Quick update ...

Last nite I copied a 1GB VOB file from a DVD into my HDD and WD TV plays it! So nice ... is this DVD VIDEO file format?

Next to try is BlueRay Video file ...

Also, can't wait for a new Firmware from WD ... need auto-recovery from the green pixelation happening to some of the mkv 1080 files
A bit on Transformers movie. Quite a few times for I Am Legend.
Current solution is Stop > Resume (repeat)

For any playback skipping, you can perform a 10 minutes chapter skip by first performing FF (>>) or RR (<<) then pressing >| or |< respectively to make the skips.
In my opinion, playback in VOB (NTSC) or MKV 720p are very stable with both Dolby Digital and DTS supported flawlessly. I am in the midst of zapping my existing Hi quality DVD collections into HDD and storing it for future home video server project. Now my mark is about 300 titles... aiming for 1000 titles within this coming June 09. sweat.gif

As for 1080p "green pixelation" problem, we can quickly get rid of it by simply pause/resume or FF (>>) then resume normal playback. The "green pixelation" will disappear instantly. Good luck@! thumbup.gif

I've just bought a L8 from China on Monday. It is about the size of Dreambox 500, overall the quality seems to looks better then any other RMVB player in the market. The original package does not come with a HDMI cable sad.gif The remote control is one of those cheapo type, but still far better then RMVB rc I have seen so far. If you don't read Chinese then it could be a little problem as the rc is in Chinese characters pritted on it.

As for picture and sound quality, overall it is quite good. In case you have not notice, this player can play 720P, 1080i and 1080P files. BUT the player only output 720P resolution to the tv! During the quick test, I've came across 1 of the mpeg file is not supported by the L8. And some of the mkv and avi files with 5.1 audio track does not have any sound. Same problem as my HDX900 prior to latest firmware update.

Considering L8 as a high end RMVB player, then you should be happy with the player.

Lowest possible price is about RMB750. Whereas L6 and L7 are slightly cheaper.

Hi bro, do you intend to covert the BlueRay to ISO format or just copy the BD video file over? By chance you know any player can play ISO format with all the menu/feature remain intact?

Actually, for 29" CRT, you don't even need WDTV...just normal AVI/DIVX player will do....The screen will be too small to see any difference.

ok this 1 I agree

on my old 20" Sony trinitron CRT, pioneer dv-383 is sufficient to play hdtv series at nice sharp quality.

after changed to 32" plasma TV, even divx series that I used to play is now not so attractive anymore coz not so sharp edi tongue.gif WD TV seems able to decode the video a bit sharper than my pioneer dv-383 divx player.

p/s : ready stock for WD TV here. Anyone wanna order? and is there anyone in Sungai Petani got TiVO and Dvico? want to do direct comparison in my house with WD TV and we can share the experience here biggrin.gif
