it was certainly a factor behind people not watching Doctor
Who.
But, he was great in the TVM... WELL, THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!

If someone buys a car then they own it. The registration papers are put
in their name. The same goes for buying a house, or a horse, or a
toaster. When they buy a CD, or a DVD, or a VHS tape, or even a digital >download, apparently they don't own it at all. Read the sleeve or edge
of the disc. They only have the right to watch or listen to it, so it's
not the same issue.

My computer is capable of playing 4K Blu-Rays and it is only three
years old.-a Is it just you are too cheap to spend $100 USD for a
quality external optical drive?-a Weather the drive is internal or
external is not relevant, drives are available...and I can play said
media on my computer.
As for what you think you are entitled to, put that belief in one
hand, a pile of shit in the other hand, and see which hand fills up
first.
I got an external DVD-burner for my computer a few years ago. I didn't
bother with Blu-ray at that time because they were a lot more expensive
and I didn't have any Blu-ray disks to play anyway.
I think at this point the drives will play everything, and the 4K
Blu-ray drive I bought three years ago cost me just about $100 USD and
works like a charm. I've seen them as high as $200, but I didn't see
the need to spend that much.

This one will:

and this is just at Micro Center's Dallas store. I bet they have some

Oh, look, here's another one that will:

So, you have two options:
1. Go buy one of these two drives that will play the media you want them to.
or
2. Sit in the corner, sulk, whinge, whine, and play victim while the
rest of us go on without you.

I already explained to you why it won't play 4K discs on a modern
computer without hacking the firmware in order to rip the disc, but it
is clear that you either can't read or can't understand English very well.
The CPU instructions which are needed to enable 4K playback were never included in any AMD CPU and Intel removed them from its CPUs after the
10th generation and they were never present in any generation before the 7th.
After that the arse licking manufacturers all replaced the firmware that could be hacked to rip 4K discs with encrypted firmware which couldn't. Therefore it is impossible to play or even rip 4K blu-rays in order to
watch them on your PC.

Yep, it iscomplete nonsense, as usual by the village idiot. Standard
Windows OS stopped supporting Blu-ray, but there are other third party Blu-ray player apps around.
-a-a "Windows Media Player does not support Blu-ray discs. If you
-a-a-a would like to play a Blu-ray movie on your Windows PC or
-a-a-a laptop, you will need to download a Blu-ray player for
-a-a-a Windows 11, such as PowerDVD."
Apple never suported Blu-ray discs in MacOS, but again there are third
party player apps around that let you easily watch them.
It cerainly has absolutely nothing to do with the CPUs - whether that's Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon, or anything else.

I didn't want to jump into this earlier on my tea break but I
think there actually is something about new PC's not being able
to play 4K Blu-rays natively out of the box anymore. But I am
not 100% on that, but it is something that I have read about in
other places.
It wouldn't surprise me though, as the big entertainment
companies do seem to want to push the world down the streaming
media route...

As usual, when you've been proven wrong, resort to ad hominems.
The CPU instructions which are needed to enable 4K playback were
never included in any AMD CPU and Intel removed them from its CPUs
after the 10th generation and they were never present in any
generation before the 7th.
After that the arse licking manufacturers all replaced the firmware
that could be hacked to rip 4K discs with encrypted firmware which
couldn't. Therefore it is impossible to play or even rip 4K blu-rays
in order to watch them on your PC.
Right...keep holding onto that fantasy if it makes you feel better.
Yep, it iscomplete nonsense, as usual by the village idiot. Standard
Windows OS stopped supporting Blu-ray, but there are other third party
Blu-ray player apps around.

Stop showing your complete and utter stupidity and lack of intelligence
and comprehension.
This has nothing to do with Windows or Apple. There are NO modern CPUs--
that can decrypt 4K blu-rays PERIOD! The last and ONLY CPUs that
supported decryption were Intel 7th to 10th Gen processors and that's
it. Without those chips 4K blu-rays cannot be played on a PC or Mac
unless you can hack the firmware of the player.

It cerainly has absolutely nothing to do with the CPUs - whether
that's Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon, or anything else.
And there are also third party apps around that will rip the discs as
well so you can archive them.-a AVS Video Converter, and AnyDVD are two
that I use, and they do a nice job.

I can honestly say it's my favourite McCoy story.

NONE OF THEM WILL PLAY 4K BLU-RAYS, END OF STORY!
This one will:
NO IT WON'T!
If they claim it will then it is being miss-sold.

As usual, when you've been proven wrong, resort to ad hominems.
The CPU instructions which are needed to enable 4K playback were

Right...keep holding onto that fantasy if it makes you feel better.
Yep, it iscomplete nonsense, as usual by the village idiot. Standard
Windows OS stopped supporting Blu-ray, but there are other third
party Blu-ray player apps around.
-a-a-a "Windows Media Player does not support Blu-ray discs. If you
-a-a-a-a would like to play a Blu-ray movie on your Windows PC or
-a-a-a-a laptop, you will need to download a Blu-ray player for
-a-a-a-a Windows 11, such as PowerDVD."
Apple never suported Blu-ray discs in MacOS, but again there are
third party player apps around that let you easily watch them.

Me too, and in my correction post, I mentioned that I meant to say
MakeMKV instead of the AVS app.
