I have already posted the details before. Maybe you should go back through the previous posts. FYI, The other players which can display Blu-ray menus are even more expensive than the BD1

Bro, someone selling AC Ryan told me that the device can read bluray iso... is it the same thing you mentioned about BD1?

You really should go back and read what I have posted before. I can't be repeating everything I have said before . Hope you take the trouble to read it

Ok, one last time, this was what I posted just 3 or 4 posts above :-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I have told you before, since your budget is low, do you really need HD Audio? If you do, you have to pay RM1.1 K for the BD1 player and on top of that you have to buy an AVR which supports HD Audio which will cost you another RM1.5K. And what about your speaker system ?

Secondly regarding BD Menus, the BD1 has the advantage to activate those menus in m2ts and BD.iso files. But like I mentioned before, the other cheaper media players (like the POHD) can also play those fiiles, but only disadvantage is they can't display the menus. (please don't confuse with DVD menus, which all the players cheap or expensive can display).

Also take note that MKVs don't contain any menus, so even the expensive players like the BD1 won't be able to do anything about it.

Next point is do you want to play RMVB files ? Because the BD1 can't play those files.

update- BD1 I tested at shop
---------------------------------
It also can't play VCD files which the cheaper players (POHD) can.

The player specs said can play .dat (VCD) files, but when I tested at the shop the BD1 can't even recognise and list the files with .dat extension. Maybe this is a bug (Not that I am expecting enyone to play VCD files on this player, except me of course, for my Karaoke collection ). )

Also I tried to browse DVD folders but again it didn't allow that feature (even when system settings was set to browse (General). Another bug?

Then I tried to play 2 of the DVD I copied to my External HDD. One of them played successfully. The other (Jet Li's "Hero" double Layer copy) couldn't play. The menus appeared though, but pressing play or sellecting a chapter kicked back to the Menu after a brief moment.). This movie didn't have any problems whatsoevr playing on the cheaper Players.

The BD playback was of course problem free , whch is what this player's main purpose is for.

Hi Ngto, yes,.. fully under-sa-tand liow & ten-kiu.

Here's what i wanna do:-
- Just get the HD N1 for normal playback and forget about expensip sound system. Cant afford liow as I am buying new car.

Not that you can't afford. Only that your priority is different

Don't worry , play around with your player first. Stick to mostly MKV for now (maybe can try out some m2ts/BD.iso if you like). MKV quality and sound are good enough and the files are quite easily available. On the other hand , M2ts and BD.iso files are not that many yet and not easily available, unless you know how to get them. They are more expensive too if you are buying from someone and each file size average around 40GB+ and take up a lot of your HD space. (MKV file size only average 8-10GB).

Next time got more money then can buy HD Audio AVR and media players like BD1. By that time price already much cheaper.
