Standard built-in TV apps (like Plex on an LG or Samsung TV) often fail to parse lossless audio formats like TrueHD. Media players like the Nvidia Shield TV Pro , Apple TV 4K (with the Infuse app), or specialized hobbyist boxes like Zidoo and Dune HD are required to handle the high bitrates and passthrough audio.
Still widely considered the king of local playback. It natively handles bitstreaming of Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) and DTS:X, and easily decodes massive 4K HEVC FraMeSToR files.
Remux-FraMeSToR is ideal if:
At first glance, a REMUX is a REMUX, right? If you take the video from Disc A and put it in an MKV, it should look the same regardless of who did it. In theory, yes. In practice, no.
Their work is almost exclusively Remuxes —lossless copies of retail Blu-ray discs where the video and audio data are "stripped" from the original disc and placed into a single file (usually .mkv ) without any re-encoding. Remux-framestor
Because Remux-Framestor files are large and high-bitrate, you need capable hardware to play them without stuttering.
In the context of high-quality digital media releases, is one of the most respected internal release groups, primarily operating out of the private tracker BeyondHD . They specialize in Remuxes , which are bit-for-bit copies of the video and audio data from a physical Blu-ray or UHD disc, stripped of menus and trailers but keeping the original quality intact.
A raw BluRay folder structure might be 70GB. A REMUX might be 65GB. An encode might be 15GB. The REMUX retains 100% of the grain, the dynamic range (HDR10/DV), and the bitrate.
Remux-framestor is a powerful, open-source tool designed for remuxing and frame storing video files. In simple terms, it allows users to repackage video files from one container format to another without re-encoding the video and audio streams. This process, known as remuxing, enables seamless conversion between different container formats, such as MKV, MP4, AVI, and more. Standard built-in TV apps (like Plex on an
You cannot appreciate without addressing the elephant in the room: Storage .
Mapping High Dynamic Range (HDR10) and Dolby Vision from a 4K UHD Blu-ray into an MKV container is highly complex. Early or amateur remuxes often lose the Dolby Vision dynamic metadata (MEL or FEL layers), dropping the video back down to basic HDR10. FraMeSToR was among the pioneers in mastering the preservation of dual-layer Dolby Vision within the MKV format, ensuring your high-end OLED or QD-OLED TV utilizes its full hardware capabilities. 2. Complete Audio Preservation
: Because the streams are not compressed like standard streaming or "rips," they maintain the original disc quality.
: To play these smoothly without buffering, you need a high-speed local network and a capable client like a Nvidia Shield TV Pro or Apple TV 4K (with Infuse). It natively handles bitstreaming of Dolby Atmos (TrueHD)
If you own a high-end display and audio setup, and you have the storage space (files often exceed 50-80 GB), FraMeSToR is the gold standard. It is the "reference disc" of the digital world.
Handling modern High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats is complex. A standard rip can easily break the dynamic metadata required for Dolby Vision (Profile 7 or Profile 8) or HDR10+. FraMeSToR ensures that all layers of HDR metadata remain perfectly intact, allowing high-end OLED TVs and projectors to map colors exactly as the director intended. 3. Pristine Subtitle Inclusion
Streaming platforms compress audio to Dolby Digital Plus (640 kbps or lower). A Remux-Framestor keeps the original or DTS-HD Master Audio track, which can reach speeds of 4--8 Mbps. This provides a fuller, more immersive, and more dynamic sound. C. Dolby Vision & HDR10+
A "Remux" is a lossless rip of a physical disc. Unlike a standard "encode" (like a 10GB–20GB x265 file), a remux does not compress the video or audio to save space. Instead, it takes the raw data directly from the Blu-ray and places it into a more convenient file container, usually .
