amen

thanks bro , guess you are right as i have convert the resolution to 720x 430 and it works . if the WDTV have scaling capabilities to syncron with HD ready or full HD TV , then its worth considering at that very fair value price. save converting time

at the moment yes. there will always be better model coming soon, so buy it when u can afford it, not waiting for the best to be bought.


chances are, when better model are out, you will upgrade, so dont bother waiting for better model to come, just buy the one available now and enjoy while waiting for better model.

hi all,
i want to ask what is meant by: xxxx.720p.BD5.mkv

What BD5 stand for??

I have a couple of BD5s - problem is the mov is not lip-sync with the audio..

What is the problem/solution here??

details: http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-134402.html

in short, BD5/BD9 is a lower capacity variant compare to BD.

Like the old school DVD5/DVD9

Check your HT...does it have Audio sync features? Afaik, my philips HT has a adjustable delay.

so, does this means that 720p.bd5 rip is lower q/pq compare to 720p.bray rip??

from my understanding, I think so.
Anyway, its still way better than regular DVDs quality rip

I think the ripper make a mistake in the title xxxx.720p.BD5.mkv
It suppose to be xxxx.720p.DVD5.mkv

What it means it the rip will fit in one DVD5 disc. If it is a xxxx.720p.DVD9.mkv then the file size of the mkv can fit only into a DVD9 disc.

I don't think there is anything like BD5 or BD9 at all.

Taken from Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc

BD9/BD5 Blu-ray Disc

BD9 and BD5 are lower capacity variants of the Blu-ray Disc that contain Blu-ray Disc compatible video and audio streams contained on a conventional DVD (650 nm wavelength / red laser) optical disc. Such discs offer the use of the same advanced compression technologies available to Blu-ray Discs (including H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2) while using lower cost legacy media. BD9 uses a standard 8152MB DVD9 dual-layer disc while BD5 uses a standard 4482MB DVD5 single-layer disc.[102]

BD9/BD5 discs can be authored using home computers for private showing using standard DVD±R recorders. AACS digital rights management is optional.[103] The BD9/BD5 format was originally proposed by Warner Home Video, as a cost-effective alternative to regular Blu-ray Discs.[104] It was adopted as part of the BD-ROM basic format, file system, and AV specifications. BD9/BD5 is similar to 3× DVD for HD DVDs.

Hi ... what is currently the best offer for this player?

The best i could find so far, is Compu-zone at Low Yat, selling it for RM399 with free HDMI cable.

Thanks!

I think its abt that price...HDMI cable is a bonus

BD5.

Generally means file size small enough to covert to AVCHD format and fit onto a DVDR5.

Tried it with Total Recall and played on my Panasonic Plasma 42S10K + BluRay Player BD60 and I think it is ok.

Good solution if you don't want to store these HD files on harddisk or thumb drive.

However, I don't think the format is popular.

Those are DVD disc lah. Not Bluray. Basically its DVD5 and DVD9 burn with bluray videos. Its not even a bluray sanctioned thing.

The price is reasonable coz its inclusive a HDMI cable (albeit prolly a cheaper cable).

Try Thunder Match on the top floor, they have a whole lot bunch selling at RM370, no cables. Also, you can still find the old box which comes with a HDD stand too.

Happy hunting.

haha i'm searching previous post to see whether WDHD internally decode HD-DTS or True-HD, 192/24 signals, or not
if not whether can output for AVR to decode or not
hehe

hope for some quick answers also.....ehehe

Thanks for the tip, would try to lookout for the "old box", as the stand would be a nice plus.

I guess it's between RM399 inclusive of HDMI cable OR RM370 plus buy your own HDMI cable (from Carrefour).

uncle, those are bd disc la, single layer bd disc, in klang valley tons now. not dvd. pirated bd.
