    I wonder what the Predator transfer is from. The want dnr botched remaster?

    • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 07:11

      Yeah, I’m not sure. Usually iTunes upgrades purchase to whatever the newest transfer of the film is, so hopefully if it is a botched transfer then another will become available in time.

      Should be the real deal according to http://realorfake4k.com/my-product/predator/

      • Shot on 35mm
      • Digital Intermediate at 4K

        Ooo nice site - thanks!

      • jlogic on 11/02/2018 - 20:24

        Make sure you check that site for true 4K. Many CGI is done at 2K and then down sampled for 1080 resolution and for 4K it’s upsampled so it’s not true 4K.

  • Higibbo on 11/02/2018 - 07:31

    Is there an easy way to find all 4K movies? I know there’s a 4K HDR section. But don’t see anything for normal 4K.

    • Higibbo on 11/02/2018 - 11:32

      To answer my own question, you can use Siri to “show me movies in 4K “ and it will show them along the bottom of the screen

  • 7hil on 11/02/2018 - 07:35

    La La Land isn’t 4K

    • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 07:52
      +1

      That’s strange it’s showing as HD at the moment because it is definitely usually 4K on iTunes. Doesn’t really matter, any HD copies you buy are automatically upgraded to 4K anyway so once it returns to 4K you’ll have that for the $4.99 purchase price.

      • 7hil on 11/02/2018 - 11:54

        It’s been 4K on the US store for ages but it’s never been 4K on the Oz store.

        • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 11:58

          Interesting, that must have been where I saw it 4K earlier. Even so, it will obviously become 4K on the AU store eventually so might as well get it cheap now and wait for the free upgrade.

        • AustriaBargain on 11/02/2018 - 16:21

          Maybe the Oceanic Blu Ray distributor has exclusive rights for 4K La La Land. Or maybe someone at Apple forgot to tick the 4K box when going through the processing form for this movie for Australia.

      • quarrymaster on 11/02/2018 - 17:04

        If I searched for “4K” on iTunes, La La Land comes up, but does not explicitly say so when you zoom in…

    Predator is a good transfer. Very grainy.

    • mlburnian on 11/02/2018 - 09:39

      How is grainy good

        Lots of people (not myself) prefer the film grain to remain.

        • mlburnian on 11/02/2018 - 11:00

          Yes, I have read, the problem is, at 4k,its greatly exacerbated

        Grain is how film stock is meant to look. It’s a sign of a clean transfer with minimal digital interference.

      • AustriaBargain on 11/02/2018 - 16:24
        +3

        The film grain was there in the first place. It's possible that if the director thought there was going to be no film grain at all when the movie wad being recorded, that they would have composed some shots differently. Film grain can really change how a movie looks. You may as well talk about painting over the Mona Lisa with brighter coloured paint when you talk about removing film grain for HD remasters.

    • Mobe1969 on 11/02/2018 - 17:57

      Ah nice so it isn't from that abominable waxy dnr remaster http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Predator-Blu-ray/11375/#Review

  • Tm15 on 11/02/2018 - 08:18

    Is the only way to watch them in 4k with the new apple tv?

    • Higibbo on 11/02/2018 - 08:47

      'fraid so

      You can play HDR content, with a slightly higher than HD resolution on the iPad Pro and iPhone X, but only the Apple TV 4K can currently play 4K HDR. Most likely updates will come to iTunes later this year to allow 4K playback on Mac/PC though.

      • AustriaBargain on 11/02/2018 - 16:25

        What about the iMac Pro?

        • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 17:14

          Not currently, chances are there will be an update in the next version of iTunes.

        • AustriaBargain on 11/02/2018 - 17:15
          +1

          oh well, not like I can afford an iMac pro anyway

    • shavi on 11/02/2018 - 12:34

      And I believe you have to have internet fast enough to stream, as you can't download to the Apple TV first and then watch.

      • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 13:07

        The quality of the video will scale to accomodate your Internet speed, or you can pause and buffer for better quality on slow connections. Generally speaking though, you need at least a 25mbps connection to stream at best quality.

        • AlexF on 11/02/2018 - 13:34
          +2

          25mbps connection to stream at best quality.

          in comparison, to just under 40Mb/s for worst quality consumer UHD Bluray.

        • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 14:04

          @AlexF: That’s an oversimplification. Physical media is obviously superior to streaming but Apple’s compression technology and standards are more efficient than 4K Blu-Ray. Most comparison reviews have rated iTunes 4K very highly, with differences in most films only being noticeable if you’re choosing to sit at closer than average viewing distances.

        • AlexF on 11/02/2018 - 14:21
          +3

          @mr_me450:

          Apple’s compression technology and standards are more efficient than 4K Blu-Ray

          both use h.265 for video with (I believe) 4:2:0 chroma compression.

        • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 14:51
          +1

          @AlexF: Again, using those terms alone as a basis for quality is an oversimplification. There are many different ways to encode the H.265 file using different technologies to preserve or discard information that contributes to the overall compressed file. I’m not saying 4K iTunes is as good as a 4K blu-Ray, it’s not, but twice the bitrate does not mean twice as good quality in this case.

        • AlexF on 11/02/2018 - 14:54
          +2

          @mr_me450:

          Again, all things being equal, higher compression results in lower quality; and, Apple "magic" isn't an algorithm.

        • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 14:56
          +3

          @AlexF: That’s the point. All things are NOT equal. And of course the quality is lower, just not particularly noticeably so.

        • AustriaBargain on 11/02/2018 - 17:16
          +1

          blurays can be losslessly remuxed into a lower file size even still.

  • thelastnoob on 11/02/2018 - 12:12
    +1

    How big are these files? I will not accept compressed rubbish under 40Gigs

    • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 13:03
      +5

      The size will obviously depend on the length of the movie. I think they’re encoded at 25mbps using H.265.

    • Agret on 12/02/2018 - 08:49
      +1

      Hard to say since they don't let you download 4K movies onto any device. The only way to watçh them is streaming which makes me think they'd probably be a not very good bitrate.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2018 - 14:52

    Didn't realise that iTunes did 4k. Cheers.

  • sniper on 11/02/2018 - 15:54

    HDR?

    • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 17:10
      +1

      Depends on the film, but yes, most have HDR.

  • CartoonPizza on 11/02/2018 - 16:14

    Home Alone is in 4K?
    I got this years ago in HD from iTunes (For free)
    How do I get the 4K copy on iTunes?

    • quarrymaster on 11/02/2018 - 17:07
      +2

      You can stream it for free if it’s available, automatically updated from your HD purchase.

    • mr_me450 on 11/02/2018 - 17:09
      +2

      Yep, it’s automatically updated to 4K; I got the same free copy, haha.

    • jlogic on 11/02/2018 - 20:25

      Lol the true OzBargainer. Buy stuff and then get around to it later. Like a good Steam sale buy and never play.

      • djmm on 11/02/2018 - 20:43

        Tell me about it. I got so many steam games and actual hard copy of PS4 games sitting around

  • Twisty on 11/02/2018 - 20:32

    How these compare to Ultra Blu-ray 4K Discs ?

  • DEvok on 12/02/2018 - 05:04

    Does the 4K file work for iPads or just for Apple TV?

    • mr_me450 on 12/02/2018 - 07:07
      +1

      iPads don't have 4K screens so the film will just playback in HD. The iPad Pro and iPhone X have HDR capable screens though so any 4K films with HDR will look great on those.
