Oppo BDP-93 Official Owners' Thread

[SLT]

It's only being released in the US right now because Oppo wants to iron out any remaining bugs, so we need to wait a bit before international release. Hopefully, not too much longer. Will definitely keep all of you posted, thanks for the support!

Additional Disc & Media Formats - Additional disc and file formats, such as DVD, audio CD, HDCD, Kodak Picture CD, AVCHD, MP4, DivX, MKV, FLAC, WAV and other audio/video/picture files on recorded discs, USB or eSATA drives can be played back on the BDP-93.

 

eSATA Port – The BDP-93 features an eSATA port on its back panel. Consumers can take advantage of this fast eSATA connection to play contents from their hard disks full of audio, video and photo files. Most commercially available hard disks pre-formatted with NTFS, FAT32 and FAT file systems are supported, and file sizes larger than 4GB can be played back.

 

:o Finally FLAC & NTFS support.

 

So does it mean that with the 93, you no longer need a media player, like the AC Ryan, to play video files?

Does it come with any region free mod? :D

None known yet - if you get from USA direct it will be Region A and Code 1.

 

Oppo does not support large files or iso yet, you will need a Dune for this.

 

It may be worthwhile for audiophiles to see when the Oppo 95 is launched, esp for current Oppo 83 SE or Nu Force owners.

If those are the only formats you play, then yes.

 

But most NMTs are a lot more flexible than that.

Maybe I should sell away my Oppo 83 and AC Ryan and get this 93... :)

[Doggie Howser]

If you don't play CUE, OGG, BD ISO, BD folder etc, then I expect the BDP93 is just fine.

Here is from a post from the following link on Blu-ray.com. There are also some photos of the oppo 93:

The following is a email quote from OPPO Digital inc regarding streaming services on the OPPO BDP-93:

 

“We are looking into adding additional streaming solutions to the BDP-93. Vudu and other partners are being looked into, but unfortunately we can't comment on which solutions are current going through certification and what solutions are just on our radar. You will need to look for future announcements related to additional streaming support in our line of products.”

 

Quote regarding only one BDP-93 per invitation:

 

“Until the player is officially released, we are only allowing one order per invitation. Additional orders will need to wait until the player is Officially released.”

 

 

 

Some OPPO BDP-95 questions answered

 

 

1. Will the OPPO BDP-95 offer the same or different video processor when compared to the OPPO BDP-93???

 

OPPO Digital answer: “The BDP-95 will have the same video processor as the BDP-93.”

 

2. Also will the OPPO BDP-95 be exactly the same as the OPPO BDP-93 except for improved analog outputs??

 

OPPO Digital answer: “This is correct.”

 

3. When will the OPPO BDP-95 be released and what price will it sell for??

 

OPPO Digital answer: “We do not have a release date for this player nor a file price. We hope for less than a thousand dollars, with a release date early to mid-2011.”

Thieves take Blu-ray players from business near NorwichBlu-ray players worth a total of £90,000 have been stolen from business premises near Norwich.

 

The 180 boxed players were taken from a building on Hellesdon industrial estate some time between 1600 GMT on Sunday and 0900 GMT on Monday.

 

They are labelled OPPO BD UK 93, a model which is yet to be released in the UK, officers said.

 

Anyone who has been offered a player in suspicious circumstances should contact police.

 

;D

Sure is looking like it, if no further delays from Oppo!

Bro Des, seems like you've set your eyes on Oppo huh!

[Jacob305]

I think that the new oppo will be a huge hit and be better then the 83. I thought that I was going to have a problem, but it seem to work it self out. its weird, but i keep finding new stuff to renew the interested of the player. here are a few thoughts. I am also posting some thoughts that included from my ealier posting (the other oppo pre-release thread.) as well. as a recap for some that have missed it.

 

love the duel hdmi imputs. its awesome. I like how I can connect to the tv and use the receiver for sound.

 

I like how the display is. yes its a bit dark like the other said. I like that it has the display broken up with one on one side and the other on the other side of the disc drive. the lettering is a bit smaller so its fine to use the full and not dim like the 83.

 

I have played alot of movies and dvds. they look great. PQ and sound is more or less the same or even better of the 83. those concern about that should be fine. this is oppo that we are talking about.

 

I did fine some titles that were not enhanced for widescreen like the abyss, conan the destroyer, 6 days seven nights, and true lies. I remember having this problem with the panasonic player as well. I am not really worried about.

 

for some that like to have everything that works. the bdlive works for the most part. its seems to work better with the internal flash more so then the usb unlike the 83 where I had to use the USB for the bdlive.

 

I am having a minor issue with the netflix, in which is its not very smooth. Its not bad like the sony player problem. still a minor problem. the format for the netflix works nicely. it can choose genre and favoites. most people will be pleased with that.

 

I just have a simple set up with the duel HDMI. no analogs.

 

the issues with predators and alien are not present in the oppo 93. things are good to go.

 

any other questions? feel free to ask.

Simple question, playing srt or ssa or ass subtitle files, do the subtitles now have better fonts?

[Jacob305]

I really dont play any files.. do you mean when I am watching a blu ray or dvd?

Jacob

 

Pardon, was not clear. I mean watching playback of video files (e.g. avi, mp4) with attached subtitles. The oppo83 had horrible DVD-like font, I was wondering whether 93 improved on that.

[Jacob305]

I can check for you.

 

Jacob

[Jacob305]

it seems more or less the same as the 83. the subtitle.

Thanks Jacob, I think no point upgrading for me then. Getting a HDD media player will be better since I don't have 3D panels.
