Nice price Will definitely consider having one when I build my next PC

yeah planning to get one for my simple HTPC to be coupled with a new directx 11 graphic card that will also support TrueHD and DTS HD Master natively by the same card

the stock is abundance - sri comp compuzone all got

So just get this one, and ATI 5xxx card, and a few cheapo parts and you get yourself a BD player - region free somemore.

2x speed only ler

It's just for reading wor, 2x not enough? Want 32x?

Just like DVD-ROM when first launch sure 2x, then slowly duplicate to now dunno how many speed liao

2x sucks.. min also 6x lor..

Yes taikor bd ripper has spoken, ampun tuanku.

RM400 buys you a 6x read with Writer.. much more value don't you think?

RM 400 with LS...

wah your version got LS.. chun..

then, how much 6x reading blu ray player capability will cost?

read above la..

Greatest BD-ROM drive deal ever!! The cheapest BD-ROM drive to date, right? TQ to the original poster who posted this. Amazing news!

i mean 2x reading = RM235, but 6x reading =RM?

read above...

RM400 with lightscribe..

nonsense! as long as it fulfilled the minimum movie playing speed requirement set by BDA its enough! having a 200000x BD ROM will not improve BD movie watching experience!.

Better read speed will improve recordable data transfer! ish ish ish!

dun talk so much, did you buy one yet? and how many BD you got?

wonder what's the minimum gc to play BD? 4850 can?

can, even lower like 4670 also no problem.. for bitstream of lossless audio then require the newest 57XX-58XX cards...

So, setup a HTPC using BD-RW + 5870 + C2D = better than Dune?

thanks, ar; so the issue is trying to get the lossless bitstream out otherwise its DTS only?

the capabilities of the 4XXX series audio is here..

most of these discussion concentrate more in detail about the audio portion which is usually lacking in other PC hardware reviews...

Added on October 14, 2009, 9:10 pmif you got 2500x1600 LCD monitor or high end 9inch CRT G90 Sony projector (90k USD in 2001), with anydvd you can upscale 1920x1080 blu-rays...

I got 30" ACD which runs at 2560x1600, can bor?

you remember the time when normal DVD player comes with normal component SD or svideo out, and then those DVDP with upscaling 720p/1080i capabilities came out and can unlock extra 5-10% more detail from DVDs than even the most expensive 480p SD DVDP...

it's gonna be like this again.. if your display has higher resolution.. and you can upscale blu-rays..

of coz in your case 30inch LCD aint gonna give you much much sitting 8feet away compared to a 50inch 1080p kuro..

That ACD is just a monitor, not a TV ma

Any 50" plasma that runs beyond 1080p resolution?

I mean that distance vs resolution thing still applies.. cos our eyes can't resolve minute details after a certain distance.. unless you got 20:10 vision instead of 20:20..

as for large plasma beyond 1080p or even 2k.. probably not normal products.. industrial range kua..

but I know CRT projectors via VGA connection can do beyond 1080p even back in 2001...

I think Toshiba just demoed their 2160p TV few weeks ago.

talk kok. has nothing to do whatsoever with the capability of the Sony BD ROM to play movie movies.

Yes, it's cheap, but does it reliable?

trust sony.

HD dvd also didn't buy yet.. who TKSS??

Talk kok sing song?

now this is someone classy who doesn't TKSS.. he got 30inch LCD monitor and a classic passola..

I've had this for 4 months already and paid RM 230 for it. Bought it from Low Yat. So far playing blu-rays are excellent. Probably loads as fast as a PS3 (I have one as well). Cool thing about the BD-ROM is ofcourse ripping blu-rays (for backup ofcourse!!)

fyi,

BD ROM 2x faster than 4x DVD ROM


Attached thumbnail(s)

you posted BD write speeds vs DVD read speeds?

BD 2x is also faster than 56x CD?

CABUTS

you use what software to do ripping to what format, iso, m2ts, mkv?
this type of backup will take up a lot of disk space.

i think as long as the movie run smooth be it 2x or whatever it is... i couldnt care less..

as long as purely for BD playback 2x should be sufficient as TS stated..

whether this basic drive at RM230 is worth it compared to the RM400 full spec BD 6x read, 4x writer available now.. that's another matter.. cheers..
(cos for HTPC, most prefer to run with smaller more compact cases , and one optical drive is already taking up space inside the case, so they dun use 2 optical drive)

speaking of HTPC, i must build one, though i have one tvix...

i am wondering if use this as external drive for laptop , can play ? since on LCD monitor it needs hdcp rite?

if you play via your lappy's LCD screen no problem, if you output via your lappy to TV, then require HDCP complaint monitor/TV and also a digital HDCP complaint connection like HDMI out.. or HDCP DVI

and u diam diam kedekut knowledge lol lol

me the hd dvd 'fanboy' had to post this here or no one will know of the drive

Yes. We are all katak bawah tempurung.

i used my friends compaq cq40 to test the notebook HDMI port. whatever on the notebook LCD, can be display on the LCD TV but i can't get the sound. play here play there, still can't get the sound but anyway, it's just stereo out to the AVR.

anybody know how to get the sound?
compliance problems?

The CQ40 HDMI only with video nia...no audio support.

hehe i got the same model too for bedroom usage
was thinking to plug this bd rom as external to watch.
thx to ar188 great knoledge passed down . now i only laptop can play thru

thks the taiko, sifu

been trying n trying, searching n searching.

yup as mpyw said, HDMI for video output via lappy.. for 5.1 sound you need expansion PC cards or USB sound card I think...
