Will it play ISO image file of DVD? With full DVD menu support? Just wondering if anyone has tried ISO image files.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Yes. Supported disk formats are: BD, BD-R,BD-RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-VIDEO, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW. Video Formats: H-264, VC1, MPEG 1/2/4. Audio formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, MP3. Photo Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. I just quoted the specs in the manual; it is a very versatile player. But I believe I read a review somewhere stating there was an old and a new VCD format; this unit will play the new VCD format but perhaps it may not play the old VCD format.

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

Donald, Have you had any success fixing this problem? I am having the same problem, I try transferring DVD files to the MP3 and it seems to work, but when I go to play the video on the mp3 it gives me an error. I think it needs to be converted but don't know how. Thanks.

I'm sorry but I can't assist you with this issue, since I don't use AVI files. We bought it because it played 3-D and all region DVD's. The problem we had was that the sound gave out on it after 6 months. I learned its better to pay a little more and get something that's more reliable. We threw ours out. We paid $135.00 for a new one at Best Buy(brand was LG), and bought a Best Buy warranty for $25.00. It doesn't play all-region DVD's, but we already have several all-region players. There haven't been any problems. If we did have the problems you're having, we'd be able to go to Best Buy and get some answers. I understand Orei doesn't have the best customer service-something to think about when buying reliable appliances. I still like buying appliances on line, but I stick to reliable brands. We bought 2 Vizio television sets from Amazon, and haven't had a whisper of a problem with either. I'm sorry to hear about your problems with your Orei. Hopefully, you won't have any more problems. Have a nice day. Thank you! Linda

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

Mine plays any type DVD I've put in it. I didn't have to change any thing. Perhaps you screwed something up by changing to PAL. Did it come with instructions? I'd advise reading them. I had no problem, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working ever since. I've played region 2, 3 and others without having to change any settings or do anything.

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.

Thank you Paulo for your inputs.Can you tell me wich is the best brand and model ( in HD format) to upscaling my Standard DVDs??? with the capability to reproduce dvds in free region??Tk you

It only lists the following formats as playable: Multi-format playback: Capability now includes DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback for flexible playback options.BD is not among them. I say that because, while I own one, I've never actually tried putting a blu-ray disc directly into the drive. As far as I know, it is strictly a DVD player. I use a PS3 for my blu-ray needs.I would opt for something else if you want blu-ray capabilities.

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

I'll plug in my external hard drive and see. My only concern would be the slower USB 2.0 port. I have a 3 terabyte drive inside the AIOS and I play Blu-ray iso files all the time. I'll rip a disk to folders instead and put it on the portable drive that will connect via the front USB port. I'm copying a set of Blu-ray files to the player today, so I'll see how well it works versus .iso.

This RCA TV definitely plays DVDs! It was a Christmas gift for my daughter and she said that it plays her DVD movies flawlessly. I cannot answer about other region formats and have had no experience with using a dish, but it works beautifully with Roku streaming video and computer streaming. Neither of us have BluRays and know nothing about their requirements. Actually, when I was researching I didn't see any models with built-in BluRay - but that might have been because I wasn't looking for Blu-Ray. I have the same model (one year older) and we are both very pleased with audio, picture quality, color and ease of operation. and yes, it can be mounted. We are both very happy with this choice.

This unit is not a Blu-ray player, if you are trying to play a Blu-ray DVD than that is the problem. This unit will play conventional DVDs, all I did was inserted a DVD into the player and it launched Windows media player, I'm sure you can use any media player that you want to use that will play DVDs. If nothing else you can go to the windows menu and click on my-computer and find the icon that represents the player and double-click on it and you should get a menu of possible programs to open the player and click on one of those, one should be Windows media player and any other media player that you have.
