cant do TrueHD, and seems to be outputting the DTS core only despite knowing and labeling it as DTS-MA track on audio track selection.. (not DTS-MA)... also half baked..  biggrin.gif

What media player is not "half baked"?...less than 1K

expecting too much for below 1k is also half baked..  biggrin.gif

(seriously I think no solution yet unless next year the intel 32nm chips - with integrated graphics (unmolested HD audio capable) come out then HTPC with HD audio and low cost might be reality)

How abt the HDX1000?..currently is going for USD199 (not including Shipping)
Its using Sigma Designs SMP8635 C unlike the unreleased HDXDBone suppose to use Sigma 8642.

2891 is in Beta version meaning to say it is still in testing stage and prone to have some bugs.

If you wake up one morning and find that your HDD is empty..that one is a major bug.

to be fair, the FW have the courtesy to ask before formatting.. so can't blame the firmware if you accept to format..  laugh.gif

yeah, it did ask, cos the hardisk has been wiped clean (like post #2012) brows.gif

dunno,.. maybe it;s still there?.. user should have verified via PC..

some PC also liddat, you plug in the HDD and it's reported as empty asks you to format, and when transfer to another PC, the contents still there...
*
yeah bro..I understand..sometimes it happens..but during that one particular time, ppl. get a shock of their lives end up formatting everything again.
Even if the files might actually still in there. doh.gif

hello sifu's

soree OT a bit

what is remux, and roughly what is missing from full BD

gracias
*
Remux short form for Re multiplexing...meaning demux first, then remux it back...but ppl seldom use the word demux

What the whole process does is actually separate the video, audio, sub etc from the Video file. Then you can choose which language you need and what subs to add it, attach or take out...after that, mux it back together to make it into the Video file again.
But nowadays it does not only do that, there are many other features added in into the Remux software...example is changing variable bitrates, adding chapters, change audio etc.

Some of the popular Remux software:

etc

rarely need to do those now unless media player is crap.

QUOTE(moomoos @ Jan 19 2010, 05:50 PM)
thanks,

from the understanding,
say a 50GB file
and if remove certain audio languages, subs, extras... the file will be lesser (say 25GB) ... rite,

in that case the Remux version and the Ori BD vesrion for AQ & PQ shud be more or less identical (+- few % tolerance)
is that rite....

mucho gracias

can save on terrabytes meaning saving $$$ tongue.gif

For us..main reason to remux is not for space saving, but to make it easier for budget media player to play those 'hard to play' movies.
ar118 has a point there.

But Remux meaning for an Encoder is different...those movies encoders uses it to add subtitles, add/remove HD audio, extract video from Bluray for VC-1...the meaning very wide.

Very informative azbro!  thumbup.gif

haha..I know all this cause I own a crap sarotech....need to remux most of the time to remove second audio and stabilize the bitrates..
If not hang, audio cutout etc...

But nowadays I see that most encoders are keeping below 9gb for most new movies...meaning more friendly to the budget media players.
