720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p ???

Very confuse of the termology.

First of all, we need to standard the naming convention.

i = Interlaced scan
p = Progressive scan.

Interlaced scan means in one 'pass' every other horizontal line on the screen is drawn, and on the next pass, the remaining are drawn. This has less picture quality than progressive scan, which draws all the lines in each pass. 720, 1080, are just the number of lines. 1080p is the top end right now.

720i does not exist.
No 1080p is being broadcast right now.
It's either 720p or 1080i.

720p = 1280 x 720 x 50** = 46 million pixels of details
1080i = 1920 x 1080 x 25* = 52 million pixels of details
1080p = 1920 x 1080 x 50** = 104 million pixels of details

*1/25 second is the time taken for interlaced piture to scan its top+bottom fields
**1/50 second is the time taken for progressive scan picture to scan both fields

O!Player With Subtitle (Upgrade the firmware)

So far I like this O!player which I have bought it few months back (end of 2009).

The lacking is that it does not support the subtitle. Difficulty to understand some of movies espically the english movies.

Step of upgrading the O!Player:
a) Download the firmware from http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sPkRGUeRrpiVYl5K&templete=2#

b) Uncompress it

c) Insert the USB Flash drive( install.img inside ) to USB port of your Media Player. The
System will recognize the firmware in the USB Flash drive automatically.

d) Press the SETUP button on the Remote controller and the setup screen will be displayed

e) Click on the System item and press OK. Then navigate to the system Upgrade and press
OK to start updating.

f) At this moment, the Power LED of O!Play will turn from BLUE to RED and following screen
will be displayed.

The whole upgrade process may take about 4~5 minutes. Don't turn off it or restart it.

I get the upgrade info from this link.

Lastly, welcome to my blog.
