That is correct. If you were using any resolution other than 480i/576i and going through a DVDO video processor, then there is absolutely no need to request that firmware.

Thanks .... Looks like I don't need to get that firmware afterall and thus one less item for my "To Do" list.

Well I finally acquired the Seal Best: 1991-2004 3 disc Deluxe Edition. Much to my disappointment, on the DVD-A disc, I cannot get the "Best" section to play in hi-rez 5.1, only 2.0. The Acoustic section will play in both 5.1 and 2.0.

I have tried selecting it from the menu and using the Audio button to toggle between them. I just get silence even though my processor switches to "MULTICHANNEL" on the display like when it is getting MPCM. I was REALLY looking forward to this DVD-Audio. I would love to get this fixed. I am running Batch 4A-0111. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I figured it out. I remembered I had to switch the player to 720p/1080i for SACD so I tried that and it fixed it. This is a little annoying as I like to used 480p because of the vertical compression. Oh well at least I figured it out, sounds amazing.

2+ years of owning this player, and I have still never been able to play any Xvid file flawlessly. USB, SD card, DVD-R... results are never normal. The closest I've come is tonight, when playing a 384x288 file from DVD-R. The video is consistent, but the audio drops out briefly every couple of seconds.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or some optimization I need to do? I am running the latest stable firmware.

Thanks.

How are you connected for audio?

HDMI into Onkyo 606 for audio and video. DVDs play without a problem.

I'm getting studdering playback from discs burned from a Magnavox/Funai H2160MW9 stand alone recorder. I'm told it's some type of 'sync' issue (not lip sync).

What is happening is only the video is affected. The audio is soild. The video keeps 'jumping' ahead where it will play one second, skip a few frames, then play another second, skip again. I can correct the problem usually by stopping playback and then resuming. Sometimes I have to do this more than once. It doesn't happen in just one spot. It's anywhere and at any time as far as I can tell. I haven't watched a recording the whole way through. I assume, when it is running correctly, it stays that way.

It happens and three different types of media including T-Y 8x -R which was recommended. Previously I have been using TDK 16x which I won't purchase any more of. I also tried RiData 8x -R. All three produce the same results.
I was told that there is some 'issue' with these Oppos' and media burned on stand alone recorders. :confused: I have played dozens of discs burned in a PC, including Memorex and TDK with no issue.

These problem discs when played back using a older copy of 'Blaze DVD' show a similar problem. Here, the playback seems to be at 1 1/2x normal speed. On my other PC (same MB & O/S) using 'Media Player Classic', the problem is almost unnoticeable. Just a very slight hiccup.

Input?

Since, I've started using this via HDMI to my Samsung LCD, I cannot get PAL DVD's to show up. "Mode not Supported" says Samsung. The DVD menu does show up for a split second though.

Any ideas?

Is there a TV Type setting on the fifth menu? Is it set to AUTO? Try NTSC. (This from the way things work on other OPPO players).

Oops. Just needed to change the TV type in the setup menu from Auto to NTSC. Silly me.

Thanks.
