I am hooking the WD HD Player direct to my Sony 40" LCD TV via HDMI for video playback (on 1080p 60hz resolutions), and used SPDIF optical connect to my OnkyoTX-SR505 for audio decoding, Dolby Digital 5.1 track is being decoded well. Will try on DD-EX & DTS-ES movie track tonite if time permitted.

Ya, one more thing, the unit do support DVD file Subtitle change, audio track change, but cannot search/skip chapters.

Wow, so many members got it already. I thought Corez will be the first one to try it out.

Wow...
So exciting. Zhen^wei, thanks for the PM. I will consider.

Now, my main concern is..........



with my snail speed of Stimix... how am I gonna get all the HDD Movies and Discovery HD? Hmmm.......

And Ozawa...

Have to beg, borrow or steal from those who have lor.


Or upgrade broadband speed or use whatever techniques discussed all over here in LY

When we use HDMI connection, and use optical for audio at the same time, does it means that it will automatically disable the hdmi audio?

If you can connect your HDMI to your AV Receiver, why bother to use optical? HDMI interface should able to act as Audio transport to your AV receiver to decode the necessary audiotrack playback.
In my case, my Onkyo TX-SR505 do not have HDMI interface, that's why I have to connect the SPDIF to my AV Receiver via optical for audio and HDMI interface to my Sony LCD TV via HDMI.

Run thru whole pdf, most lkely it doesnt has hdmi 1.3 chipset and support HD audio.

anybody can help me try the chinese subtitle ?? chinese SRT can work ? or graphic SUB is supported ? tq.

Tested just now on DVD VOB file type ... Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Bahasa... all can be playback!

All MKV that I have only normal DTS (1.5mbps max) and Dolby Digital only. So that's fine.

I have yet to come across any video file with HD audio tracks.

All remux in net is come with hd audio.

Pardon my ignorance. This means that you can actually get a 100% BD rip? So, that files sld be in the range of 25GB?

Yes, some forumner managed to rip the whole bd (50gigs) and burn it onto a dual layer BD.

That pirated bd can be played on PS3 some more.

The only problem is that blank 2 layer bd cost like 80+. Better buy ori.

However, just wait for the blank BD to drop down, then we shall be flodded with pirated BDs

Yeas, files range from 10gb to 40gb.
