It's infinitely superior or the RTD garbage

Since I already own the original VHS release I should be

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.

He also did the opening narration, listened to some Jazz,
operated the TARDIS console, soniced the box that the Master's
remains were placed in by the Daleks, and writhed and reeled
on the operating table screaming out for the doctors not to
insert a catheter into his heart.

My computer is capable of playing 4K Blu-Rays and it is only three

quality external optical drive? Weather the drive is internal or
external is not relevant, drives are available...and I can play said

Hey, Aggy, I'm guessing that, like the rest of the posters here-abouts, you've brought a car sometime in the past.
Do you expect those manufactures/retailers to supply you with a new car every year?? Three years?? Five years?? Ten years??

They do that if you lease the car instead of buying it, but it is a
hideously expensive way of having a car. You can also do similar plans
for mobile phones, computers, etc.?? :-)
But do we believe Aggy will have leased his gear?? Me! No way!!
Streaming / ditigal subscriptions are similar - you always get the
newest version ... until they suddenly decide to stop hosting it.

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 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.

Just torrent it like you do all your other stuff!
I think it's more he's too cheap to spring for a good external
optical drive...which aren't that expensive.
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.
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.
[yawn]
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.
ÿÿ "Windows Media Player does not support Blu-ray discs. If you
ÿÿÿ would like to play a Blu-ray movie on your Windows PC or
ÿÿÿ laptop, you will need to download a Blu-ray player for
ÿÿÿ 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.
