Pls throw DVD player into tong sampah and buy a Media player like WDTV Live etc. DVD cannot play HD. End of story.
A media player can play downloaded HD files from hard disks or from your server, or even stream internet content. BD players are needed to play BD disc obviously, and it's quiet cheap now...RM399 can get. This post has been edited by Matrix: Dec 20 2010, 12:53 PM |

QUOTE(bigbangformula @ Dec 20 2010, 01:11 PM) I think it was a free Sony Blu-Ray I think,it was the promotion by Sony,RM2499 40'' Sony FHD TV with free Blu-Ray Player,I said I didn't want the Blu-Ray player cos that time I was thinking,I never use Blu-Ray before nor do I buy the BD movies,it's so expensive.So they reduce to RM1999.Worth it?Or wrong decision? RIGHT decision.    WDTV Live only RM299.  |

QUOTE(bigbangformula @ Dec 20 2010, 01:42 PM) Hey that's pretty worth it for only RM299 Yes, the only thing it can't play basicaly is RMVB files. Unless you're HK TVB Drama whore, you probably won't miss it. We want HD mkv files, not pariah sub-standard RMVB file....  Just remember to buy a branded media player...IMO, don't buy China brand....most don't have good firmware support. WDTV Live is one of the best bang for buck BRANDED HD media player right now...cheap and good....i have 2 in the house. And you can even connect a keyboard to it to login to Facebook.

QUOTE(bigbangformula @ Dec 20 2010, 02:09 PM) China brand?  For an extra RM100,I think it's more worth it to invest in Western Digital But hey I do watch HK TVB drama sometimes  And yea probably won't buy China stuff,Western Digital is more reliable,it's a big nameSo,the most important thing is that this WDTV Live can play normal DVD movies too right?Like those you buy from those pasar malam sellers And also movies that you download from the net and burn to DVD,you get what I mean  99.99% of media player DON'T PLAY DISCs anymore. (unless you maybe add an external DVD or BD drive). You dun burn to DVD...you copy it to ur external hard disk and cucuk in the USB port. If you have a PC media server, you still can watch RMVB files by transcoding on ur server and stream it to the WDTV Live (which has built in LAN port, very important) and support optional WIFI dongle. ...but let's not confuse you with that...for time being, just copy the files to ur external hard disk and cucuk inside the WDTV Live.

QUOTE(piscesguy @ Dec 21 2010, 10:52 AM) Each movie backup to how many HDD? 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...
