Amazon.com Product Description
The Samsung BD-P1000 DVD player is the first model from Samsung that plays high-definition Blu-ray Discs, which takes advantage of today's flat-screen HDTVs by playing content at native 720p or 1080i video resolutions. You'll marvel at the clarity and full-color spectrum of the vibrant video produced from Blu-ray movie discs, which provide five times the resolution of standard DVD movie discs. The BD-P1000 also offers backward compatibility for DVD movie and CD audio discs, and an upconverting function that brings your favorite DVDs to near HD quality. It includes one high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) output, which provides uncompressed, all-digital video and multi-channel audio delivered via a single cable (720p/1080p). High-definition signals up to 1080i are also available through the component video output. Note that viewing high-definition Blu-ray Disc content requires an HDTV or HD-ready TV. The user-friendly graphic interface includes a full-color, hi-def animated menu, with features such as advanced subtitle functions, video scene search and pop-ups--which provide informative tidbits and are embedded in Blu-ray Disc contents. And the unique 11-in-2 multi-format memory card slot displays 3-megapixel and larger images in full hi-def resolution. It's compatible with Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia (MMC), CompactFlash, MicroDrive, XD Picture Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Duo Pro, Memory Stick Pro, RS MMC, and Mini SD. Other technical features include - Up to 1080p (1920 x 1080p) output through HDMI digital output
- Selectable 1080p/1080i/720p video upconversion of DVDÕs through HDMI
- BD-RE, BD-ROM, DVD ROM, DVD RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW playback compatible
- MPEG2, VC-1, H.264, HD JPEG decoding
- 12-bit/192MhZ video D/A converter; 24-bit/192KHz audio D/A converter
The BD-P1000 provides a full range of audio decoding, including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby DTS, and MP3. It has stereo outputs as well as coaxial and optical digital audio outputs for 5.1-channel home theater surround sound. It offers the following video output connection options: - Composite AV (RCA): 1
- S-Video: 1
- Component Video: 1

Blu-ray Disc Format
The next-generation Blu-ray optical disc format was created by a group of the world's top consumer electronics companies, including Samsung and Sony. This format was intended to meet the demand for playing and recording high-definition content, which far surpasses the video quality DVD can handle. With remarkable high quality video and crisp audio clarity, Blu-ray also offers increased storage capacity--up to 25 GB of content on a single-sided disc and enough space for two hours of high-definition movies or recorded content. (This is over five times the 4.7 GB of data a standard single-sided DVD disc can store.) The name Blu-ray is derived from the blue-violet laser the player uses to read and write to the disc. Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV). Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. - High Definition Formats: The most common high-def (HD) video format is 720p, which displays video at 720 vertical by 1280 horizontal pixels. The "p" denotes that it is progressive scan, meaning that all video lines are filled at the same time. The 1080i format displays video at 1080 vertical by 1920 horizontal pixels, and the "i" means that it is interlaced (the old-school way of presenting video where the screen scans the odd-numbered video lines first, then the even-numbered lines). The 1080p format has the same pixel resolution as 1080i, but it is a progressive scan format and thus has a constant vertical resolution of 720 lines.

 I like it April 11, 2008

I've never had a single problem with this player. It is a little slow to load but that's not a problem for me at all.. it gives me time to settle down. It works flawlessly and samsung provides free upgrades on their website. I think it's the best player for the price.

We bought our 1000 about 10 mo. ago. However, we didn't start watching blu ray until recently. A couple of movies would not play, but Planet Earth would. We then checked these reviews and discovered such a thing as firmware. We went to Samsung's website and got ver. 1.4. Getting it into the dvd player was another adventure and I'm techno minus. Quite by accident, I discovered that you have to do extra things to get an .iso file to burn onto a CD. Thankfully I have ExpressBurn which told me how to do it. I don't know if there's freeware for burning .iso files or not. The Harry Potter Goblet flic now plays just fine and we watched another blu ray movie that did okay as well. I guess the firmware fixed some things because now it seems to function okay. I guess I'll have to keep checking Samsung's site for more firmware though. Now that the format war appears to be over, there may be more changes until things finally settle down. We are waiting as long as we can to purchase any more dvd players. Update: We watched "3:10 To Yuma" and it played just fine. We had heard that this flic would not play on some models.
 Good player -- *if* you download the firmware update! February 5, 2008

I bought this player, then followed directions to download the firmware update from Samsung's web site to my PC, burn it onto a CD, and load it into the BD-P1000. (the firmware became available approx Oct 2006, if I recall). After I did so, the software configuration in the Samsung's video processor was set correctly and the images from it improved. So don't listen to any complaints from BD-P1000 users *unless* they say that they're still unhappy after installing the firmware update.
We have a 110" screen with a 1080p front projector at home. We've watched lots of regular DVDs at home and I haven't been totally happy with the image quality. But now, with the addition of this Blu-ray player and (good) Blu-ray source discs, I'd have to say that we are FINALLY experiencing true home THEATER.
