Works an absolute treat, I cheated and bought it mostly configured though sure I could do it if I had more time/energy</p></blockquote>
Yeah that's what I'm using too. Only disappointment so far is lack of Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master but otherwise, it's bloody brilliant. -
<p>I really like MPC-HC with MadVR.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Supports edge directed interpolation methods for upscaling, and 3D LUTs for colour correction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is one limitation:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DTS Express cannot be bitstreamed and only be decoded when using the ArcSoft DTS Decoder.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think I've come across DTS Express yet though.</p> -
<p>On the subject of documentaries, there are 90 minute docos "branded" on the BBC as "Storyville" - I'm yet to watch one that doesn't have me captivated</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cartel Wars - Mexicans make Columbians look like a playgroup. Amazing story of Mr Mirales and corruption.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lockerbie Pan Am bomb - dude whose brother died on that flight investigates who really did it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FBI Undercover - appalling tale of the US being dead set hypocrites, entrapping would be terrorists just to get TV soundbites and preserve their scare-mongering. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Others dealing with fraudulent magicians, killer whales in captivity, Lance Armstrong - <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville_(TV_series)'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville_(TV_series)</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of others too, and to my naive mind they do a pretty good job of laying out the facts</p> -

<p>You might like this, I read it a few weeks back. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/28/the-avenger'>http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/28/the-avenger</a></p> -
<p>If you want to watch an engrossing and intense(!) documentary about Mexico and the Cartels, I highly recommend <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4126304/'><em>Cartel Land</em></a>.</p>

<p>Thanks Tim, that's the one I meant. Quite a ride as you see some hope from the Mexican side with a people's militia that takes back land from the cartels ...</p> -
<p>Was the Lance Armstrong one called The Armstrong Lie?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I highly recommend the director's Jack Abramoff documentary. Michael Scanlon cracks me up every time.</p>

<p>"Stop at nothing" the one on the BBC Storyville series Tim</p> -
<p>Yea, I've watched both those Armstrong ones. Both good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mr Robot is quite, well, interesting. Episode 4 where it was basically a withdrawal induced hallucination was quite weird. </p> -
<p>Yeah IIRC that is a farked up ep, don't think any others are in that way.</p>
-
<p>Started The Last Kingdom, BBC2 adaptation of Bernard Cornwell series about Uthred of Bebbanburg and the creation of King Alred's England. This series will cover the first two books of the series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good first episode, introduced all the main characters, and one particular scene got Mrs DK's attention, you'll know it when you see it.</p> -

<p>Anyone watching Jessica Jones on Netflix?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty good stuff I much prefer it to daredevil.</p>

<p>Yeah have watched it all, really got into it - although it's fucking frustrating when there's moments she could use her "powers" and just doesn't for no apparent reason. How many times does the baddy get away and she just fucks around, not even chasing?</p>
