Hi,

Nice tool and I used it for the first time yesterday. There is a problem that I am not sure if it is the player's or this tool's. The player is Popcorn Hour A-110 and it connects to my audio receiver via HDMI. My receiver displays the format of the incoming audio. With this mkv, the receiver ...

Hi Mike,

thanks for the reply! I appreciate it a lot. You've created a fantastic program...

just to make things 100% clear for me I've to ask another question regarding audio/DTS :)

I love the "ear-candy" ever since I've got myself a 7.1 Harman Kardon audio system. I play my mkv files on my popcorn ...

Hi,

while reading through some of the posts/specs/... I became very interested.
But before I want to spend some money on an external (usb/firewire) blu-ray player (I have an iMac) I want to verify some things first:

* any blu-ray player that is capable of some writing (cd-r/...) can be used in OSX ...
