Eh...u didn't take TIME and PATIENT to DL into account, unless it doesn't worth $ to u?

So total how much is that, Mr. Accountant?

out of topic d...hi hi hih

DVD is just another media to be used as backup storage just incase if HDD goes dead.
Like what happened to my Seagate 1.0 TB last year, RIP..

For me I avoid Seagate at all cost...Really funny is Seagate 7200.11 still got ppl sell many in the forums...the return rates are tops.

And I feel the once reliable freeagent desk is also using those 7200.11 because the failure rate is more than usual.

Can i answer? C5500 cannot play 40GB files ripped of blueray. it just maybe can play certain 4.00GB ++ mkv files (read somewhere on the web).

imo TS, if you already have DVD player why you wanna buy BD player coz at the 1st time you also didnt want BD Player from sony rite?

just get a good media player + your current DVD player is the best setup, as you mention earlier that you also want to download some 720p or 1080p movies.

for C5500 i guess all .mkv files can play ... up to 15GB, tried before.

damn. really man? can play via HDD? ouch. i might get wrong information on the web and blog.

if like that, this player is damn worth to buy.

yeah i use mine 1.5 TB HDD ... so far ok, most of time i play using hd base

4GB/8GB/10GB+....you seriously don't need a lot of hard disk. Per GB is way cheaper.(even when considering the Streamyx line)..not to mentioned waste of time to burn to disc. Your maths failed.

And i can select any movies i want at the flick of the switch....nothing like lying on the sofa and take your sweet time to choose a movie streamed from my media server, instead of browsing a dusty cabinet for boxes and discs...

May i ask, if your TV or DVD Player can play mkv, why bother having the HD DUNE BASE?

Yupe, can play directly via HDD. No issue so far, perfectly run .MKV and no issue on .SRT subtitle as well.

I rather choose direct playing out from HDD.

your file must keep in hdd and plug usb into tv or bd player to play mah...

Do u understand my question?

I perfectly understand ur question. But you can't comprehend the answer.

I m not sure ur answer is to which question..

Sorry, I meant to say, if TV/Player already have media player, why does he still need a DUNE.

Oh, ic....... then definitely no need.

No man actually what I have now is just a 42'' LCD TV with an old model Sony DVD player which DOES NOT support HD movies,nor does it support upscaling or Blu-Ray,it only supports plain old normal DVD's

What I want now is a home theatre system and also this Samsung BD-C5500 which is just what I need,I download movies from internet ,store it into my HDD,and plug it in into this Samsung BD-C5500,just what I need,and it also supports Blu-Ray which I may use in the future

But now it's budget,either I get this Samsung BD-C5500 or I get a home theatre first

dune hd base can play .iso, m2ts, dbmv which c5500 can't do it!
Somemore loading time is faster rather then bd

yeah2. you should get BD-C5500. didnt realize it true potential that able to play up to 15GB mkv files.
