@SuperFist,

I had problems with Audio files also and I went back and forth with firmware till I got one that will work!

Theres an semioffical R21 3.0.1.7 release also! I asked aasoror about it and he said they have reverted back and forth on the Audio drivers!

The R21 plays the DTS-HD MA just fine! I've also found just re-doing the same firmware from USB will also work! Had to do it a couple of times!

@MAINEMAN, you should be paid for product indorsment!

Thanks 8855A,

I'll certainly try R21 on for size and see how it fairs. Like I said, even with the audio dropouts, this player is definitely still worth it! Regardless, no more disc burning for me!

However, in the R21 release notes it says they "reverted" the Audio drivers. Doesn't this mean they reverted to R20 or R19 which I already tried? Just wondering...

@SuperFist,

Yes, thats right! I also tryed the 3430 beta and it corrected my Audio too!, but I went back to the R21, like what aasoror had done with things!

aasoror is awesome, isn't he!?!

Right now I'm flashing up to 3.0.1.7 R21 and trying that on for size. And just for the record, R18 & R20 both have audio driver 360747, but R19 has 394801. If R21 doesn't fix the audio dropouts, all I'm left to really try out is the 3.4.3.0 beta. Keep your fingers crossed for me. This is my last kink to work out. All of the other wonderful features on the AIOS I have no need for. I just want my blu-rays to play flawlessly.

EDIT: I just found out R21 has the same driver as R19 (394801). I have no choice but to check out the latest beta.

[SuperFist]

Crap! It looks like the new 3.4.3.0 beta has the same audio driver (360747) as semiofficial firmware R18 & R21. I guess I'm going to have to hold out until they can fix the audio dropout problem in a future firmware.

Does the Pivos AIOS HD Media Play 3D ?

[Jonatan]

3d

Iv read that it will play side by side but i have never tried i dont watch 3d

Same thing, different terminology... unless you're speaking specifically about DVDFab's Blu-ray Ripper as opposed to Blu-ray Copy.

I had that very question -what is the difference between dvd fab's blu-ray copy and rip?

what do you mean by side by side?

[murffee1]

what do you mean by side by side?

Side-by-side(SBS) is a 3D format that splits the screen with almost identical frames. The 3D TV will then take the 2 frames and overlay them as one on the TV resulting in the 3D image. Major movie releases use a different format other than SBS for Blu-ray discs. Either format looks great on a 3D TV an I cannot tell the difference. I have an Argosy media player and it will play SBS(side-by-side) but I have not been successful playing 3D by just copying a disc and putting it on the media player. I read somewhere that the player needs at least a Realtek 1186 processor for this purpose but I am not sure. The Argosy has a Realtek 1185 and I believe the Pivos has the same processor. I have been looking at the Micca EP950 which uses the Realtek 1186 but it sells for $169.95. Maybe somebody on this forum has used the Micca.

What hard drive do you have in your Pivos AIOS?

You need Blu-ray Copy to break the movie's encryption and copy it to your hard drive and/or burn it to a blank disc.

You need Blu-ray Ripper to rip that copied Blu-ray movie that is already on your hard drive to something like MKV, MP4 or some other portable format that is compatible with a mobile device, tablet or a media player.
