Am I the only one disappointed in the practice of only including the Atmos audio track on the 4K version of the Bluray and not the regular Bluray that has become a common practice? As someone who has a Atmos hometheater with a 1080p projector I need to shell out the extra $10 for the 4K version. Now I see why you would want to get the 4K version anyways for future use but I guess I still think it is a shady practice.

Agreed 100%, but it's a practice that has precedent in the industry.  Disc sales are pretty bad these days, and UHD hasn't caught on as much as they'd like, so I guess they're doing what they can to upsell.  I wouldn't mind it so much if the BRD included in the UHD packaging had an Atmos track, but that would require a whole other disc to be produced (and they love reusing discs).

Not to mention that software to decrypt AACS 2.0 isn't readily available or has a high cost which only forces people to get their digital copies from "other" sources. Maybe once I can rip a UHD Bluray myself easily I won't mind purchasing them as much but right now I'm not too happy about it.

You just need to make sure your optical drive supports triple layer discs. Other than that, ripping is easy.

Does DVDfab work with protected UHD Blurays?

 

Last I heard the only software to work with AACS 2.0 is DeUHD which is very new and expensive.

This...and DeUHD isn't a "decrypt everything" solution as of yet.  It also requires specific drives, etc.  There is some progress being made outside of it, but the keys are trickling out very slowly and has even tighter drive/model/firmware restrictions.

Interesting. I'll have to keep watch on that. I must confess, that I haven't actually tried to. But now I want to....just because... Lol
