I got myself a unit of LA46C530 last week. Tried to play the only 1080P movie I have(Transformers.II.2009.BluRay.1080p.DTS.x264.dxva-EuReKA) via USB, it keep stucked after playing 30-40 seconds, even after I tried splitting it into multiple parts and plays the later part. I am worried if C530 is not powerful enuf to play 1080P(bitrate too high?? The video is around 22GB). The audio/video is OK so it shouldn't be codec support problem.
Meanwhile I'm still trying to download another 1080P(Avatar), it gonna take a few weeks over my 384kbps streamyx, sigh.

QUOTE(art6969 @ May 9 2010, 11:52 PM) i think maybe your avatar movie ripping problem, coz when im play using my C530, 100% perfect nothing hang I tried to play the movie after I downloaded it without any modification/reencoding. Anyway, I suspect the media player has problem with NTFS cluster size or fragmentation. |

After reading some pro's opinions on wdtv forum, I used acronis to change the NTFS cluster size to 64K(from 4K) and mydefrag to defragment my portable hdd. The viewing experience is superb! |

QUOTE(nasizwan @ May 14 2010, 10:32 AM) nahh havent try with my C530, cause some people said they encountered problems playing it on first few posts. hrmm maybe C530 & C550 are using the same built in media player  i'll try tonight  dammit.. i get free astro beyond but cant install it cause my condo management prohibit individual dish unit!! sigh.. i really wanna see world cup in HD  got any suggestion? I am the guy who had some problems with C530 playing some higher bitrate MKV videos. It is not really the TV problem, I solved it by defragging my portable hdd and increase its NTFS cluster size to 64k. |

QUOTE(nasizwan @ May 21 2010, 10:47 AM) i guess he's referring to C530 since this is C530 thread C550 def 3k and above
Added on May 21, 2010, 3:28 pmuhhh i think its NTSF. Shud i reformat the whole drive? I need to remove all items inside first then reformat? yeah i believe so. it is FAT32. i do not know how to format it to NTSF without the need to re-copy items Go to partitionwizard.com and get the home edition, it is freeware. Windows has built-in 'convert' command to do that without data loss too, but I don't recommend that coz you can't specify the NTFS cluster size as 64k(which is best for huge MKV files). |

Just FYI, c530 has problem(the TV reboots itself) playing mkv with TrueHD audio track inside(which is found in quite many mkv i got so far), even if the default audio track is something else(DTS/AC3). I have to use mkvmerge to remove the TrueHD audio track to make it play the video properly.

QUOTE(art6969 @ May 24 2010, 08:34 AM) samsung media player not support trueHD dude, dont expect this player support everything I don't mean supporting the playback/decoding of trueHD track, the player should at least able to ignore it and just use the default/other audio track like how other external media player does it(some do it via passthrough). |

QUOTE(Calico182 @ Jun 7 2010, 03:56 PM) I got my C530 the other day and I sometimes have problems with mkv files that give a 'Video codec not supported' error. However, when looking at the information in MediaInfo, the file has the same codec as other files which work fine. It sometimes happens with 720p and sometimes with 1080p files. Those files also work fine in VLC, but I want to play them using the built in media player. As an example, in the attached image, the file on the left works fine but the file on the right gives a codec error (I understand there are differences because one is 720p and the other is 1080p, but still the settings for the 1080p should be compatible?). [attachmentid=1614745] Is there some software that I can use to make sure that all files are compatible for the media player (checks bitrate/resolution/codec etc etc) and can convert the file to the correct settings so I know they will always work fine? Thanks! Go google for the software called "idc multi changer", then change the video profile to 4.1 from 5.1. There won't be any loss of quality during playback(no conversion/reencoding involved), it just simply change the profile flag to cheat the media player(built in the samsung lcd) that it can play the video. |

For the AAC-related problems, use heartware's popcorn audioconverter to convert the AAC tracks to AC3. You can refer to the tutorial here, http://audioconverter.heartware.dk/Tutorial/QUOTE(h_bib @ Jul 7 2010, 11:17 PM) This one audio codec problem ^^ » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « D:\MOVIEs\ENGLISH\Iron.Man.2008.720p.nHD.x264.NhaNc3.JwG\Iron.Man.2008.720p.nHD.x264.NhaNc3.JwG.mkv

QUOTE(pablo7 @ Jul 11 2010, 06:16 PM) pardon me to interrupt. really need an advise please. got confuse n in dillema. recently i did survey LCD/Plasma pricing. got confuse to choose either plasma or lcd.  if plasma i do prefer samsung 42"c450. for lcd I lean more toward 40c530 but yesterday I asked the wrong model from one shop. they quoted me around rm25++ for 40c550 including bracket n installation. what's the different between 40c550 and 40c530. which one is a good buying? plasma or lcd? these 3 models, 42c450/40c530/40c550? .. my budget is around rm2800. i do enjoy alot of dwlded hd movies and astro and already have xteamer m/player and 5.1 ht setup for audio. If you can get a 40C550 for <RM3K, just buy it ASAP! The major advantage of C550 over C530 is the support of DLNA. With merely a wi-fi dongle, you can get wireless HD streaming without much efforts. |

QUOTE(vkyip @ Jul 14 2010, 10:22 PM) Would u mind explaining the setup? Thanks. If you have a C550 (NOT C530) which supports DLNA, you actually have 3 options to get wireless streaming working. 1. Buy the original LinkStick wi-fi dongle from Samsung (very very expensive, but confirm works) 2. Connect the LAN cable from TV to a wireless router as the wireless bridge between your PC and the TV (as what wuming_shi is doing) 3. Search for wi-fi dongle using Rosewill RNX-N1MAC chipset on ebay, samsung linkstick is using the same chipset (cheapest solution, but you need luck getting the one with exact same chipset) |

Format your portable HD to use 64K as the NTFS cluster size, then use mydefrag(choose the monthly script) to defrag it. |

QUOTE(SeanWong @ Jul 27 2010, 02:39 PM) my Hitachi HDD already format to NTFS...so can i use the "defragmentation" button (right click my HDD which pop up the feature) to defrag the file from the HDD, as per your recommendation? [attachmentid=1696058] 1. The NTFS cluster(or allocation unit size) is only 4K by default, reformat the partition to use 64K cluster size. 2. The windows built-in defragment tool is not as good as those 3rd-party one. I recommend www.MyDefrag.com as it is free and its monthly script really defrag to the max(but will take many hours if you run it for the first time) |
