Blu-ray.com Exclusive: Blu-ray Player Benchmarks


*Table by aiman04


*Chart by Y3k Bug

Power on time:
Measures the time the player takes, in seconds, to power on from the remote control and to convey that it is ready to work via the HDTV display. The lower the number the better.

Disc Eject Time:
This test measures the amount of time it takes, in seconds, for a player to fully eject the disc tray while playing a Blu-ray movie. The lower the number the better.

Movie Load Time – Basic:
Measures the amount of time, in seconds, that a player takes to load a film, encoded without Java or BD+, from the time the disc tray starts closing to the time that content appears on the screen. BD drive speed can impact this number. The lower the number the better.

Movie Load Time - BD-J:
Measures the amount of time a player takes, in seconds, to load a film, encoded with BD-Java, from the time the disc tray starts closing to the time that content appears on the screen. BD drive speed can impact this number. The lower the number the better.

Movie Load Time – BD+:
Measures the amount of time a player takes, in seconds, to load a film, encoded with BD+ copy protection, from the time the disc tray starts closing to the time that content appears on the screen. BD drive speed can impact this number. The lower the number the better.

BD-J Overall Performance:
This measurement calculates the player's overall ability to efficiently execute BD-Java content. This will affect the player's smoothness of menus, games, and other features using BD-J. Some players will not execute this benchmark and are marked with a red “NO” in the performance section. A "NO" rating does not indicate poor performance, but simply that the player in question does not support the form of media that the test disc is recorded on. The higher the number the better.

The following tests measure player's BD-Java graphics abilities. These numbers show how efficient the player will be at loading and navigating menus as well as Java based games.

BD-J Small Object Performance:
Measures smoothness and speed of small Java graphic objects – the higher the number the better.

BD-J Large Object Performance:
Measures smoothness and speed of larger Java graphic objects - the higher the number the better.

BD-J Scaling Performance:
This test measures the player's ability to scale Java graphics for BD menus and games. The higher the number the better.

BD-J Opacity Performance:
This measurement calculates the player's ability to render graphics that are opaque. The higher the number the better.

WALL-E today release

Gd morning to taukeh sekalian.

izmel_s, you are pretty quick in getting that from mega. Travel all the way up to get it yesterday?

Yawn. A new thread already.... woot

Here's a little info for you guys, to save some budget and take advantage of the currency situation right now. My credit card charged me the GBP rate at 5.37 for my recent LOTR DVD purchase. For Band of Brothers:

UK: £29.77 + £3.58 = £33.35 (*5.45) = RM181.76
US: $54.99 + $8.98 = $63.97 (*3.65) = RM233.49

Also, if you don't want the extras and Animatrix, you can also save by ordering the UK version:

UK: £25.51 + £3.58 = £29.09 (*5.45) = RM158.54
US: $74.99 + $8.98 = $83.97 (*3.65) = RM306.49

This is based on standard shipping method. As you guys know, almost all of the time the UK shipment will arrive around 1 week only, while US shipment will arrive between 2 weeks (if you're lucky) and up to 6 weeks. There are same risks for both UK/US. The shipping rate will get cheaper with additional titles, for both UK/US.

Warner Bros always use the same transfer if they're handling both region's release, and they're always region free. So the PQ/AQ should be the same. Warner's Beowulf release in UK got 5 star PQ/AQ even though Paramount never released it in US at that time because of their HD DVD exclusive. Also, there is only one case reported here about AQ difference, and that was Paramount's Transformers.

So, it's up to you.
