Which shop in lowyat that sells for RM365??? Care to tell??
*
When i went to buy at lowyat, all the shops that i checked quoted me rm399.

My last stop was at cycom, the employee at the counter quoted me rm399 as well. i then took a look at their printed pricelist available at the counter, it was listed as rm365. i showed the pricelist to that sales person, he refered to the boss, and he sold it to me at rm365.

I am extremely happy with the wdtv. load it up with 1080p mkv and u have great pictures on yr plasmas or lcds.

I dont' think its firmware problem.  I have many mkv files that can be recognise and play on my PS3 via PS3MediaServer, but this Transformer file cannot be play too.  And it cannot be play on the WDTV too... I just think that the person who encode the video is not doing something right that cause the compatibilty issue.
yes u r right, it's a encoding issue. i have transformer 1080p. it plays fine on wdtv.

The WDTV cannot decode DTS. You have to use the optical out and connect to a dts enabled amplifier.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I just bought the WDTV and tested a few problem. Appreciate if someone can help on this

Settings: Sharp LC42A65M, Marantz 4500SR receiver, WDTV Version 1.01.02, WD My Passport Essential

Q1. All 1080p movies (mkv and avi) have a little bit lag(not smooth) when showing moving scenes (Eg: As per below youtube
0:10 to 0:12 when the stars resemble )
720p movies have no such issue

Q2. Using receiver to decode DTS from mkv file have very soft sounds from (left,right,surround speaker). Whereby the center speaker is loud and clear.



Notice this is different from other forummers where they encounter soft sounds from center speaker.

Q3. The remote is unresponsive sometimes.

Thanks.
*
Q1. On yr WDTV, try switching video output from auto>>1080p24>>1080p60. Usually one of the settings wud clear out the lag. If not, perhaps the file is not done properly at source.

Q2. Perhaps the source file, not done properly.

Q3. Yes, sometimes. Treat it a bit more gentle lar. It won't vroom vroom with multiple control presses. Ensure clear path for IR, press slower & firmer a bit. tongue.gif

Good luck!!

Yep, Band of brothers is definitely clipping every 5 seconds and i think most DTS audio MKV have the same problem.  I don't think its the problem of my AV receiver.  I am using denon AVR3805.

Its the problem with the WDTV firmware.  I read form other forums that many people having the same problem.  Some mkv with DTS plays fine,, but some just have the clipping audio problem.

i have a number of mkvs with DTS. no clippings so far.

Thank you CyberKewl.

Thanks again.

How to create our own thumbnails??
Is the old version firmware cannot show thumbnail?
*
For me, i just download the thumbnails from amazon.com or google pix. Using paint.net, i cropped, add text if required & resize them to 120x180 for the WDtv.

Yes, in my case. Only when i updated the firmware to 1.02.03, i can see the thumbnails.

So, we are talking about 120x80 size cover art right??

Is this the standard size?


Added on April 11, 2009, 2:46 pmI format my hdd to NFTS, using quick format. I think FAT32 is for older version of window. Some say after formatting to NFTS, it can release about 1-5% space in the hard disk. But mine is still the same after formatting. Maybe bigger size like 500gb or Itb can see the effect.

Errr .. it is 120x180, mikapoh. Yes that is the std cover art size for WDtv, as pointed out by ayell on page 76.
