Does this stutter when playing back blu ray rips at about 30GB each (mkv or BDMV folders)
1980963
I have a mkv that is a 1080p rip, plays 100% fine over SMB on CAT5e wired gigabit and tips in at 15GB, not as far as you wanted to know, but it doesn't struggle for me. Hope this helps a little.

No it does not stutter. I have a mkv with very high bit rate (size around 30 GB) and it plays without any problem.

Yes - I've got it playing just fine off a 320Gb WD Scorpio blue (5400rpm drive) in an enclosure. Takes about 10s to read the folders and start playing which is nice (pay attention Pioneer! slow load times are frustrating).

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

to try and offer some advice: i just upgraded from the BDP83 to the BDP93, i have only watched 1 Blu on the new one (BDP93) but was amazed at the pic quality i had the BDP83 for almost a year before upgrading and the only issue i had was watching LOTR extended versions on DVD and would see a 'hiccup" every so often - i believe this was where they added the extended footage in - otherwise i NEVER had a single issue with my player with an Oppo or PS3 OR whatever bluray player you have or decide to buy i always make sure the firmware is updated to resolve any 'issues" you may have best of luck to you

I use powerDVD for my blu Ray player or you can spend more upgrading the software that comes with it (witch is only good for burning DVD and blue ray data disk) . For the money I recommend powerDVD its the best by far and don't let the name fool you it plays back blu ray too. I use if for 3d blu ray play back on my media center. Hope that helps. You got a great drive, put the now get the software and you will not be disappointed.

Works very well for me. I have tried mkv, avi, and mp4 with no problems at all. Only issue I have is if it is a blu-ray "backup" it will not play that. Any other "backup" from standard dvd's plays perfectly. I have been very pleased with the quality of this device in all aspects other than the blu-ray backups. Hope this helps.

The nature of the Blu Ray HDCP beast is that key packs are ever changing to combat piracy. Long story short there is currently no free playback codec that works well enough to be a full time solution. I use Win DVD 11, it comes with a 30 day free trial and was about 33.99$ USD as an upgrade from the demo. It works perfectly fine and they just released a new keypack update.

The sorting of files/folders was also discussed with customer service at KDLinks. I pointed this out to them and they claim that they will address it in a future firmware upgrade. I also pointed out that each time a new dvd .iso file is played, the Subtitle function seems to be "On" by default and it was suggested that they default subtitling to "Off". Hope this helps.

I have had the same frustrating experience, although I've not experimented with the same array of equipment as bwalter. Quite simply, I have a Pioneer Blu-Ray and (52") Plasma. And whether it's a Blu-Ray playing or a DVD being upscaled or a Region 1 or 2 disk, there's sometimes a video lag, but only sometimes! What I gather is that the plasma screen takes a little time to process its data, but it can be INCONSISTENT: It will sometimes shift within the same disk, which is why I've hesitated to buy an outboard audio delay controller. As bwalter asks, why is this problem not being seriously addressed, when clearly across the net there are many people posting complaints of this nature?

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

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

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

Thats a long freeze. I've never had one like that but I had plenty when I was using this player. It would freeze for about 10 seconds in several Blu-ray movies I owned. I've only heard about it from a handful of people so I'm wondering if random players are leaving the factory bad. Can you get a decent Blu-ray player for under 200 bucks? I had a Samsung before this that had Audio sync problems. At this point I have like 15 Blu-ray discs and no player. I refuse to pay more than 200 for one as I could spend a little more than that and build a Home Theater PC.

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

Discs load pretty fast (~20-30 secs for Blu-ray). During initial setup, select the quick load option.

Darrell. That I know of, it doesn't function as a recorder. Play back only. Great multiregion playback of dvds and blus.
