wow ganda nyan bro sleek and simple!

[Huddaf]

I was surprises actually when they claimed it could play real media files. Been trying to find a way to convert my RMVB files para playable sa egreat ko e. No success hehehe. I hope when this comes in here, it wont be that pricey! 

[uvax]

RMVB is a popular format in China. We just never get to see the media players that were designed for the Chinese domestic market. They all support RMVB.

Magkano kaya to in Peso?

Really? how come most NMTs are made in China? weird.

We only see a subset that is marketed outside of China. There is a great number of media players which we don't see that is sold only in the Chinese domestic market. The company where a friend of mine works was approached by a Chinese businessman who was looking for contacts to sell a China media player. It had rmvb support but no HD capability.

Try doing a search on google for "rmvb player". You'll be surprised.

[Huddaf]

Sayang di pa nila isinama sa mga HD media tank na avail dito hehehe

Kaya ka ya yun thru firmware upgrade lang?

have you tried tmpgenc 4.0 xpress?  works like a charm for me.  i tried converting an rmvb file to avi after reading your post and it went without a hitch.

Waaah, hows the quality? was there any degradation? Will look into that software later.

I didn't notice any.  File size and encoding time issues nalang siguro, depende sa settings, output format and encoder you choose to use ( I chose avi output with mp3 audio with ffdshow as my encoder para mabilis.   you can choose otherwise). This software is very useful, as it can handle almost any video format and has a lot of editing capabilities.

If this product's price-point is aimed squarely at the WD HD media player (rather than the popcorn hour), then you have the makings of a bestseller right here.

-Simple and fast plug-and-play connectivity (eSATA, USB 2.0)

Another player in the market. Available in amazon for $99.

Madami na tayong pagpipilian.

Anyone for group buy?

This nmt looks good! It also uses a Realtek (venus) chip plus Esata connector alongside with the USB connector.

merged topic with same one created by @huddaf.

[Clondalkin]

Too bad it does not have component video out.

[Bitstream]

A comparison, to give you some food for thought.  The ASUS O!Play, HDPro and other media players using the Realtek 1207 chipset are pretty generic in their features.

nasa 4940.00 ang presyo

[gaol]

nasa 4940.00 ang presyo

Hmm, that would make it one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, realtek player in the market.
