YB, I am still sceptical abt 6500 being able to play BD ISO files flawlessly; both audio and video.

Just came back from mpyw's pad. Probably need to ask that guy to demo it at his pad.

for me, as long it can play m2ts and HBR to the amp good enough liao, to hell with menus

if you not able to switch audio tracks and subtitles in the m2ts then anjua?

YB no problem as his hearing cannot detect any differences in audio format. I suspect that it is due to his 'elite' speakers system that could integrate / produce superb sounds even from compressed sound format (DD, DTS)

maybe his elite ears can upscale the DTS signal to DTS-MA in his brain.. haha!

errr.....6500a, when playing the m2ts file....i can switch btwn the audio tracks and subtitles. the only thing that doesnt function well is the chapter fwd and bkwd thing

tats y didikl bite kaw ar188.....

To all the non-believers (read and weep) and believers heres a quick review of dvico 6500a full bluray rip support. Will try to put more picture n reviews on my website www.macammacamada.com later. Sick of people fighting over whether dvico can run a full bluray rip I went ahead and update my dvico to the alpha firmware. But i use a slightly special firmware supposely does not have the 100 files only lock for bluray rip files.

Follow instruction carefully and updated the machine .. don't want to brick this expensive puppy...

woh lah .. done updating...





screen came out .. woooooh impressive .. able to modify startup screen...




went straight to my bluray rip file .. click it .. warning that this firmware is only able to play 100 bluray files .. than click ok..black screen came out..

waited waited waited..
wtf happening..

Tried three times more ...same bloody black screen!!!!!!

than i realise might be a problem with the way i copy the files into dvico.. went and check the folders.. ooooohhhh ai yeah the three folders inside got the same folder too.. delete it and made only one folder for each..




on the dvico again cross finger ... bloody 100 files warning from firmware again.. and than... orgasm.. FBI warning came out..(don't u miss that warning screen after you move to only watching mkvs and avis)
and the file started playing .. hoooray hooray hooray !!!!! introduction video screen played and played...



ok enough.. hit title button on the remote ... woh lah .. the menu came out .. able to select this and that..





again this is only alpha firmware .. forum says not all bluray will play well.. and some quircks with here and there...
in order for me to test more i need to get a bluray drive to rip more stuff.. (rx330 can go to singapore to buy me a liteon blu ray drive for me so that i can rip my blu ray collection..bloody drive here so expensive..)


ok guys case close... dvico is able to play dvico blu ray rip... (this is the finding from only one bluray title i played hahahaha)

nice write up andy.....well done la

hey andyz, the fw you used, it doesnt have the 100 bd playback limit, right?

supposedly .. but the counter now down to 98.. i think u still got to do something more to stop the counter...
probably ssh to the dvico and type a command to reset .. but he didn't explain on his website..

remember this firmware still alpha or beta not sure .. it has a lot of bugs...

I am eager to know this too. If can disable it, then

i will read up and test the resetting feature..
might have to network the dvico and than use ssh to enter to modify...


...actually just now as i was testing .. counter drop to around 90...
and than when i off and on .. the counter reseted it self to 100 again...

err.. if you have ripped your own collection you will know not all M2TS main movie is a single large file. some are split to several large files. hence if your player doesn't support seamless branching, you will have playback problems with some of the movies..

so far all of them has the main feature on 1 single large file.

So, can I safely says that you have successfully disabled the counter?

ar188, if andyz did it, can really go ahead with my plan liao. Have to get taukeh in also
