Oppo Digital BDP-83 Player

$535.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
other bdp-83 virtue is the speed response and efficacy to any prompted action over different discs formats, bd load and reproduction, search, etc., everything does it almost at dvd normal time.
from www.amazon.com
still, this oppo is one top-notch blu-ray / dvd up-converting player that plays a lot of formats and matches or betters the playstation for "speed" (i think that's a first).
from www.amazon.com
however, i had to convert the hd to fat32 format (as opposed to the standard ntfs) in order to use it.

Philips DVP5990

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i was stuck with a set of foreign dvd in pal format that i got at ebay because the seller said it was in ntsc format.
from www.amazon.com
this was an upgrade to our earlier philips dvd player (not sure of the model), the major improvement in this is that it plays more formats than the earlier one we had (mpeg4 for example).
from www.amazon.com
you can use a usb drive to play content from your computer in various formats, and you can also order dvd's from other regions and it works as long as you set the region to "0".
from www.amazon.com
i had a hard time getting my external hard disk to be readable, but then realized it had to be formatted with fat32.

Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray Player

$195.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it took me awhile to figure out why i couldn't get my system to play either lossless audio format until i had to go into the dvd menu to change the hdmi's audio output to hd audio.
from www.amazon.com
i guess my issue is that hd-dvd was the superior format in the sense that it was a completed format when it was released and it was affordable.
from www.amazon.com
excellent image quality on blu-ray discs; profile 2.0 compliant; onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, plus bit-stream output.but playstation 3 offers much more functionality
from www.amazon.com
but it seems like it doesn't support the old vcd format.
from www.amazon.com
dvds are upscaled to 1080i however for sound, it outputs to my receiver in an analog format through the hdmi cable which cannot be decoded with my receiver.

Philips DVP5992/37

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
that being said, the movies and mp3s it did work on it did a great job on, and that was most of them and you can always convert your files to a format this reader understands before putting them on
from www.amazon.com
if you looking for player that does upconverting, support multiple video files format and low cost buy it.
from www.amazon.com
the usb input on the front of the player will accept a flash drive or an external hard drive as long as its formatted in fat32 if its over 32gig in size.
from www.amazon.com
this means i can use a free conversion program to make all my avi's into a format that can be played on this player.
from www.amazon.com
if one requires much better responsiveness and the ability to play 99% of available formats xbmc on xbox360 is still the best choice.

if you're like me and your receiver doesn't have hdmi in, nor does it decode any of the new hd audio formats, but does have discrete 5.1 or 7.1 inputs, you would be hard pressed to get a better blu
from www.amazon.com
- it decodes all next-gen audio formats (the 350 does not decode the one that is not used much, and i am reading that they will upgrade that via firmware, so minor difference).
