- QuickTime Full HD videos (MOV) from the Nikon SLR with sound
- Canon HS-280 Full-HD video (MP4) with 30 and 60 frames per second, the latter stutter (which it in Windows Media Player also do though)
- Copies of Blu-ray videos (BDMV) on hard disk when all the files are there, correctly reproduced
- Full HD AVCHD files from Canon camcorders (MTS / M2TS) and 50i are perfectly even bezgl deinterlacing.
- Self-cut low compressed MPEG2 Full-HD video with 50 and 80 Mbit / s
- Photos from camera viewfinder and 16 MBit Nikon SLR (as JPG, not as RAW) can be viewed on Beamer in the slideshow in Full-HD quality, when the video mode is set to Auto or 1080p HDMI. The image quality is then very presentable. The slideshow generates beautiful, selectable transitions and the display time can be adjusted pragmatically with 3, 5, 10, 20 or more seconds.
So far so good, but the box has a rather nasty catch: The faulty implementation of auto-HDMI. Auto HDMI to ensure that the read frame rate (24p, 25p, 30p, 50i, etc.) is sent with the appropriate refresh rate to the projector / TV. O! Play but always sends 1080p at 60Hz, which is why, for example, DVD video files at 25 frames / s are reproduced restless. Although you can work around and adjust 1080p 50Hz hard, but looking at the crate off (power off), then he forgets the setting and start again with 480p. So one is forced to accept the 1 watt standby mode, or every awkward to make the correct setting in the menu. My Pioneer Bluray Player detects the frame rate of USB-established media and automatically selects the correct frequency - so should be! (He of course other drawbacks). In Bluray playback in 24p the thing works correctly (if the option is enabled in the setup), which proves that this is a bug.
What I also miss is an automatic standby function after 10 minutes of film operation or something. If you forget to disable namely, then the hard drive continues to run cheerfully.
Unlike other reviewers, I find the scan time acceptable. One should better not have thousands of MP3 files on his record, if you mainly want to watch movies - then that works too. However, one must know that Bluray images not full-featured (as chapter jump back etc. Replace) can be played back via the File Manager if you have turned off scanning. In short, without scanning can forget Bluray. I think that should not be: You could also scan briefly locally in the file manager. This could be improved.
Because of its good image quality and the low price, I go grudgingly the compromise, but I can fully recommend the O! Play Mini VA for Bug og not.
