But if I convert the same movie to MKV formate. I have no issue with the audio drop streaming from the same server. I put the Blu-ray folder on a USB drive and has the same issue. So that rules out a network issue.
Perplexed.
Thanks for any help suggestion.

Is it possible that the Blu Rays movies are seamless branch?

1-you rip with makemkv (mac version) you will end with mkv file correct ?
2.- than you convert to mkv again ? what program ?
what file has issues and what dont have issue ?

Sorry for the confusion, I can rip to Blu-ray folder or to MKV with MakeMKV. All my movies are in folder format right now. I can also use MakeMKV to convert the folders to MKV.

The movies in the folder format all have audio drop issue. But If I use MakeMKV to convert the content of the same Blu-ray folder movie to MKV. I have no audio drop issue.

MakeMKV cannot output to ISO format.

i guess you have a few seamless branched titles in iso format.

The only player I've found that handles this properly is the built-in USB player in my Samsung 3dtv.

From what I gather the OSD will look right with framepacked output, but not if i just output the HSBS in "2d" and force my TV into SbS. Framepacked 3d on this player apparently has a 23.976/24.000hz glitch in some situations, and the framepacked stream can't be passed through by many "old" HDMI 1.3 AVRs.
Since HSbS files will not get a resolution benefit being converted to a framepacked output, it makes the most sense just to output them in 2d and use the SbS feature of my TV. The problem is I can't find a player that will adapt it's OSD for a TV that's forced into SbS mode.
Does anyone get what I'm saying?

I'm still lost on finding a player can adapt it's OSD for a TV in SbS mode. Anyone have any advice?

I believe with optical you will get the DTS 5.1 core (hopefully someone else can confirm this). I think the downmix to 2ch stereo is specific to HDMI

if you are mention the 2D sbs files , well i tried one with 1.0.5 and previous versions and works fine, but you have to manually switch to 3D in player.
during the 2.0.0 beta it failed to play it, dont no the cause.

Image Re-sizing Struggle?

I am struggling Filling my VT50 Plasma screen with a Bluray ISO playing on the 600 via external usb hard drive?

The image appears like a has 2" black borders left and right which is acceptable, but top and bottom 4-6" borders on my 65" diag. screen. seems rather large

MED600X3D settings;
16:9
screen size menu adj- I moved the red box lines in and out both vertically and horizontally, little effect....


Panasonic VT50 TV settings-
16:9 (option for 16:10?)
*Note- TV you can select full, justify, zoom, only when cable tv is playing
I select "Zoom" once you play a BD ISO on the 600 you cannot change modes.

Do I have to live with those large borders or is there a way to tweak most of them out?

Thanks Vince

if you adjust the red lines in video setting put them on default, go to system put default

Look at the thread on Med1000X3D. It cut of the pixel on right and bottom. Don't adjust the red box lines. That would compress the image. For the TV, make sure overscan is turn off. You wouldn't see 4" border. Also, make sure pixel orbitor is OFF or AUTO. I own a ST50 and loss around 1 pixel on the right and bottom.

I'm uncertain from your post but did you try the Zoom feature on the Mede8er? You can zoom to width, zoom to height, or zoom x,y independently.

Canton160. rjyap,djc1369-

Now I'm all messed up!

now I have 2 foot black borders around whole ISO image! to get out of this- If I choose "ZOOM" on the TV, I can use ZOOM feature on the 600 to stretch Promethius 3D to 134% vertical 100% horizontal. But 600 GUI skewed off the screen, cannot leave this way!

Since I messed with the red lines, is there a way to restore the 600 to red line default, or the 600 to default (not preferred)?

rjyap- TV settings overscan/ pixel orbiter set to enabled or disabled only choices, enabled by default....

Panasonic VT50 TV allows you to pick from the following aspects Ratios for 1080p material: full/justify/H-Fill/4:3/zoom (weird thing is 4:3 is used in the description for all of them in the manual, the Panasonic 211 page manual mentions the word 16:9 only once for cable TV input box only.

I need to re-scale red-lines of the 600 since the GUI menus are skewed off the screen, I have to scroll left or right to see the icons now.

thanks for the help so far....

Vince

You need to disable overscan and pixel orbiting in order to get 1:1 pixel mapping. Don't use any zoom feature on TV or Med600X3D. Try to reset your Mede8er to default seting and don't adjust the red line. There is a bug in the unit where it will cut off the pixel from bottom and right most pixel.

I recycled power on the 600, and the red lines appeared very small box, moved them back to full 65" diag size, and put the TV in "full" or "full justify", now 600 GUI menus look normal, and Promethious 3D fills whole screen with 134%/100% ratio

thanks guys for guidance

rjyap-

VT50 TV is smart enough to disable pixel orbiter on its own.
TV aspect ratio = Full

If I dont use the ZOOM feature on the 600, and keep x/y values 100%/100%, my black bars on top and bottom are like 4-5 inches!
Horizontal I'm good right to edge of screen!

Movies tested Promethius 3D and IP man 1 (both 45GB bluray ISO no compression)

If that's wide screen movie, it's correct to have black bars on top and bottom. The orbiter turn on does cut off some pixel from time to time when it "shift" the pixel. It's been tested on HTPC HDMI output. Maybe you are looking to stretch a 2:40 movie to 16:9 format? I think in this case, use 600X3D zoom function.

****... eek.gif Is there any way of bringing the red line back to default setting without resetting the entire device to default setting?.. I have made lots of changes to other settings, and it would be a pain to have to redo all these just because I was stupid/curious enough to tweak the red line/screen size setting. I really want 1:1 pixel mapping since I have spent so much money on my TV... mad.gif

Rjyap-

you are right, the movie was 2.40 aspect ratio...for 16:9 movies I should not need zoom function..

thanks for the help

Anybody having issues playing BD rips using clownBD?
My movie file pauses around 15-16 minutes into the movie. Doing a next chaper get its back to life again and then I need to rewind back to where it froze. This is not networking related because it occurs when I play the movie through USB too.
Also my popcorn hour A-300 plays these movies flawlessly over the network.

Just about all my BD rips are made with CLown_BD and I don't recall encountering this issue with the 1000X3D

Strange. Are your files having the iso extension? It could be that my unit is defective.

No, I keep as a folder rip. The only time I use ISOs is for 3D Blu Rays (which then I obviously don't use Clown_BD for), Would be interested to hear if others using Clown_BD created ISOs are having the same issue (possibly a mounting issue)?

Can you take one of your ISOs and convert it into a folder rip, and see if you encounter the same issue?

Mount it with a virtual drive, like Slysoft's Virtual Clonedrive, and then drag the BD folder to where you want (it copies it). I've experienced a few issues with BD ISO on the 1000X3D with DTS MA sound track, occasional video stutters and momentary audio drops. They were created by folder rip from DVDFab and then Imgburn to create the ISO. MKV seems much more reliable so far. In case your interested I'm mounting the ISO and then using MKVmerge to create the MKV. A little faster than starting from disc again.
