Hi boygenetic and avantasia, I wonder why. Surely, when you bought the player you want to use it to play BD, DVD or CD? Or even media files from the USB port. Or maybe you have got another BD player? Just curious.

Maybe both of them tooooo RICH

can i ask where still can get to buy this player oh?

hi hih mostly watch HD stuff using DUNE HD Base, can't afford to buy BD anymore.

no no, no such thing
just that i got the player for my parents. i thought they would appreciate it but end up watching byond 24/7.
the player is so under utilized. i even updated the firmware on the player. they afraid of sooo many remote controls.
. tv lah, AVR lah, the player lah, byond lar.

Can someone help me? My player can't play some MKV movies. Can somebody tell me how to convert MKV video files to AVI? The MKV files comes with DTS. Can I keep the DTS when I convert the video to AVI? Thanks.

bro, u can always rent blurays...hehe since getting the C5500 haven't bought a single BD but rented 12 already.

Wah, good boy and lucky parents!
Maybe you play for them a few BDs then they may get hooked.
Apart from playing BDs, I am using my Sammy to play my old collection of DVDs and music CDs.

Use mkvmerge to remux the movies again (thanks to andrewtst or ronald, sorry I can't rmbr exactly who it was for providing us the solution IN THE EARLIER THREADS) Then play them again. I had more than 10 movies which had this problem earlier which I can play on PC but not on the player. Now after remuxing them I can play all of them already.

Don't need to convert them to AVI.

Will try it. Thanks!

Tick "Disable header removal compression for audio and video tracks by default" at options for mkvmerge GUI v4.4.0 before start remuxing.

i tried using the player for mp3 using flash drive.
it works !!!! no more popping in CDs for music.
parents watching byond 24/7, ask them questions also hard to get answer.
*sigh*

Already did but still can't play. It says 'File Not Supported'. Maybe because it x264?

I had similar problem with one of my .MKV file...remuxed with MKVMERGE 4.4.0 and 4.5.0 but still can't play. The same file plays fine on my xtreamer/pc though.

Hi all,

Is RM399 for this player is a good price in penang now??

Plan to buy a player... but dunno whether this or Sony BD-S370...

Somebody bought it at RM350 in Penang somewhere, look through the earlier posts here. Also check my post #344 here for the major differences between the Sony 370 and the Samsung 5500. Andrew also posted some comparison between the two earlier. Generally I find the Sony loads BD faster than the Samsung and the Sony has more default network contents, 17 vs 11 but no Twitter, Facebook and Picasa that Samsung has. But I find downloading the network contents rather slow for both the Sony and Samsung, better use your PC or laptop. The Sony is region free for DVD while the Samsung plays only Region 3 DVD but is hackable. Other features are more or less the same so it is your preference.

Thanks for the info....
