Via HDMI, most of the Blu-ray players are very close for Blu-ray playback. The oppo adds what is probably the best deinterlacing for DVDs and 1080i Blu-ray discs. If you don't want to spend the $500 on the oppo and want a capable, yet inexpensive stand-alone player, the Panasonics (BD-35, BD-60) do quite well. If you want the capability to do a hell of a lot more for $300, the PS3 is an awesome device.

I had thought all BD's are 1080P.
Boy am I green on this topic....gimmy some tubes.:-)
Blu-ray movies are usually released in the 1080p24 format. Blu-ray concerts are usually released in the 1080i60 format, but there are some concerts which have been released in 1080p24.
The 1080p24 format gives the disc a film-like appearance. The 1080i60 format gives the disc a more "live" appearance.
Hi Joe,
I've read about 30fps, is that something that is currently used?
Thanks,
Mitch
Ah, yet more info I was clueless to.
Thanks.
Joe hi,
I've looked at those BDP and entry level isn't where I'd like to go.
My Samsung LCD flat panel does all the online stuff,so a non-issue.
Will the Oppo provide more video setting options(varying fps) than these players, as well as better video performance (aside the deinterlacing you mentioned)
Not opposed to spending the bucks, but want to make sure I don't sell myself short either.
I see the digital audio output formats are different:
Oppo supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD,etc. How will the lower tiered BDP, not supporting DD, DDP, same for DTS's, treat audio/digital playback from a standard DVD? I have a large collection of DVD's and will start getting into BD.
Regards,
Mitch
"How will the lower tiered BDP, not supporting DD, DDP, same for DTS's, treat audio/digital playback from a standard DVD?"
That's not correct. It is mandatory that all Blu-ray players support the lossy audio formats (DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1) for DVD and Blu-ray. The Panasonic BDP-35, while only 2-channel via analog, will decode the advanced audio codecs (DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD) to output as multi-channel PCM or even bitstream them to a capable surround receiver via HDMI.
Dolby Digital Plus is a dead format. It died with HD DVD, the format it was pretty much intended for since HD DVD had limitations on bandwidth/transfer rates.
The oppo is the player to get if you have a large collection of DVDs and want the best player-based deinterlacing of those discs. If you can get it, why compromise?

Well that solves that.
Thanks, this was the quickest research/decision due to the help of you guys.
Thanks again.

Has very nice upconverting of DVD's, beautiful Blu-Ray pic (but it's slow to load). And it has 7.1 analog outs with adustable crossover for bass management, delay and level settings for each speaker. The analog sound quality is excellent. This machine is now selling for just over $200.
Is it new? No review on cnet.
