Does this stutter when playing back blu ray rips at about 30GB each (mkv or BDMV folders)

I use xbmc, showbox, Netflix... It does the job well. I don't play blu ray rips. Spend the extra $ and get the new minix 8. Or great unit to add on and side load xbmc and showbox to would be Amazon firetv box, you can unlock usb port to play back video. I'm getting firetv box for my mom.

It loads very quickly once it's on and running...I don't know about Music or concerts...but all my movies load as soon as I select them on the hard drive

yes! I play mkv files on mine from an external hard drive. Occasionally the mkv will not read well on the blu ray player, even though it plays on a computer, but this is rare. good luck! -Jay

No, the read speed of the drive would be more than adequate. Blu-ray video bitrate is 40Mbit/s max. Typical low end hard drive read speeds start around 100MB/sec (I don't have the specs for this particular drive, however).

Apparently its a format issue. Any disc with BD-Java encoding will not resume. I like the higher res of bluray but hate pretty much everything else about the format. It is not consumer friendly in the least.

I have used this burner to rip my blu-rays with makemkv. Then just handbrake to shrink them down to size. Its time consuming but it is worth it to have them available to watch without having to get up.

It's probably because of your internet connection....try connecting your TV to your modem/router with an ethernet cable OR if that isn't an option, try going in to the Hulu settings and changing the speed of the video. On my blu-ray player I have to change Hulu to SD instead of HD to get shows to not stutter. It's a hulu problem, hulu hasn't figured out how to stream flawlessly like netflix does.

I have the BDP 83 Special Edition and the quality is great. I can't say anything about the 103 since I don't have that. It plays most any type of disc I have put in it. The one I have plays MKV videos from a USB flash drive as long as they are not bigger than 4GBs.

Not as far as I can tell. I've dumped my entire bluray collection to 2 5TB drives using MakeMKV where I preserve all the tracks without reencoding or anything like that. I haven't had any trouble whatsoever playing anything even known Cinavia protected movies like Amazing Spider-ManI don't think you have anything to worry about. Cinavia is only a requirement for BluRay players and since this doesn't have a BluRay drive you're in good shape

I have been able to play every Divx file I've thrown at it with no trouble. Saves a lot of time not having to encode and burn them to DVD, however on pan shots when there is a lot of information changing there is a stutter

I download movies on-line and convert them to mpeg. if necessary. I then put them on flash drive\thump drive and play them through my blu-ray player. Only thing I miss is closed captioning.

Geologist is correct, I think. It is a processing power issue. I have an old single-core Pentium 2.4GHz and no matter which player I try, I get stopping and starting when playing back.Strangely enough, I've had much better results by uploading the videos to the FlipShare website and playing them from there! I guess they must be compressing them somehow, which is ordinarily a bad thing but in this case allows you to see them without the "stuttering" in the playback.

For free, the Daum "PotPlayer" works well for computer BD "playback". Odd name but a good program. If you are willing to pay for a program for that, or to burn blu rays, go to CNET and they have lots of them to choose from - both free and paid versions, and CNET rates them by users and Editors ratings to weed out the bad programs. I prefer free. PotPlayer does Win 7, 64 bit, too.

I haven't used this feature much, but it has played an MKV file via a thumb drive on the USB port. I don't remember which audio/video codecs that MKV used. The Samsung page on it says that it plays "MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX HD, AVCHD, MKV, WMV" formats. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/blu-ray-dvd/BD-F5100/ZA-specs Hope that helps, -Dan

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.
