Ya. Ahem is RM 25 per BD, some shop do sell buy 5 = RM 100, but Ahem is 25GB not 50GB, quality still not bad, just some longest movie you may find some color render issue or fading issue. (and depends on vendor also, some is badly did even the subtitle is not follow sequence, example you choose English but they give you Chinese subtitle, once you get a nice vendor, you will happy with it)

* Those RM 10 - RM 12 is not BD, those is DVD9 only even the case label with BD.
* Now in market got few damn nice steelbook case which sold RM 20 also not a BD but DVD9 only.

** You can always take out the disc and differentiate on it, the texture surface in BD is different compare with DVD.

*** I am not that rich, sorry I can't get all Ori. Some movie I won't take Ori one, only those my favor to be collection will be in Ori.  laugh.gif

Once you see BD, you won't enjoy DVD anymore, beside clarity, most BD title is remastered better. (Not all title, but most).

PS3 I no idea, never in my mind. I not play TV games one tongue.gif only play PC games.

Besides, what is the different between RM5 DVD and so call "Bluray" DVD9 that selling RM10-12 ?

Welcome, smile.gif Ya me also, now I feel regret buying those ori DVD, especially that LOTR Extended (that time I buy RM 499 - I get it on 1st hand when release).

After I seen Ahem BD of LOTR already damn clear (at least better a lot than DVD lo), wow! I not getting ori as I want extended, hope and when extended BD release, I will buy ori. hehe.
** But anyway for collection, I still highly recommended on Ori. They is still differences between it.

RM 5 DVD is DVD5 which is around 4.3GB only and most source from internet or cinema record, sometimes is from screener (those sample copy for internal use) copy.

those BD label but actual DVD9 is 7.4GB and mostly re-encoded from ori BD, some title is just actual DVD9 copy over.

OMG RM499. u must be super LOTR fans and Movieholic.

ooo... RM5 DVD cover put DVD9, RM10-12 BD. Pirated memang pirated.

Wah, now this thread becomes discussion of ahem DVD/BD rclxub.gif
My comments is that there are also different grades of ahem BD out there (not just the DVD9 copied from BD but the 25G discs) but it is always better to go for the Ori especially those on offer in Amazon or other online source where it costs a bit more but you get the full works, more so if you like the extras stuff that are provided.

bro jeehouhee, the Samsung BD player only cost RM399 compare to a branded HDMI DVD player that cost RM299 so you should invest in one. The BD player can also upscale your DVD. What more you have a Yamaha AVR, so you should enjoy the HD Audio that comes with BD. With the cost of Ori BD approaching that of Ori DVD, one should switch to BD especially if you have a HDTV; otherwise you are not doing justice to the HDTV.
Not sure whether the default is set to upscale or not. But if you go to Setting > Display > Resolution, set to Auto (if not already that) and the Samsung will automatically output the highest resolution that your TV can support. I suppose at Auto it will upscale to suit the TV.

Thks for advise. But Ori Bluray i so expensive for me as i still got alot things need to change. Example : Buy new Plasma or LED (as now i using Sammy LED monitor only) / Velodyne Subwoofer and Bluray Player too ).

Take it slowly to upgrade.

Got it nearby HLK Taipan as per someone mentioned. The shop name is MG Electrical

I try to get it with the price tag rm399 but eventhough nego kaw-kaw, the best price I got is 450. Since it is a last unit, no choice I paid rm450+48(extended warranty 2years). Strangely the receipt issued written rm799 for C5500.

Anyway a good news is that my new Pioneer AVR with 5.1 speaker just arrived yesterday. Tested with C5500 + sammy 42" full HD today and the result.....SUPERB.
The BD movie I tested is AVATAR. I would said the experience much better than watching in cinema.

Finally my home theater system is completed and now will tweet to its fullest potential.  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

As far as I know, the Samsung player does not support RMVB files. Refer to pg. 12 of the user manual for the list of files supported. To play m2ts and mts files just change the file extension to .mp4 and they will play. Definitely the player supports HDD but you may have to press the Red button A (Change Device) on the remote before it shows and you have to select the type of media (video, music or photo) before you can play it. It is better to get a stand-alone HD Media Player if you want to play files other than those supported by the Samsung.

Ic. Bro Ronald mind to teach me how to convert rmvb files to Mkv?
And izzit necessary to update firmware/DIVx ? Coz i really dunno what is firmware for!

For the HDD. I tried to connect to LCD. Yes it work. But for BD Player, it does not work. Pendrive is ok for Player but not HDD.

So confuse !
