Guys (and gals), quick question..I have a 27 GB Eagles Farewell Tour in Melbourne, in HDDVD ISO format. File doesn't play in either Dvico or WDTV. File shows up in the Dvico titles list, while the WDTV disses it completely..haha. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

Pardon my ignorance....the original HDDVD iso is 27GB, the copy I have has been compressed to just over 11GB in an mkv container. A while back, while comparing a 1080p Celine Dion Live in Vegas (over 8GB) against the BD iso file (84GB or something), I commented that my eyes were not really able to detect visible differences in PQ, but the AQ was vastly different. I was then made to understand that the AQ was greatly compromised/sacrificed when it was compressed, that the missing GBs was mostly audio data.

Having said that, the copy I have is great, a bit (haha!) lacking in audio bite, but PQ is brilliant. Too bad this concert not released in blu-ray format.

Nit-picking resumes now.....wink.gif

wow!! how many layer Blu-ray celine dion disc is that!!  hmm.gif

as for bitrate, also require the equipment to "see" the highly compressed bitrates..

example, if you have 1080p projector and blow up to 100inches and sitting 1x distance, the differences will be very distinct..

if just watching on 40inch LCD/plasma sitting 8feet back..maybe not much difference depending on eyesight.....  biggrin.gif

Guys, do you suggest me to buy Dvico or standalone BD player to play HD movies and sound?? There is a comparative difference between digital format stored in hard disk and optical disc like bluray disc rite?

Ya lor, but he probably doesn't even know what MCP stands for....takes so little to threaten his...errmmm..."masculinity". Real men are so not affected one iota!..hehe.

I am very happy with my 7000A , and until Dune comes a-poisoning, this will do for now. Although when that happens, I'll have another headache in terms of storage space...ooh best not think about it.

Have a good week y'all.

this is a noob question...

but i have just bought a 1.5TB WD(Green) SATA drive...

do i just plug it right into the side-slot of my dvico 6600 and im good to go?

does it require formatting(like how needed to work on PC? the the dvico does that for me?

If I'm not mistaken, Tan did tell me SATAs need to be formatted, and it can take quite a bit of time too.
