AC Ryan PlayOn HD Full Network Media Player is the best Media player I have had so far. I use it for storing all my Movies, Music and Photographs which I can scroll through within seconds. AC Ryan Player claims no other media player supports as many file types. Video playback is good, and it has no problems with a range of standard-def and HD files including DivX, H.264, SRT subtitles and a full HD M2TS Blu-ray rip. Audio support is even better with HDMI or digital audio pass-through for Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, Dolby TrueHD and AAC 7.1 plus stereo downmix of all except DD Plus.

Now I have some Blu-ray, DVD discs in hand, and I’m wondering if I can get my Blu-ray, DVD content for playback on AC Ryan Player. As can be seen as above, M2TS is included in AC Ryan Player supported format list...

I bought my very first 3D TV The M701d a week ago at Costco. It is the second largest LED TV in the M series for 2013/2014. The 2D picture looks great and it also has a very nice deep rich 3D quality picture. But right away I noticed some cross talking on the bottom part of the screen when I watched John Carter and The Hobbit, mostly when there was subtitling. I saw it really bad when watching Wreck-It Ralph last night. Depending on the depth of the 3D image, the cross talking is extremely noticeable on the bottom half of the screen. Watching a 16:9 movie, like The Avengers, is almost unbearable. It is a movie in Blu-ray disc.

As many Blu-ray players don’t support 3D playback, you may choose 3D Smart LED HDTV like Vizio 70″ M-Series to watch 2D/3D Blu-ray movies keeping 3D effect like me...

Aspect ratio is the way movie directors specify the actual size of the image that will be projected in the theater, as well as in the home. These ratios often confuse the heck out of consumers and the numbers can often be unwieldy. Traditional standard-definition television sets are built to operate at a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is much squarer than the 16:9 aspect ratio that is commonly found in HDTV broadcasts.

The motion picture industry puts a value of 1.0 to the video image’s height. Therefore, an “anamorphic” frame is described as 2.40:1 or “2.40.” In American movies, the common projection ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.40:1. CinemaScope, also known as 2.35:1, is another popular format used in filmmaking. Digital cinema uses 2.4:1 aspect ratio...

DTS-HD Master Audio is the latest uncompressed audio format and is available on Blu-ray discs. It is the DTS standard for high-definition audio output.  This format competes with Dolby TrueHD. With upwards of 7.1 channels of discrete surround sound and connected via copy-protected HDMI cables, DTS-HD Master Audio is at the pinnacle of surround sound technology for home theater.

As the premium high definition audio format for all applications, DTS-HD Master Audio is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. DTS-HD Master Audio includes the DTS “Core” track which is a lossy format but can be output via digital outputs (like optical or coax). DTS-HD MA has variable bitrates up to 24.5 mbps.

The only two ways to get DTS-HD Master Audio is either via HDMI to a receiver that can decode it...
