QUOTE(arremie @ Jul 13 2009, 01:07 PM) New version that can play bd iso and bitstream hd audio out. That would be really great. Double the price also no prob. Still bloody cheap. the reference solution for this kind of capability is now around rm400-500 retail range (comparison to egreat and xtreamer).. if double price of current WD then it's overpriced liao.. |

QUOTE(nordingh @ Jul 15 2009, 09:23 AM) Ahh... need to wait until I back to home today to post the picture... wow only RM3? Bought at Selayang Morning market (next to Selayang Police Station) for RM3.00. This one is better cos top and bottom also got 2 pin connector but the material quality not so good. At least can use 3 device in one. I will keep for traveling purpose.  The small thingy  ... look at picture below.... bottom right image with male usb, you can see a small thingy... need to cut that to make a perfect fit. |

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Jul 20 2009, 09:37 PM) So this goes on to show that the 50 inch rule of thumb applies. Many experts believe to fully enjoy Bluray, you need to have at least 50 inch and above screen size to tell the obvious difference. I doubt we can tell much since we are both using 42" screen size...... actually is the viewing cone and screen distance from where you sit....  |

QUOTE(putih @ Jul 23 2009, 11:00 AM) Agreed. But from an average viewing distance of 8.5 ft for 42inch and 10ft for 50 inch, the difference in PQ between 480p and 1080p is VERY noticeable. Of course you need a better TV to see more difference. On midprice LCD, you might see maybe 10% improvement with possible added video noise. But on high end 42incher plasma TVs, you can easily achieve 50% improvement in sharpness, color depth, and contrast without added video noise. So, I suspect a Panasonic plasma 42S10 can show significant difference when playing blu-ray compared to DVD. yes agreed.. at these avg distances, can see the differences.. |

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Aug 1 2009, 12:15 AM) I am one of the many satisfied users of WDTV and enjoyed MKV with great satisfaction. But one thing for sure, MKV can never match the standard set by Bluray. Even those untouched m2ts or BD ISO files are quite close to BD but still not quite there yet, maybe just 85% of the BD quality. I guess you can notice it easily on 50" above full hd big screen....... err. hello??... BD-ISO = Blu-ray.. difference is just, one resides on your HDD and the other, data is on a physical disc.. both are the same as far as data is concern.. |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Aug 2 2009, 02:01 PM) I see many guys don't really understand mkv, avi, m2ts are just a AV container, it is nothing to do with the picture quality. the one determines the quality is the video encoder and the bit rate, such as using h.264, VC-1 or Mpeg-2, higher bit rate also normally associate with good picture quality, a good quality bluray disc can have 20mpbs bit rate, while DVD only has 2-4mbps bit rate acterly.. there are some rules to each container..I can make a mkv movie PQ as good as bluray, I can even do 1 to 1 stream copy. MKV file size normally less than bluray disc size is because people ripped off those unwanted audio channel such as AC-3, commentary, trailer, etc. can we make MKV file, whose audio is TrueHD or DTS-MA like m2TS can?? so I wouldn;'t say MKV can be as good as Blu-ray m2Ts container it just serves different purposes..cheers.. but agree with you if MKV is 4-8GB then there will be some detail / quality loss compared to the actual blu-ray files..

QUOTE(Kiding @ Aug 2 2009, 02:30 PM) That's why I said PQ (Picture Quality) is AS GOOD AS bluray because you said this...I didn't say audio can be as good as bluray for MKV   I see many guys don't really understand mkv, avi, m2ts are just a AV container, it is nothing to do with the picture quality without mentioning that while PQ can be similar depending on bitrate/codecs, same can't be said about AQ for different containers.... just being thorough with the details.. cheers..

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Aug 2 2009, 07:14 PM) I sometimes confused BD ISO same as complete ripped bluray....Ok, I wont make that mistake agian bro..........hehe. bro, if you launch the BD-ISO.. you will see the BDMV folder, inside there is the largest m2ts file.. that's the main video file.. hence for this instance of playing BD-ISO vs the same copy of m2ts found in this same BD-iso, the result is the same.But I dont agreed mkv or fully ripped m2ts files can match the PQ of Bluray no matter how we increase the bitrates. It can be close but not up to 100% yet. the reason why m2ts feels like not as goods is because many media players (standalone ones or software players) decode the standard audio track only, with no option to decode or bitstream the lossless portion..... hence it feels like it's not really HD audio for m2ts.. but actually it's all there.. |
