munkin sbb dvd pirate akan merosakkan ps3 lens....

Oh i didnt know that

Even so i feel that if you pop in dvd to your pc, rip it and encode as H264 , and for audio can either do AC3 or retain the DTS track. Then put them into a MKV.

For a DVD that is about 4.8 gig or so, this sort of pc video format size would be around 1 gig or less ? This can then be stored on the pc hard drive or preferably a 1 TB NAS, then stream over popcorn to your HDTV using a 200 mbps homeplug or a direct ethernet cable if you don't mind making your house messy

i want a dvd player that can straight away play avi files from a thumbdrive...
which model will it be? not hdmi oso dun mind..

as far as i c..only samsung HTS can do that...normal dvd not sure

too troublesome, not all people has good computer knowledge, they better buy a dvd player and everything settle so DVD player is still needed and not yet outdated, and btw not everyone can own a PS3, it's still not affordable yet and so again DVD players are still the best and affordable source to watch DVDs..
it might be outdated to you but not to many..

the price for one PS3 is sightly more expensive than a HDMI DVD player. But dont forget u can play blu-ray on it, maybe u dont need one today, but consider the price for a HDMI DVD upscaling player which cost around rm1k, why not top up rm300 to get a true HD player?

furthermore, it can play games as well

imo, those upscaling HDMI DVD players are not practical

well it depends but normal DVD players are definitely cheaper alot than PS3, not to mention HDMI-DVD players ofcourse are expensive lar, and some people who are very partiqular with pq will actually prefer to go for a dedicated HDMI-DVD player instead of a PS3..

No doubt bluray has better PQ no matter what or how expensive the dvd upscaler is but for me bcoz I have hundreds and hundreds of DVDs I still need an upscaler otherwise my collection all gone to waste

Use a dedicated DVD player to watch dvds and use PS3 for games and blu-ray movies...somehow I feel like my dvd player plays dvd better than my ps3....

Yes agreed. Dedicated DVD player play DVD still better than Blue ray player. pioneer Lx50 dvd player still beat pioneer Lx70a blueray player when play DVD movie.

I agree. Moreover, HDMI DVDP is in the region of RM400 - RM600, which does the job nicely.


I agree on this too. It's a hassle. Would rather have a DVDP for most ppl out there. Until now, DVD is still the 'viable' option unless BD price tumbles to 'afforable' level and when it is readily available to the masses (pandai pandailah)

a lot cap ayam ones out there has this feature..some even have upscaling feature via component...sometimes they get rosak easily...but no worries coz it's cheap...buy another one if rosak...haha

darn the ns78 is no longer selling. anyone know where i can get one ? else my other choice is the philips 5986 or the panny s54. any others that are comparable to the ns78 ?

I saw ns78 which sell RM299 in sony wing the curve. You can also consider Pioneer DV-400.

so cheap??

It's has been replaced by NS708. RM450 with 1 free HDMI cable. I thought you guys already knew that. For pics of this model, go to Sony AU website.

This thread is so power la... He! He! He!
Wah... I didn't know N78 no more... I was still talking about 76. Ha! Ha! Ha!

which shop is tat? and which floor? becoz monday i will going to the curve.

Do tell me if the price is RM299 as I'll be in KL next week.

i was told sony (ps3) purposely degrade the normal dvd picture to show the superiority of BD...

PS3 upscaling is better than any other dvd player that i own.
