Apparently, decent upscaler, basic decoder. Handles many formats but only decodes SD. Upscales to 720p though via HDMI. Noice.

Hogzy

Just to let people know this does NOT have DTS.


Just getting that in early because people WILL be asking!!!

I think theres a limitation to its HD decoding too... only mpeg2 HD not h264 HD formats or something like that

Haha yeah I said that check my post again...only SD decoding (though you're right, it decodes MPEG-2 HD but I've never seen an MPEG-2 HD file.)

There are countless Blu-ray movies encoded in MPEG-2.

The first ones were but I believe they updated it to a better codec? Anyways why would you transfer an MPEG2 Blu file straight to a HD when you could just play it on your player?

yeah sorry ... good price but still might be better putting the money you'd spend on this towards a WD player

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 are the most commonly used video codecs on Blu-ray, but there are still movies being released on Blu-ray in MPEG-2, e.g. The Descent (US).

As to your question, I would hazard a guess that people who have ripped copies of Blu-ray movies in MPEG-2 might wish to use such a player.
