Im selling my M4000 without hard disk if anyone interested. Bought in May 2007.

I ask them whether their 6500 got issues, they said no more.

the 4100 also got issues never solve, u think th 6500 100% no problem?

shit, i wanna get cheap 4100

but one thing no good abt tvix is the give up on the fw for preivous models very quickly

Ya loh, I wrote to DVICO about the DVD .ISO playback issue and also the need of playback MKV with built-in subtitle in last Nov and was told that they are workig on it for new firmware expected in spring this year. It's now 5 months passed their last firmware update and am still waiting... You think they have given up of 4100 update already? If so, I don't think I will buy TVIX again.

jack, but tvix is still one of the better ones out door wor

i dun think they will do a fw for 4100 anymore, the 6500 shud be able to play embeded subs in mkv, no?

get srt files lor

Of course they want us to upgrade to the latest models by not updating the firmware.

If I buy the 6500 it will be my third one in 3 years :sweats:

one year one, ok mar

No choice, have to live with 4100 for sometime. Wife will kill me if I upgrade again.

I do use SRT, but have do use remote to adjust the timing at times. Really afraid of spoling the remote with this constant pressing of same remote key. My Astromax FF key not working now becuase always fast forward to skip commercials, and there is no immitation remote, have to get the original. This have to find sometime to learn how to fix the subtitle synchro issue.

Another issue I have is that those Bluy-ray files are in spearate files (those .ts files within the same movie) which TViX will have distracting pause before continuing to the next files. some free time to fix the timing issue. Anyway to joing those files into a single one?

why .ts? 1080p ones ar?

my subs, no issue one, all very accurate
did u use the correct subs? or u use dvd subs for lburay?

how u fast forward the subs ar?

The .ts (actually it's got additional character, can't remember) is actaull the transport stream format for Blu-ray movie (the original disc), and it's in 1080p. The 4100 can actually play back the original Bluy-ray files (privided the protection is removed). I got the Casino Royale and T2 in my TViX box now. Some others in my PC not tranferred over becuase they are damn big files (total 30g to over 40g per movie).

Yep, I mix diff. sub with differrent rips (.H264, mpg, DVix, etc) becuase it's not always that I can get the matched versions.

The 4100 allows up and down chn keys to speed up or delay the subtitles. It's just that I may need to continuously doing it throughout the movie because I think it may be using absolute timing info in the sub file instead of relative timing (this is only my guess). Anyway, just got some tip from my friend to use the Vobsub to adjust the timing. Will try to find some time to do it, maybe tonight if I don't fell asleep. Actually I still got a number of movies to catch up to.. really not enough time leh.

its m2ts
4100 can play .m2ts meh? wat abt .evo?
wat are the benifits, does it has menu? or the sound can play up to trueHD or pcm?

Yes, this is in the 4100 specs :

Format :.avi, .wmv, .mpg, .iso .vob, .ifo, .mp4, .asf, .tp, .trp, .ts, .m2ts, .mov(H.264), mkv

and NO, can't play .evo (I got the Transformers HD-DVD version and it won't play).

Audio supported are :

MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg, PCM, M4A, AC3,FLAC, WAV

For multi-channel, I can only get DD5.1, ex DTS, es (i think 6.1 discrete as well) through the digital out (coax and Toslink) to AVR. I don't think it has True-HD decode to PCM (like PS3), not sure also because my AVR doesn't have HDMI port to receive multi-chn PCM.

No menus at all for Blu-ray, it's just playing file by file (.m2ts) like I complained. So far it doesn't play well on the Blu-ray movies as I feel that it's being pushed its limits playing the .m2ts with tendency of stuttering. I mostly play MKV files now because of this issue, and of course it takes a LOT longer time to get the Blu-ray version vs. the MKV. BTW, Blue Planet Blu-ray is less than 20G, so it's more manageable. Another problem is not able to change the audio track, e.g. I got english audio in TViX but got Chinese audio in my notebook from the same file (Caisno Royale .m2ts files).

Still waiting for the update or hack for PS3 to support NTFS because the FAT32 format suppport of not more than 4GB file size is really usefless. I also don't have powerful PC to do video streaming to PS3 currrently..

u mean ps3 can play m2ts files directly?

i dun need it to decode, i just wanna know the file in it has normall dd or dts or HD audio? the new 6500 will be able to bitstream, my receiver is ready

u mean in m2ts u kenot change audio? mkvs is ok though
