The reason I get NMT is to eliminate Disc base playback which is troublesome. HDD is dirt cheap nowadays. If you keep m2ts file, it's only 20Gb - 40Gb per movie. Also, I prefer to play the movie directly without going through all trailers and FBI warning.

Anyway, why you guys get a Dune for blu-ray playback? If I use disc based playback, I would choose Oppo or region hack blu-ray player.

As for DVDFab ripping using Core i5 4 core processor is not that long. I try to clone copy a blu-ray disc to strip off all copy protection and region coding, took me around 25 mins using Core i5 750 overclock to 3.9Ghz.

Just a bit curious as my Dune HD Smart D1 can't play the Kick Ass BD-ISO. It just hang while loading but the same BD-ISO can be play on my HD Media HD200a which's realtek R1055 chipset based player, albeit without the menu..

hi sifus,

i'm planning to get a dune D1. but my concern is, i want to make the dune D1 to view movies from my PC. i do not want to transfer the movies from my pc to my external hdd, and then unplug it, then plug it back in the dune d1 to watch movies. can any sifus here explain to me the steps to make this work?

OK i finally just bought a Dune HD Max

as expected im having a few problems that i hope someone on here will be kind enough to help me fix

first off, after approx. 15 mins of playing a disc my tv screen goes black and sound mutes for about 2 seconds, the same as if a hdmi refreshes, but the cable is in securely. i have the video display set to auto, no upscaling or anything, as i let my denon receiver do the upscaling

secondly, i bought this to replace my sony bdp s380 player for watching blu rays but the picture just doesnt seem to be as sharp despite me using the exact same hdmi cable. motion is fine but there seems to be aliasing or jittering of some objects at certain times in the centre of the screen
i'm hoping someone can help as i really dont want to have to sell or send this back as its something i have wanted for a very long time. any hints or tips on how to get the best out of this device would be much appreciated

Can you pls teach me how to do firmware update? I have a Dune D1.
