The 93, as sold on OPPO Digital's web site, was priced at $499, new, just the same as the 103 is now. The 103 is indeed the replacement model for the 93.

The the time counter on the front of the Oppo is counting and is accurately representing where in the file timeline the .mts file is during this period and when the file and sound appear we are already into the clip by 2 - 6 seconds.

I have my Oppo HDMI plugged into an Onkyo NR906 which feeds the Pioneer Kuro HDMI input. I wonder if this is occurring in the Onkyo and the Oppo is putting out video from second one?

Is this true (see below)? If so, is it because the firmware on the 93 is not capable of being so upgraded, or is Oppo trying to give a reason for 93 owners to ditch the 93 for the 103? If the latter, that is disappointing.

Anyone know the real story?

"The OPPO BDP-103/105 supports VUDU 3-D and 7.1 surround sound. The old OPPO BDP-93/95 will not be getting a firmware update to support VUDU 3-D with 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus (The old OPPO interface only offers VUDU 2-D with 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus) ."

My "music dashboard" (9" LCD display) that I use to navigate my networked music without turning on my projector wouldn't work with the 103/105 because the new models have dropped the analog composite video jack the 9" display needs!

I have an Oppo BDP-93 connected to a BenQ W7000 projector and one of my ideas is to present "1950s" evenings, similar to what would have happened in a 1950s movie theatre. So, before interval there might be:

• My own introductory fanfare-type thing
• A newsreel
• A Tom and Jerry cartoon
• A home-made short
• A Tarzan movie (or whatever)

After interval would come the main feature.

The originals of the various segments would be in a variety of formats: PAL, NTSC, BluRay, AVCHD, with various resolutions and frame rates, but I should be able to convert all of them to a single format such as MKV. My idea is to order the videos in the correct sequence by renaming alphabetically, then hit play. I'd like the playback to be seamless, but the Oppo pauses between videos with a "Source Searching" message. This leads me to a number of questions/comments:

1. Is it possible to string together a series of videos and have them play seamlessly on the Oppo? Or is the problem with the projector?
2. Would other players, say the Sony Playstation, be capable of gapless video playback?
3. I could use my computer running VLC to play the videos in sequence, and I'm pretty sure that would result in gapless playback, but I'd rather not use my iMac.
4. Is it possible to combine all the videos into one huge file with suitable software? I could convert the Blu-rays, DVDs, and home-shorts to MKV format, but can a single MKV file contain several videos stitched together, each with different resolutions and frame rates? And I would rather not have to re-encode; just join the videos together.

To sum up: is it feasible to link together several videos and then at a press of a button have them play seamlessly? What equipment, software, format would be required?

Any suggestions most appreciated.

I always had my bd player set to Auto, but I read that D-Nice recommends setting color space to RGB 16-235 and he said that Pioneer do internal processing in RGB.
So I assume setting the bd player to output 'Source Direct' and set space to RGB 16-235 does the least amount of processing and sampling for the Pio Kuro?

Try doing a search for "Ratatouille" on this thread.... Bob Pariseau posted some great info on how to use a test scene in that movie to test for the best colour space/resolution settings.

I could be wrong though so don't quote me on this. See if D-Nice or another ISF certified calibrator can answer this.
