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)

Can Copy the .VOB file and play using WD TV? I want to try it for myself. Hopefully it works. Thanks for the sharing.

some hdmi connection dont have audio in it .. this is what i am worrying as this stuff is kinda cheap ..

I have tried out mine HDMI 1.3 cable.

This is the thing I found out:

1. Connected the HDMI direct to my LCD TV.
Results: Only stereo sound, no sound if the audio is digital format, ie; DTS.

2. Connected HDMI to AV Receiver with HDMI in and HDMI out from AV receiver to LCD TV.
Result: Both stereo and digital sound.

So the HDMI is with Video and Audio depends on your setup and audio file format.

holy!!!! hdwarexpert, how did u know????????

It only output raw audio signal from our movie files.

If you use ur TV to output the sound, only stereo sound can be heard. Not DTS.

for DTS, u need at least a home theatre set or AV receiver with DTS. Either via optical cable or HDMI also can, no RCA jack. wink.gif

Yup, you are right.

How do you organise this event? Who will keep all the copies to share to other forumers? Then he will need more than 10TB to keep all the files. sweat.gif

Yes, we need the decoder such as our home theatre set or AVR to output the DTS sound.

huh why difficult to test?

just get 2 cables, 1 expansive 1 cheap.
ask someone to help you do blind test. Both cable play on same source same display same speakers same AVR.

as easy as abc to test. if you cant notice any difference, by all means get cheap one. if you can notice good one is better (in blind test) by all means get the expansive one if u can afford and if u find that its worth for the price

Not every home has 2 sets of same TV and AVR la.....

Darn it!! starting to hate this product  vmad.gif  vmad.gif  The same this (as above happend again). Was playing Changeling 1080p and after roughly 1 hour of viewing time the aboved prolem occurs. Tried everithing - reset, unplug, start the mov and FF, set auto res/720p60hz/1080p60hz, change usb port/cable. It just get worse - all the way to the end - it happened every 2-3 min.

I think it is the WDTV issue - as from my observation my avr lost the digital sound iinput from wdtv and my ext M.Basic hd stopped blinking. can this be another flaw in the new firmware. didnt got the chance to tried in the old/shipped f/ware - straight away update - how i wish to hav a copy of the old firmware....

Any one has experienced this before - WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??  mad.gif  vmad.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

mine has no issue. Plays almost all files without any quality issue.

By the way, I'm wondering can this play DIVX format? Anyone tried it before as I do not really have this type of files in my library.

please help! Can some kind soul please point me to where I can solve the "no audio" problem on 720p and 1080p files?
I tried downloading Popcorn Audio Converter but there's a trojan horse in there according to my AVG.
I don't have a DTS receiver either! (How much are recivers now?)
Anyway, I just want to watch my stuff on my LCD TV in my room, so the speakers from my TV is more than sufficient for my current needs.

Please please help!

Try to search a simple AVR at Hifi shops around your place with DTS function. Should not be expensive if you do not demand for DTS-HDMA or Dolby true-HD AVR.

Am using KMplayer to view on my notebook, and noticed that video and audio not quite in sync on 1080p files. Am out of town, so can't test out on the WD. Anyone else experiencing this? Strange that it's ok with the 720p files.

As always, thanks heaps in advance...you guys are the coolest!

I suspect this is due to lagging problem. It is caused by laptop processor not powerful enough to process 1080p movies. What processor and ram for your laptop? whistling.gif

Hi all,

Need some advice please. Have just updated my firmware. Still NOT able to do chapter selection on MKV files. Do I have to "make" chapters first? Am also not able to "forward" 5 mins ahead. Would appreciate your assistance!

Thanks!
*
So far I only managed to download a concert with chapter selection. OTher MKV's for movies do not have chapter selection.

Forward 5 minutes is like what our friends say above. Press fast forward up to 8X and wait it reach your desired scene and press play again loh. icon_rolleyes.gif
