這個GigaBite的速度如果是真的(指實際使用), 雖然只有30Mbytes/s上下, 但我覺得已經很驚豔了!

只是除了CPU跟支援BD 3D之外, 在實際播放及操作功能上有沒有比前一代有更好或不同的功能? 像目前常遇到的2D+3D沒聲音問題, 是否在新一代機種上有解?

陳泰宇

爆米花終於開始發表有可以支援3D的機器，讓人期待它的表現！按型號演進...C-400何時會現身？

Hi Yeh兄，

Gigabit的實際速度待Popcorn Hour A-400實機到小弟手上的時候小弟會用小弟的網路環境再測一次。

2D+3D檔案在以2D或3D播放時的相容性小弟也會一併測試了。

相關Popcorn Hour A-400的資料會再盡快花時間補上。感謝您提醒與關心。

好东西啊，期待评测早日出来！

你好，目前比较关心的两点是：
1、A400是不是不支持完整蓝光导航了，这样的话肉酱原盘是不是就没法放啦？
2、通过网络可以流畅播放3D蓝光原盘吗？
谢谢~

期待3D表現, 另外BDMV與ISO可否外掛字幕也是重點

依據前代的經驗，SRT字幕應可外掛在BDISO與BDMV，但是在播放3D影片時外掛SRT可否正確3D顯示就要實機實測了。

kao.c.y

爆米花還是出了3D機種.期待有好的表現.
但C系列的3D機種真的不出了嗎?千萬不要啊~~~~
