Hi,

im currently looking for HD media player...but there are a lot of model on the market...normally wat is the spec that need to be aware? i have some model for below, which one is better? need some expert to advice

- A.C Ryan
-WD TV
- Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player
- Xtreamer

Live got my vote

Ya la why WDTV Live is not in your list?
No budget ah?
Must be 'Branded'? or the cheap ones but equally capable ones from China can or not?

FYI. New and better ones are coming!

I tot nowadays ppl are saying ACRyan mini better than WDTVlive?

go for AC Ryan laaa,

It all depends on what sort of videos you want to watch (assuming your main purpose is for video). The WDTV and Xtreamer canot support RMVB (from the specs) and the other two uses the same chip so performance should be the same. Also see what other functions and features you want and your budget.

I'm using a Mede8er. Works fine, max capacity for internal HDD is 2TB. Only con is copying via USB to its internal HDD is a bit slow.

Go for A.C Ryan HD Media Player
best for me so far..
go look for more info at Trade Section

Alang2 buy PS3... can play HD movies in whatever format. You just have to install the firmware in

PS3 is a lot more expensive lol
TS is just looking for a HD Media player

what is the NEW one?

benjamin,
recommend that you consider yangxi's hdpro - cheap and effective.

Any devices that can do good passthrough Audio for mkv files? looking to play my mkv files with HD audio

So what is your budget and media files you're going to play?

You got PM

Hmm.. PS3 can play MKV files? Since when...?

Most certainly PS3 not capable of playing MKV files. As far as i know MP4..cant recall the rest..

Lost PS3 long time , sudah lupa leh..

You can check some offers and prices here: HDD Media Player

Yeah...I was kinda interested in getting a PS3 and a media player, but can PS3 support MKV without the hassle of encoding again?
And can it read the MKV for external hardisk?...I PM the guy above until now no answer.

I check the net also no firmware supports MKV...unless its home brewed stuff

just getting A.C ryan player mini....so far test on rmvb and avi file...picture quality is ok....deep color...will test the HD file soon....

nope.. ps3 can't play mkv directly at the moment...

Good for you
How was the quality

Comparing POHD mini and the other chapalang player I had, POHD wins.
For me the video and audio is crystal clear even for a 700MB movie.
Before I had problem listening to the dialog coz of the sound effect, now no more.
No more astro movie package for me.

What about the interface? Like movie cover arts? XMBC style..

As far as i know, Mede8er have this function. Dont know about the rest..

Any comments?

P/S: im looking for a media player too.. preferably most intuitive GUI and BT downloader.

Thanks.
