Guys, please confirm. Can the WDTV plsy DVD ISO files? If yes, would the menu of the movie also work? Thanks in advance!

barrister · « **Reply #484 on:** Jan 19, 2009 at 09:28 PM »

Yes, ISO plays. Menu does not work.

WD has bugs on ISO playback. Only a firmware fix can solve the problem. Not recommended in the meantime.

Thanks, Sir barrister for the information.

Was finally able to track down a unit yesterday thanks to a post here in PinoyDVD. First thing I did of course was to update the firmware. Quite straight forward. Nakakatakot lang talaga while waiting for the progress bar to finish na baka magka power fluctuation. Fortunately I had a UPS so no worries.

Loading/mounting of the drive (1tb) is not that quick. More than 30 seconds by my estimate. No big deal. Just wish it was faster.

Though I understand the NMTs take a couple of minutes to boot (tama ba?) so panalo pa rin ang 30+ seconds.

This morning I inspected my 1080p files and they were all playing well. Even fast forwarding and skipping 10mins forward. There were no problems. I was also using the next button to go to the next movie. After 5 or so movies (when it reached TDK 16gb incidentally), it showed a black screen for the longest time. I wasn't that worried initially because I know it plays. I thought maybe it just needed a reboot. So I did. Wala pa rin. Pati eject and remount. Pati on/off of both the drive and the device. At first I thought something was wrong with the drive--that the files had been corrupted. (Note: I can see the drive and the files. I just couldn't play them--any of the files by this time.) I tried a flash drive and it wouldn't play either. So now I thought I broke the unit! Finally I reset the device (in the system menu). And finally it worked. Checking the settings afterwards, nothing seems to have changed so I don't know if the reset fixes something else other than the user controllable options. Something to watch out for though.

The good news is it played all the 1080p files I tested (almost 20) without any problems. May artifacts lang yung Sin City. Not sure if the file itself is corrupt. I'll try it on my laptop later.

So anyway those are my initial impressions. Forgive the length. Kindly post if you've exprienced anything similar.

On my wish list for the next firmware update: frame by frame or still/step. It's standard on DVD players so they should put in that feature, too. For those with the Egreat or Popcorn hour, does your NMT have this option?

its the limitation of mkv. but you can use muxers to edit it to your desired chapter cuts ..

No, external optical drives do not work on the WD.

im currently using my WD to my onkyo receiver... what video settings do you guys normally use if my receiver will upscale the images?

thanks

RJ Angeles · « **Reply #500 on:** Jan 21, 2009 at 11:26 PM »

people say that it cant decode DTS and AAC so if i put the WD straight to my TV via HDMI and the file that im playing is DTS and AAC meaning walang sound na lalabas from my TV? and also if i connct it to a receiver may sound kaya na lalabas kahit DTS or AAC ang file na play ko?

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #501 on:** Jan 22, 2009 at 05:43 AM »

Bakit pag digital and audio na nilagay ko sa settings ng WD ko walang sound. I am using a toslink cable from WD to my receiver.
Pag stereo option naman meron sound. Ano mali?

RJ - sa pagkakainyindi ko tama ang sinabi mo. Walang sound pag sa TV. Pag sa receiver naman kung meron docoder and AVR mo meron sound. but let's wait for the experts take on this.

I would really love to buy the popcorn 110 over the WD HD, my only drawback is its price.

Meron din DTS decoder ang KAIBOER K100/K200 NMT. Halos sinlaki din ng WDTV at mas mura kaysa POPCORN.

Mga bossing, can you help me? I just got my wd tv hd media player two days ago. kaso, while playing lord of the ring two towers nawala agad yun video in the beginning of the movie, kya wala nako makita though naririnig ko pa rin yun audio tuloy tuloy. Anu kaya problema nito? yung part lord of the ring 1 ok walang problema but yung two towers may prob. Ganun din yung harry potter yung ibang series nawala yun video pero you can still hear the sound while its playing

question: anu kaya problema nito yung video file or yung player?
