Thanks very much sir barrister. Your comment is 100% correct and helpful. Almost four hours was spent to try to trace the problem. Maybe my problem is the file I downloaded because when I tried DIVX files, it was ok then I played a 4gb file, it is ok, then I played a dts file, ok, then I went back to that file "I am legend, DTS" it did not play. ...
I'm glad you were able to confirm that your HDMI audio is OK.
The tendency is to think that downloaded files were all encoded with correct specifications. So if it doesn't play back correctly, the tendency is to blame the user's setup rather than the downloaded file.
The truth is that many of those downloaded files have compression and encoding errors. Remember that those uploaders are not professionals, they're just hobbyists. Many of them are just teen-age amateurs with nothing better to do with their time
. So it's not surprising that very few of them have the proper skills to come up with a high-quality video file.
So if your
I am Legend file has a bad DTS encode, don't blame your hardware.
... Before I read your comment I was thinking it is my HDMI cable, a "high speed Sony brand", thinking that a bigger file cannot be handled by my cable that's why I'm thinking of acquiring one that handles 3D, that 1.4 version cable, wishing I could play bigger gigabyte files.
Am I correct? Or you have other inputs? TIA.
An HDMI 1.0 cable can handle a 50 Gig Blu-ray. There's no reason why a High Speed HDMI 1.3 cable won't be able to handle a 4 Gig movie file.
Actually, a High-Speed rated HDMI 1.3 cable is already 3D-capable at full 1080p.
It's not true that you need an HDMI 1.4 cable to handle 3D. However, it is true that the devices (player, TV, AV receiver, etc.) must be HDMI ver. 1.4a so that they can handle the new EDID codes that set the 3D frame packing parameters.
If the devices (player, TV, AV receiver, etc.) are not HDMI 1.4a, the EDID parameters can't be read, and the 3D video can't be passed.
Buy an HDMI 1.4a cable now and you just waste your money.
