my bad.

so which one you buy?

of course your bad lah

congrats bro,
anxiously awaiting your in-depth, photographic, hands-on review

people got no time, still ask for photographic hands-on in depth review ?

his reviews more or less got Attached foto's one la

I see.....Hope it is a nice hands-on in depth review. Anyway jchong is a nice guy!

Wah, I didn't know people expected so much from my reviews

Actually I wasn't planning to post any review on the Xtreamer since I'm not so familiar with media players (can't give any comparisons or experienced views) and besides this Xtreamer is more for my kids (put all their cartoons and kids shows into HDD rather than all the VCDs / DVDs lying around now).

I also did this partly for my kids VCD and DVD. But mostly also for myself to watch HD stuff.

I'm not so worried about HD stuff because I have my BD player for that. Still waiting for a player that can handle bd.iso flawlessly then I might migrate over to that and save on buying BDs.

if play kids stuff in sd and dvdiso rm200 player cukup lor.

Well, I might want to use the Xtreamer once in a while also and experiment with mkv, etc... so I thought to get something better. Network connectivity was also something I wanted.

It'll be some time before uncle ho reaches RM10. Yeah, bd.iso also needs hdd, etc. Nothing is free... but some things are cheaper than others I guess. One thing I like about bd.iso is the convenience of many titles in one HDD (no need to eject/load disc) and much faster loading.

Keep your finger crossed to play BD ISO. Now still not fully release the power of HD Audio. BD ISO will be supported in Firmware 2.0 which is due to release next Friday.

I just try out 2.0b4 firmware (beta v2). Network speed issue had been solved. I try both high bitrate mkv and m2ts file (35Gb blu-ray movie) and it works without any stuttering. As currently it's not connected to my amp, I can't test the HD audio passthrough but TrueHD can be downmix to 2 channel output directly to tv.

peirreye, you tried on wireless or wired network? if wired network, are u using NFS? have u try the birds screen @ planet earth?

Glad to hear this Xtreamer is solving its issue fast enough. Just read out the Release Notes for 2.0Beta4 last night. Have not tried it out though.

I'm using wired connection. I only have G wireless so I don't think that would be enough bandwidth for 1080p. Didn't try planet earth but others 1080p mkv and m2ts is working fine. Previously all 1080p material will stutter on 1.0.3 firmware. I try both NFS and Windows share, no problem at all. Last thing to try is TrueHD and DTS-MA passthrough.

How u guys managed to get the f/w 2.0 beta to try out?
I want to try so hard yet not able to get

I think you have not tried hard enough.

aiyah. why beta when the official one may release in 1 week time. as u know, beta still got bugs one.

from the Xtreamer forum, look like we may not get the HD audio passthru in FW2.0, knn. something got to do with licensing issue.

Today I just saw for the first time, Dolby True HD shown on the movie info while playing it.
