PopCorn A-400/410 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Re: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Από σύντομη (μερικών ωρων) εμπειρία:

Δεν ειναι κακό, σίγουρα όμως δεν εχει κάτι καλύτερο από το Dune που να δικαιολογεί τα λεφτα / υπαρξη των 2 πυρήνων.

Οποτε, ο μονος λόγος να το προτιμήσει κανείς θεωρώ ότι ειναι το ΝΜJ και ενα απλό αλλά cool feature να σου πετάει κάποια info της ταινίας σε στυλ media center χωρις να τρέχει NMJ ή κάτι τέτοιο - απλώς με το info στο folder browsing.

Κατα τα αλλα, λειτουργικά ειναι λίγο χειρότερο από το Dune (πχ κολλήματα σε TrueHD και 3D μεσω LAN).

Το περιμενα δλδ πχ πιο γρήγορο (που δεν ηταν).

Δεν ξέρω αν το καινούργιο NMJ είναι πιο γρήγορο..

Αλλά το NMJ (μέχρι και το προηγούμενο firmware) - για τα δεδομένα μου - ήταν αργό (ακόμα και με ενσωματωμένο ssd στο μηχάνημα)...
 
Re: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Aς γράψω και εγω στα γρηγορα...

1)Εξαιρετικη κατασκευή απο την Silverstone και πολυ καλό φωτιζόμενο remote (το καλύτερο στα media players)
2)Δεν θα σας παίξει καθόλου ταινίες με True Hd σε .iso η και σε mkv ακόμα.Σε κάθε αλλαγή chapter σπαει ο ήχος και ξανασυγχρονίζει σε λίγα δευτερόλεπτα.
3)Πολύ καλη γενικά αναπαραγωγή 2d.iso/bdmv απο gigabit δίκτυο.Επαιξε τα πάντα χωρίς σπασίματα.
4)3d απο δικτυο δυστυχώς έχει θέματα ακόμα.Seamless branching , disney τίτλοι , 2d απεικόνιση των 3d υπότιτλων.Πάντως το left/right sync το εχει λύσει με επιλογή στο setup.Καποια 3d.iso τα έπαιζε καλά , αρκεί να μην ειχαν τα πιο πίσω θεματα.
5)Πολύ αργό μενού.Απαράδεκτο για τον διπύρηνο επεξεργαστή που φοράει.
6)Μακραν το καλύτερο media player σε οτι εχει να κανει με εμφανιση menu , cover art και δευτερεύοντων ευκολιών (κατέβασμα υποτιτλων, εμφανιση movie info/artwork ασχέτως NMJ με το πάτημα ενος πλήκτρου)
7)Αρκετά restarts απο μόνο του ή bugs τυπου "δεν παίζει bitstream μετά απο θέαση dvd με dolby digital η pcm" .Tα έζησα.Δεν είναι πάντως τόσο ενοχλητικά οσο τα γράφω ...
8)Η εικόνα που δίνει είναι ολοιδια με του dune base 3d σε 1080p full blu ray.Εγινε θέαση Α-Β στον προβολέα μου.Τις επιλογές VXP τις ειχα απενεργοποιημενες σε HD υλικό.Οταν ενεργοποίησα καποιες απο αυτές άλλαζε οντως η εικόνα.Δεν έψαξα αν ηταν πιο σωστό η πιο εντυπωσιακό το αποτέλεσμα.Σε sd υλικο , μάλλον το VXP θα κάνει δουλεια...

Ολα τα παραπάνω πριν απο το fw της 19/04 που λένε οτι είναι πολύ καλύτερο και εχει πολύ βελτιωμένο NMJ artwork.

Γενικά δεν είναι καθόλου κακό και παίζει πολύ καλύτερα απο οταν πρωτοκυκλοφορησε.
Σε συγκριση με το Dune Base 3D, ειναι μακράν πίσω σε οτι εχει να κανει με σταθεροτητα αναπαραγωγής (fw σαν να λεμε), ειδικά σε 2d.Σαν κατασκευή και "gadget" ειναι μακράν καλύτερο (app store,NMJ,subs downloading)

Re: Απάντηση: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

υπαρχει καποιος ιδιαιτερος τροπος για να παιξει το Α400 εξωτερικους υποτιτλους σε BDMV?
Ενω επιλεγω title, και παω subtitle, δεν βλεπει εξωτερικο srt
Ο υποτιτλος ειναι τοποθετημενος με το ιδιο ονομα που εχει
πχ
φακελος Silver.Linings.Playbook.
μεσα στον οποιο μπαινει το
Silver.Linings.Playbooks.srt

ολα τα realtek ετσι τουλαχιστον παιζουν μια χαρα. Στο popcorn τι παιζει??
 
Απάντηση: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Προσπαθησε να βαλεις τον υποτιτλο εξω απο τον φακελο.
 
Re: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

τπτ. Ιδια συμπεριφορα και σε ISO οπου δειχνει μονο τους internal subtitles και οχι τον εξωτερικο με το ιδιο ονομα. Την ιδια στιγμη που το himedia μου παιζει κανονικα το iso με τον εξωτερικο.
WTF?
 
Re: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

γιατι δεν κανεις το m2ts απο το BDMV,mkv με mkv merge σε ελαχιστα λεπτα να βαλεις και οτι υποτιτλο θες,να μην εχεις θεματα
 
Re: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Μια απορία που είχα πάντα ήταν γιατί κολλάτε στις Full BD Movies ενώ υπάρχουν τα MKV Remux...(Η απορία γεννήθηκε μετά από το όλο θέμα των υποτίτλων)
Θεωρητικά δεν υπάρχουν διαφορές σε εικόνα-ήχο,έτσι δεν είναι?? Ή μήπως όχι??
 
Απάντηση: PopCorn A-400 (Sigma 8911 + VXP)

Εδω πολλοι δεν αλλαζουν καν το ονομα της ταινιας το αφηνουν καπως ετσι Avatar.by_mitsos.from_kostas.to_bagelis_spesial_edition.mkv αντι να το κανουν Avatar.mkv

σε 50+ ταινιες? Δεν ακουγεται ιδιαιτερα βολικο

Καποια releases εμφανιζονται μακραν πιο γρηγορα σε BDMV η ακομα χειροτερα δεν εμφανιζονται σε remux.

Τελικα ειδα πως ειναι (ω τι εκπληξη ) bug του μηχανηματος. Μεσω δικτυου δεν βλεπει εξωτερικους srt σε BDMV-ISO
