I'm trying out AnyStream and I'm optimistic about using it, but I need more information. I am currently streaming video through a media receiver hooked up to a 1080 projector that is displayed on a 8'x5' screen.
I have compromised vision and this setup generally works for me, but I also want to make Blu-ray discs from 1080p downloads from Amazon/Netflix.
I also have compromised hearing, but enjoy having a 5.1 audio system, even if all of the components are on shelves behind my couch. Yet when downloading movies earlier today, I choose the most advanced audio settings without considering any consequences. In practical terms, which AnyStream audio settings make sense for someone with my setup? Are these setting backward compatible or am I painting myself into a corner by choosing the most advanced audio settings? Do I need to identify which authoring software I'm using before I decide on the audio/subtitle settings?
There is also the issue of closed captions - I would like to have the option of sometimes using them, as well as the option of using English subtitles on some - but not all - foreign films. If I'm burning discs, won't I have to have a menu where I set these preferences or is that controlled differently? How does this affect my subtitle settings on AnyStream? And has anyone used the AnyStream downloads to burn Blu-ray discs and can recommend software?!?!
I believe this forum is the best place to find the information I need about using this software and I appreciate whatever help members can provide. My learning curve in this project is fairly steep, so I - and probably others - would benefit from those who know their way around and can offer advice.
Thank you.
(Today I ran across a problem using the software, but I will post that separately.)
