Oh, I see.  thanks for pointing that out.

Now that you mentioned it, I recall also asking the same thing to a salesman at Ansons more than a year ago. The player wasn't blu-ray or HD DVD but was in a sealed casing proprietary to the brand and not for sale.  It would play a 20-30 minute HD material on a loop so it gets displayed over and over.  So it must be using a hard disk alright.

@dts_HD and @av_phile1,

Yep, those are exactly what I meant  :)

They just keep saying its playing from a Hard Disk so I just curious what they meant.. playing AVI files? DivX files? MKV files? or DVD/ Bluray Image (ISOs ) and its playing like a Virtual Hi-Def Player or Bluray Player..or some propietary format/codec?  Ganda kasi ng PQ e.. just wanted to know if i can achieve same results if I can get access to similar files..

Of course they cant answer the question.. so i was just wondering if anyone here knew.. :)

i think they would be using avchd codec, specially for those scenes that looks like its been taken from an hd video camcorder. i said avchd because i have seen mkv version of these files and their original source files were avchd.
