The bluray of "Planet Earth" is in 1080i and one cannot make out any discernable difference. The world "discernable" is important.

Just wanted to give a heads up. I can't believe I haven't checked it out till today!
I bought a grey market BDT220 for region A about a month ago and I updated the firmware last week (v. 1.52)
I just noticed that my player is region free for DVDs
Thats just what I had wanted. Its still checks BD regions though. But i tried all of my DVDs and they work! Yippeee! No need for any hack, costly all-in-ones or hardware mods!

The successor is DMP-BDT230. But there is no region free firmware for this model - as yet. So it makes no particular sense to buy it - i.e., you may as well buy models from other manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, LG, etc.

Use mkvmerge. Talk to Baiju Xavior.
Here is a tutorial to use mkvmerge to embed subtitles into mkv files.
How to add subtitles to .mkv files using mkvmerge GUI - my-guides.net
I am using the same and it works great with mkv files, but with mp4 results weren't that great.

Yes. But only if out can be made region free. Else you can buy any other brand also.
I can play FLAC files from a Hard disk connected to this player, I am driving this through Denon AVR 1713. My issue is that I need to switch on my projector to navigate to that folder and play it.
Is there any shortcut to music stored in a HDD, any work around to stop booting the PJ but just navigate to Music and then USB and the folder?

Thinking of buying used(79$) or refurbished(150$) BDT 220 from amazom.Anybody bought from Amazon Used ? Is it reliable?
As far as I know, you need a display device to see and navigate through the external HDD, so no, you cannot directly play the flac files or any file stored on the HDD.
But, there is a easier way to play the flac audio without booting up your PJ, burn a DVD with the flac files and just insert the dvd into the player to play, just like an audio cd.
I have purchased used BDT 220 from amazon, it was categorized as "used-like new". Player actually looked like new with plastic cover still intact on front panel, only the box felt little old. Till now no issues and its working great. Got it for 75$.

Or get another display device for this like an old LCD computer monitor or so.
what about shipping charges and customs?
Is it support hdd with ntfs(large files can be read)?
Does it has coax and optical outputs?
