Yup as Skylinestar stated, good luck....

Dune Base 3D does not support Bluray Menu and Dune Max 3D is suppose to do it, and is suppose to be release in 2 quarter 2013... until now, habuk pun tak da.....

Don't even get me started on the Oppo....

If not mistaken, it is related to license issue.

U looking for 3D media player or 2D will do?

Maybe you can consider some china brand media player....

Recently just bought one from china taobao. 3D media player with Full menu navigation using marvell chipset.

Do you mean BD Java menu? If it is and not BD-Lite menu, then it is good.

I will be reviewing the player that has been mentioned here. Utilizing the Marvell QDEO chipset with full BD Java Menu (2D & 3D). Will post a critical review once I complete my tests. Will have calibration checks as well to see if its any different from the Oppo player that can play isos.

Yes, Full BD menu, it is not BD-lite menu.

there is still some bug to fix especially on mkv file related issue. but overall playback of ISO still fine.

That's good especially if the price is affordable / lower than Dune.

My old Dune Base 3.0 still supports full BD Java menu, only downside...no 3D compliant.

Please do. My eGreat S100 with Dune card is working now, but no 3D support!!

You review would be MOST appreciated, especially if you can also provide the Malaysia distributor/reseller

Thanks

Quick review before I do a full in depth review.

Works as advertised. Has internal blu ray rom and 3.5in HDD slot. Has also 3 usb ports.

BD iso works with full menus. Also, picture slightly sharper than Oppo. But I believe QDEO implementation is slightly different. U hv full control of all QDEO options!

What player is this?

BevixTech 8178M

Heard of this

I believe someone had commented in one of the thrread here that he bought one with his boss when they were in China, but he also commented that in some situations it wasn't very stable...

Again, will appreciate any reviews you can provide on this player

Thank you in advance

I hv mostly isos and bdmv folders as my backups and so far except for one title they all play fine.

The BDROM works flawlessly as well.

I will test all possible files. I hv tested m2ts and it works as well. I will test mkv with lossless audio once I hv the files.

How much & where did you bought it?

Is an Android platform media player right ?

No its not Android based. I believe its full Marvell based and shd be Linux based (I think).

I have been looking for a media player that can do full menu to supplement my Oppo that is the only one that I know can do 3D with full menu (old firmware). However, the Oppo 93 is no more in production.

However, lets not get ahead of ourselves. I am yet to complete testing, so let me complete and see what other issues it has.

Pricing is not cheap, its direct from China. So it must be worth it before I recommend. Let me complete my testing and I will report back.

Thank you anfieldude

Are you buying BV8178M, bro anfieldude?

If all your test works out, and you are ordering it in, can tumpang? Please advice

Will wait for your full report.hehehehe

geforce,

I'm currently checking to see if I will buy one.

movfreak,

Yes, we will need to since there is a Minimum Order Quantity to be able to get decent pricing with shipping, not sure about warranty as hv not worked it out yet.

I'm a little tied up for the next 10 days, hope to have something by the end of next week at least. Plus I need to watch some complete movies to ensure there are no other issues with the player.

Okay, please note that the person whom I sent a pm to about this player, did indicate to me the price he paid. He said the NFS portion of the player is not stable.

Actually I have both Bevix BV8178M and Hualu N8 3D BD players+Media Players recently. Still need time to play around.

So far they are what they claimed they are: can play all region BD, cinavia free, can play BD with full menu, and can play BD ISO, BDMV, mkv, rmvb, ape, flac etc.

Bevix BV8178M http://www.bevixtech.com/product/detail.php/id-19.html is running on Marvell 88DE3010 chipset whereas Hualu N8 http://www.bfhualu.com/index.php/product/1/8 is running on MTK8555 chipset.

I got them from following:

BV8178M for RMB2200 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10....&id=18373823653

Hualu N8 for RM998 http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...41&bucket_id=19

I used Taobao agent to help me purchased the goods so add another 20% is what I paid.

For example RMB2200 convert to RM is (RMB2200/1.8*1.08)=RM1,319.99 + shipping cost.

Cool. I will need to test NFS and Samba but hv never set them up with any player before. I will try it on these.

About the price of Dune Max when it came out.... Will check with the person who bought it if he got it at the same price.

How is the Hualu H8? MTK makes good chipsets as well, I believe Oppo uses MTK in HDMI 2 for the Oppo 93.

I haven't tried them also as all my players, realtek, sigma, marvell or mtk all not connecting to network.... don't know how they work also....

Picture wise are pretty good but somehow i'm not sure it is just me or the players (both 8178m and N8) sometime got lips sync problem after fast forward....

Supposedly, Oppo and Dune had resolve the issue, but since I've never own neither, I cannot say. I have read forum where they rave about these network connection capabilities...

Seastar BDP-190 also MTK chipset based 3D blu-ray player capable playing BD-ISO and region free as per seller claim in Lelong. Below RM500 but not sure which MTK chipset based..

Wow, with full menu? Or bd lite? Looks like there are more choices that I thought!

geforce,

The link u sent is for 8078M, 8178M is slightly more expensive, can u translate and see what the difference between them are?

Yes, supposedly Bevix doesn't have reseller selling their products in Taobao or Tmall, the only official taobao shop is http://bevix.tmall.com/ that has link from the Bevix official site. But then all those reseller also want to do some sale thus they put in the title of 8078M upgraded version to represent 8178M. And if you pick the following package means you want the BV8178M pacakge. Hope this helps.

The Dune Max3D will probably around the same price as the old model. So, I am expecting the price at about RM1.6K. Apparently, it does not have Cinavia protection and it also has BD Java menu. Fingers crossed as the shipment for it was delayed to next month.

If it is what it claimed to be, I will not hesitate to get one for my own.

Based on the link below, it mentioned the Seastar BDP-190 was MTK8560 chipset based and perfectly support BDMV or BD-ISO. It also mentioned it's hardware based AAC Cinavia free solutions since 17 April 2013..

p/s: The link was in Chinese

http://www.clickgou.com/product/1307416124...ayer_DVD_player

can this player play mkv files that have truehd or dtsma audio smoothly?

Thanks

Check with the seller at Lelong. I tried one mkv file with DTS-HDMA on my HiMedia 900B before and it can bitstream without proble. Maybe I'm not that sensitive though..
http://www.lelong.com.my/seastar-3d-blu-ra...7-01-Sale-I.htm

ok got it thanks.

it sold out already lol

anyone order anything from http://www.lazada.com.my before is this website reliable as i like getting the seastar bd190 player from them.

Thanks

You can read the feedback from other items and the price was cheaper than the seller in Lelong. Certain area can have the COD option too

yep it seem to be good deal.

The seastar unit plays BDPs and isos, 3D as well. Its cheap and worth testing out. Might ask my brother to be the guinea pig.

Lazada does not mention this but lelong did.

i will be the guinea pig lol.. and report back the review later when i received the unit from lazada.

Thank you squall_12

Hopefully it do perform as specified. It's a deal since it's cinavia and region free..

Some more details on the Bevix 8178M.

Calibration wise, it is identical to the Oppo and a test pattern generator if u leave all QDEO settings at default.

Some differences, it only sends out YCbCr 4:4:4. There are no options to use other colour spaces, so if u set likes RGB, u're stuck.

However, all displays will accept YCbCr 4:4:4.

So the good news is that it does not alter the signal compared to a reference set, but u're limited in terms of colour space.

So meaning the best setting will be using default setting? Right?

If u want unaltered video, yes.

I would like to mess around with the rest of the QDEO settings (especially some of the adaptive contrast and EE to see if it can improve a little for poorer video sources).

Thanks bro anfieldude for the confirmation. I dare not to touch on the QDEO setting as not sure what they will do to my PQ

I just bought that player....only cinavia free but not region free...

Bro, why not buy the jailbreak pioneer bdp 450 ( Qdeo ,BD region free, cinivia free , dvd region free , can play BDISO , MKV , AVI file via usb and support full BD menu)

Thanks dude.

Lazada advertise it as region free. I read some online Chinese seller mentioned that it's region free too..
http://www.lazada.com.my/SEASTAR-BDP-190-3...REE-148713.html

Is there an option in the menu to change BD region?

On the Bevix it was an option in the menu.

What abt thie mede8er Med1000X3D? Any good? Pros and cons?

... anfieldude raya-ing lah....

If you are reading this anfieldude, Selamat Hari Raya

FYI, anfieldude doesn't celebrate Hari Raya.

Do you know if the BDP-450 pic quality is better than Dune?

I read one review which says it doesn't play mkv files.

Oops.. sorry anfieldude...

I try few MKV files , no problem . My firmware are 6.02. Picture quality Pioneer(Qdeo) beat Dune but lose to your DARBEE lah ,bro

This post has been edited by BOTBOTCHAI.: Aug 11 2013, 10:35 PM

Where can you get the Pioneer machine jail break? And can it also play m2ts files?

See Page 3 post 58 . I try with Bee movie m2ts files , no problem . Don't ask too much later you will like Chanhin said I keep promoting and one of the bosses

Thanks BOTBOTCHAI

Great to know thanks.

How are you connecting your HDD to the Pioneer? U using a multi-HDD dock?

Yes , bro jchong I'm using multi HDD dock ( 4 x 2 tb). But only with 2tb HDD on when watching movie . If I on all the HDD (4 x 2tb) then the Pioneer will become very slow. And it had lip sync problem, just add 200ms to audio delay(AVR) . Other than that, I can't find any flaw with the Pioneer . Money well spend .

No option to change region bro...

already call hiwaylaser...no stock

Try Desa Home Theater low yat .

already bought at Desa BDP -150 , updated firmware and now very happy with multi region BD and cinavia free....

How much did you pay for the Pioneer BDP150 at DHT?

Enjoy ,bro
