Bro, I tried once and didnt realize that the copy(Popcorn mkv converter) i downloaded from strange source contains trojan virus.

Anybody can share the correct link to download the Popcorn mkv converter?

download from torrent or rapidshare... try this link to download from rapidshare (www.katz.cd)

Thanks, will try it when I get home.

why go through the hassle of torrent and rs when you can just directly download it from here...

When I got my Hdpro on 26Jun, noticed that the FW is RY Mar31 2010

Anyway upgrade the FW first to version May then Jun 17.


As I have backup of disk, and after reading the upgrading guide provided in May version that it didn't mention about the removal of harddisk. I gave it a try doing the upgrade without removing the harddisk. Wow it works

Save the hassle of unscrewing the unit.

I've upgraded firmware to Jun10 FW as well as the extension packages.

One problem: when BT and Samba turned on, HDPro will hang up while playing movies even though movie is from HDD1. Noticed that network was very busy! Turned off BT and Samba, and everything is working fine.

BTW, I did not have any torrents running from HDPro. So, not very sure what was happening in the background.

Question: Can I turn on Samba without turning on BT?

cannot.. run both..


New firmware 28/6/2010
http://www.4shared.com/file/e0CbiZvT/Hdpro_20100628.html

try this...~

after flash, please restore default.

wat do u mean by after flash, please restore default ?
why must we restore default ?

restore default, avoid any problem happen ...(no color , RCA no sound ..etc.)



JUNE firmware (V4 SDK)

for all batch 1073DD,1073DD+

-Support DTSHD,TrueHD Downmix

if HDMI RAW , AVR will show out "DTS Digital Surround"
LPCM, will downmix.

Previous old version can't play/decode the sound. show "unknow audio".

Added on July 3, 2010, 1:14 amI'm not even sure if the htib can simulate 5.1 from these stereo inputs. So far, i have only use it as standalone. Upgrade? how i wish i could do that.. anyone looking for second hand htib??


BTW, what is an "unknown GMC" error?

Hardware issues.

You will have to reencode the file or convert it to eliminate (or limit the warp of) the GMC portion of the Mpeg Part 2 video stream. A quick wiki search describes the GMC emplementation as:

I screw up my HDPro Samba/BT big time, only manage to make it run again through latest firmware, read my post at:

Somehow restore back to factory default make my Samba/BT run again, strange but it's true!

My AVR only have Digital Coax Input and not Optical

Found one at Harvey Norman Ikano, very expensive about RM170

Anyone knows where else I can get the cable? Am staying at KL.

You can use those common red-white audio cables. Try them out first and see if you can hear any difference compared to those expensive ones.

hdpro got both coaxial and optical digital audio output, and your AVR got coaxial, perfect match, so why do you need to buy RM170 worth of whatever, very puzzling

Currently already using the normal RCA output from Hdpro(those with red-white cable).

Thinking of using the coaxial output from Hdpro to my AVR coaxial input to experience the different. But RM170 for an coaxial is a bit too expensive to try.

Anyone have tried the RCA vs Coaxial? Not sure if RCA can still play DTS 5.1?

for coaxial digital audio, you can use any 75Ω coaxial cable such as RG-6 cable used in astro, even the RCA cable, you do not need to buy RM170 cable

Thanks for your advice.

I keep my RM170 for othes

Are there any significant difference on the sound quality on using ordinary RCA cable vs 75 ohm coaxial vs expensive (>RM100) coaxial audio cable.
If so, what are the diferences?
TQ

RCA cables:


Coaxial cables



As you can see, the difference is shielding...signals from Digital Audio is prone to interference...thats why they use Coaxial or toslinks.
It can also handle more energy than those pasar malam RCA cables for optimum digital transfer.

Difference between normal coaxial RG6U Vs a Monster coaxial RM100 one is the material they used, branding and how many shielding it has.
I once DIY a triple shielding Coaxial, but later found out, a single shield was good enough.
For DIY: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1209686

I swear by Coaxial cables over RCA cause I have experience of major interference cause i need to bundle up my cable due to space constrain.
