hope the next generation would support
btw, high-end new sigma emerge yet?

I prefet Realtek, better sound quality

Quick update: Realtek 1186 based media player does not clip WTW (Whiter than white) anymore. As I test the accuracy of the chipset, I will report.

can someone recommend a HD media player that can

1. play MKV format
2. sync wirelessly or buffer wirelessly from my pc
3. can torrent?

3rd is optional, hopefully can be below rm600

who has any news about RTD1187?

If you don't need to have internal HDD capability, suggest the HiMedia HD900A. It can playback full HD material from PC without lag. Mine was with HD900A with WiFi version. More info on HiMedia:

You can pm ccs221 or toratorabluray for a deal..

Realtek definitely my choice though not as updated in certain features

Can Realtek 1185 and 1186 chipset play mkv/m2ts 1080p frame rate 23.976hz with HDMI output native frame rate like Sigma chipset?

Yes

Thanks, seems like Realtek chipset frame rate issue only happen in NTSC land.

I'm not sure what's the issue but at least when I set my HiMedia HD900A to HDMI Auto mode, my TV display it as 1080P 24 when I playback the 23.976Hz mkv or m2ts material..

News from AVS forum regarding new realtek chipset playback 23.976fps it will add frame to 24hz not a true frame rate sent to TV info will display as 1080p 24hz according to AVS forum player is inserting an extra frame every 1000 frame on all 23.976 material every 42secs it will cause micro stuttering if you can notice it or maybe your TV auto frame cadence it to 3:2 convert back to 24hz to their native frame rate. They are reverting back to previous firmware 1.0.1.13 which is able to playback output true frame for 2D material but for 3D still at 24hz.

Just curious check mine which is old realtek 1073DD chipset playback 23.976fps with HDMI Auto mode and 24hz set ON but my projector info display show 1080p 24hz. Time to upgrade new realtek 1186 but playback frame rate not stable and for sigma chipset can set HDMI specific 1080p 23.976 but expensive.

Life is too short for me. I love to watch movies but can't spend too much hours in front of the idiot box.

Sometimes on PC, I watched movies with increased speed, say 1.5X to 1.7X so that I can finished the movie during lunch-time.

Does any media players has such feature?

Friends,

Just curious any1 encounter this problem before??

When u play the movie using PC(media player classic), u can switch the subtitle freely and it appear correctly during the movie was playing
But when u play using the media player, even though there is an option for u to switch the subtitle, but somehow it won't appear or sometimes only 1 type of subtitle can be display.....

any1 know what is this problem or solution to it?

is the naming convention correct?
is it embedded in mkv? correct encoding?
