This is just a player to sit on top of that.<br><br>So you can still be glad, like I am, that you dropped ca$h before they started subscriptions.  I gave up after trying a few times on my hp hdx 16 to get discs to play.  It sucks that you technically have to break the law just to get all blu discs to play on your personal player.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kumar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 2:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SlySoft working on user friendly Blu-ray player software]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</guid><description><![CDATA[Slysoft has really great software products. I'm looking forward to SlyPlayer. Hope to toss out the other players. I'm cautious though, since no one has ever gotten a player right.

Do you even need to get a license from Dolby or DTS to bitstream? Even a $200 player can do that.  As long as you have the hardware for it (HDMI v1.2 or above?) and a AVR capable of it.  I don't think I should pay for decoder license twice, once on the player and once on the AVR.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nossy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SlySoft working on user friendly Blu-ray player software]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</guid><description><![CDATA[The problem is that for BD licensing, you have to have a protected audio path to transfer audio at maximum fidelity - otherwise, you're limited to 16 bit 48 KHz audio. Most hardware doesn't do that, and Vista doesn't do it by itself - they did a protected *video* path, but audio wasn't included at the time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[demon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 3:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SlySoft working on user friendly Blu-ray player software]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about this free player, but price aside, it doesn't offer anything my current combination of AnyDVD HD + TotalMedia Theatre does.<br><br>AnyDVD HD already allows you to disable BDJ and skip directly to the main Blu-ray menu. It removes Prohibited User Options so you can skip warning messages. TotalMedia Theatre already allows PCM output over cheap soundcards (the integrated audio in nVidia and Intel motherboards, among others.) If Slyplayer were to offer bitstreaming for these soundcards, then that would be something new, but bistreaming doesn't offer much advantage over PCM. <br><br>Mac support is something a lot of people have been wanting. Hopefully a Mac version of AnyDVD HD is on the way, because it appears Slyplayer basically incorporates all of the AnyDVD HD features internally or will require you to purchase AnyDVD HD.<br><br>By the way, I won't consider Slysoft to be a "user-friendly" company until they make AnyDVD automatically update itself, instead of requiring users to remote desktop into all of their HTPCs and install updates twice a week. Users are requesting it, but Slysoft isn't listening:  <a href="http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=30286" rel="nofollow">http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=30286</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carlton Bale]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 12:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SlySoft working on user friendly Blu-ray player software]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/20/slysoft-working-on-user-friendly-blu-ray-player-software/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think the user intervention for updates is nice.
