are there any BD players on the market today that can do the following...
1080/24 output through HDMI
+
Decode TrueHD/DTS HD
I don't even care about HDMI 1.3, as long as it can decode interally it can send the high resolution uncompressed sound to my receiver via analogue cables and I'm all set. My receiver doesn't have HDMI and I'm not about to get one over this.
However, I do notice that some of the BD discs for sale are doing 5.1 PCM uncompressed soundtracks. The new James Bond movie Casino Royale is an example. Is it possible that BD is shying away from the codecs to do this PCM thing?
Any suggestions on BD player would be appreciated. I'm testing a few now, I am auditioning the Pioneer BDP-HD50-K. (I think the -K just means it's Kanadian because I think the US model has no -K).
I don't think I'll keep this disc player though, it's going back... I just hooked it all up and started reading the docs, it doesn't decode TrueHD or DTS HD. But it does True24FPS.
