    It started with branding. Like CD stands for CompactDisc which was a trademarked brand name using this logo.

    Edit: I’m wrong. There is a patent for an optical disc that precedes CD and Laserdisc and uses the word Disc on the patent

    That’s probably where disc started being used for optical storage. And disk remained being used for magnetic storage.



  • Unlikely, Dolby tech support requires that the license for Vision or Atmos etc has been bought for that particular machine. Never seen a media player where the end user can buy the license separately.

    edit: Also those Android boxes only support DV Profile 5, which is DV used for streaming, If you want to play a UHD BluRay rip in mkv format in the highest quality DV profile, Profile 7 with Full Enhancement Layers, you need to find a Oppo 203 or 205 or one of the clones. Those are basically the only players that can play UHD BD mkv with DV Profile 7 FEL.
