[iiinas]

tapos na! abangan ang resulta! paging sir pchin and sir streetmart. 

[JhunDV]

I'm waiting for the results also.

[ESi]

Not to preempt our gracious hosts of the results of the shootout, all I could say is it was truly a very enlightening and educational evening for all of us. I have never been to a very formal and well organized shootout like that. It was complete with score cards, very comfortable seating, a truly well calibrated HT, siomai, chips and dips, Pansit malabon, and an assortment of drinks. It was also a chance to meet colleagues in the hobby and share one's thoughts and knowledge about it. It was very nice and enjoyable meeting everyone! I'll just wait for either Sir Mark or Paul to post the results. Bravo guys and my sincerest thanks.

[Moks007]

I have to say that this is the most enjoyable time I had as a pinoydvd member. A lot of laughs with the great/cool fellow members, kuentohan, eating etc. I would like to thank Sir Mark and Paul for organizing this, setting up everything and especially to Sir Mark for letting us use his place. Paul with his 983, and the rest of the gang with all their dvd players to make this a success.

I will let streetsmart and pchin do the honors in telling you guys the results after everything they went thru to make this shootout a success.
All I have to say is there are really some surprises.. ..Stay tuned..Do I sound like Bill Hunt?

oo nga sir angelo and sir raymond, truth be told it was the kwentuhan and exchanging of info and experiences that was really enjoyable for me personally than being one of the judges in the shoot-out (kakatakot pag mali pili mo!  ). but again, kudos to sir mark and sir paul for organizing this shoot-out, my first eb and shoot-out, and it was a great experience!

results na.....   

[juanch]

It was an honor to meet all of you guys.
And a BIG thanks to sir streetsmart and pchin for organizing this get together.

It was really fun and it was also an eye-opener for all of us.
Great conversations, fantastic food, comfortable seats, all great people.

Sir streetsmart truly has an exceptional HT
Nabibitin nga ako eh.
I wanna watch a full length movie there 

[ESi]

Ditto!

[streetsmart]

Thanks for all the members that participated in the shoot-out, and especially those that contributed their dvd players and dvd's.

Paul and I acted as hosts and organizers while the judges were:

1. ESi
2. Juancho
3. gearhead
4. jollibeemcdonald
5. sanmig_ph
6. zedric
7. saxman
8. iiinaslao
9. moks007
10. mercury724

The players tested were as follows:

1. Oppo 983
2. Oppo 981
3. Oppo 980
4. Pio 600
5. Tosh XA2
6. Tosh A 35
7. Panny BD30
8. PS3

Due to technical issues and time constraints, we were unable to test the Pio 600 passing through the Denon 2808.

The first test was to rate each player, based on the HQV benchmark test. Results were:

1. Oppo 983 - 89.67 pts
2. PS3 - 88.5
3. XA2 - 87.56
4. BD30 - 75.44
5. 981 - 74.6
6. A35 - 69.16
7. 980 - 68.9
8. Pio 600 - 55

My main conclusion here is that the Pio 600 is way behind in performance.

Next test was to pit 2 players vs each other till we had one winner. Results were:

First round
983 d. Pio 600 6:3
A35 d. BD30 5:4
980 d. PS3 5:4
XA2 d. 981 10:0

Note that there were some abstentions

Second round
983 d. A35 6:2
XA2 d. 980 4:3

Final round
983 d. XA2 4:3

So, the winner is the Oppo 983!!!  

Caveats:
1. This only judges players, not AVR's and projectors which can also handle video processing.
2. There were a few errors committed during the shoot-out, although we believe these were relatively minor.

Thanks again to everyone who participated! I believe we all learned a lot, had a lot of fun, gained new friends and had a masarap merienda.  

[streetsmart]

We had intended to do an SD vs BD test and a guessing test, wherein the judge guesses whether the disc is BD or SD. Masaya yun kasaya maraming daya kami ni Paul Chin, using processors, *special* discs and *special* players.

Due to time constraints, di naman nagawa. Nonetheless, we were still able to demo a lot of the special material and I think everyone was quite shocked at how good the pq was. 

Let me reiterate that I think the best thing was that everyone was just so cool and friendly. Masaya talaga. 

[streetsmart]

Let me also say that Paul and I did a lot of testing of BD vs. SD and we can only conclude that SD can get extremely close to BD, especially if you have the right equipment (player, processor).

To an untrained eye or at a far-enough distance, you will see no difference. But there is definitely a difference, especially as your eyes are trained. Translation: OCD.
