HD-video playing: What do I need to play it right?
875371
You need to get media player classic - home cinema and make sure it's set up so that it's using CUDA. CUDA is NVIDIA's codec that makes some processing go to the GPU. I don't know the exact steps right now but the myhpmini forums should have some resources about this.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

So my non-hd movies from other regions would be able to play on this player in the upconversions with no problem? Thanks for the info.

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

The picture quality depends on your file. If you have a video file or a photo of low quality/resolution, do not expect too see it as HD.If you have high quality files, then it will play them great.

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

Yes I have played 1080p mkv and mp4 off external drive with minimum lock ups. Would recommend leaving the processing for another computer and load Plex home theatre on this guy for streaming.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

I used it on HD, I think I would use the cheaper one, it will proably work just as well.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

If this is the initial setup then Im not sure. Try going to the settings and erase all of the video on the hd. Also check your settings. If you select rewrite it will write over the oldest clips

It was meant for media stuff (even has the Media Center button built in near the power button), but last time I tried, I think the super HD videos (like 1080p) do slightly lag, and other resolutions under that should play fine. Also consider the fact that the max memory supported by the motherboard is 2gb.

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

HD is digital. Digital either works or it doesn't. It is not like analog signals where you can have varying levels of performance. If the HD picture is not breaking up then this signal booster should not give you an improved picture.

Thats like getting a lambo with with a smartcar engine under the hood. You can do that but you wont have the quality of a hd picture. Just when you have to select picture quality select 480. Most players have the outputs you will need to connect it.Only do it if your real close to buying a hdtv. If your waiting til xmas sales or after first of the year i would buy a cheap dvd player as the prices for bluray players and coming down.

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.
