Yes, all their existing BDP will be able to play MKVs via firmware update.

At IFA, Samsung didn't introduce new Blu-ray players, but it announced that player models BD-P1600, BD-P3600 and BD-P4600 will support YouTube and the MKV file format. Existing players will be able to access those features by upgrading the firmware. The company plans to launch BD recorders in 2010, and is holding a wait-and-see stance towards 3-D.

MKV was once considered as underground codec container, only used for HD ripping originally which means piracy (though one can argue about using it to backup your physical discs). No videocam can record and save the video as MKV, so no playback functions also available to mainstream media players, including PS3. But now it looks like MKV is starting to appear, which is good news.

I am still pondering abt making Oppo available domestically. Still worry that amateur mistaken it as cap ayam

Don't worry bro, it's not meant for amateurs anyway. Just bring it in, the "professionals" will come looking for you.

Audiophile dedicated brands makes us "professionals" feel special. The general public will never ever hear about these brands, they always see names like Panasonic, Sony, etc.

oooo the samsung BD-P1600 sounds like a good buy with its usb ports and ability to play mkvs .... the only challenge is the flip down cover at the front, where one of the usb port is located, kinda cumbersome tongue.gif

im also considering one, either this or the sony 360 as i have an older avr; i am hoping that this will solve my dtsHD or dtrueHD issue. but i am unsure, both these two units can decode the dtsHD or dtrueHD, i read, but can it pass them to my old avr via coaxial and be played?
*
Coaxial can't carry HD audio because of the bandwidth limitation, you'll only get lossy DTS/Dolby Digital if you bitstream, and stereo if you send multi-channel PCM. Check the second post in the BD thread for more info.

If your AVR doesn't have HDMI, your last option is analogue multi-channel connection. This method you'll need to get a BD player with multi-channel analogue ouputs. Don't think the Sony BDP-S360 has that, not sure about the Samsungs though.

but I don't think PQ/AQ cant even be 5% better than the BD-60 but have to pay twice the price?  hmm.gif

How about the the heavily damped, brass-and-aluminum mechanism, 66 pounds, four spring-loaded legs suspension on its own dedicated table Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue BD player? Will the PQ/AQ be 5% better as we have to pay 500 times the price of BD60? laugh.gif

At $135k it doesn't support DVD-A or SACD, or even BD-Live. laugh.gif

Don't know what pro means in the consumer electronics world. Just that Htkaki refers to amateurs, so the correct counterpart that came to my mind was professionals. tongue.gif

wah so rich..  thumbup.gif  nothing else to upgrade so upgrade the load times..

All features I need already there on almost every player. When you bitstream the player doesn't matter anymore, still the same AVR doing the decoding. PQ, oh well, honestly I don't see much improvement can be done already, not anything I will notice immediately anyway. tongue.gif

All other features like MKV, etc is not most important for me. smile.gif

is firmware 3.0 same as 3.01 3 as reported?

3.01 is optional. I think it only fix issues with certain games freezing, like Uncharted.

If it's optional then you can play online, go to PSN, etc without updating the firmware. smile.gif
