HDTV with built in Blu-Ray Player

I posted earlier and the subject was incorrect. What I am looking for is a flat screen tv that I can mount on the wall that has a built in blu-ray player. I see many tvs that have built in dvd players, but I want the blu-ray.

I have not seen any units with built in Blu-ray. IMHO such combos are far inferior to seperate player/TV. Shop very carfully, the tradeoffs to get the blu-ray to fit in the TV chassis are significant, and often eliminate many options that you might want.

Creating a HDTV disk playable on Blu-Ray player - possible?

I want to distribute movies created in iMovie and exported in Quicktime HD (.MOV) format by burning them onto a Blu-Ray disk suitable for viewing the video on standard Blu-Ray disk players like my LG BD270 Blu-Ray player to view them on HDTV. I purchased and setup an ASUS Blu-Ray writer, which my iMac (Mavericks OS) recognizes. I'm using Aiseesoft's Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac to convert the .MOV file to a file format suitable for viewing on a Blu-Ray disk. I've tried two file formats: 1) HD MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4) and 2) HD H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video (*.mp4), Everything seems to function properly. However, when I try playing the Blu-Ray disks on the Blu-Ray player, i get the spinning CD symbol for a moment that turns into "DATA". There are four icons that appear. The video icon is greyed out. Most frustrating. Perhaps I'm missing a step or using the wrong format???
Any ideas?

It turns out that the Blu-Ray disks were properly written. The problem was due to the fact that the Blu-Ray player used was not capable of handling the new file formats. Playing the disks on a modern Blu-Ray player showed no problems. Thus the combination of Aiseesoft's Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac and the ASUS Blu-Ray Writer works with my iMac.

Sharing iPhoto with my LG Blue Ray player

I would like to share my iPhoto to my network connected LG Blue Ray player, but for some reason, iPhoto is grayed out and I am unable to add it to my shared folders.

iPhoto is an application - the photos are in the iPhoto library which is a relational database
Where are you trying to access your photos and what software are you using? Maybe that software does not use the Apple APIs to access the iPhoto database

Wifi sharing video files with Samsung HDD/Blu Ray player

How do I find my Samsung BD/HDD player and send video files to it? The manual says I need to download 'PC Share Manager' (yuk) surely I can just hunt for it on the network?
It's def connected, cos it's picking up stuff off the internet, but I want it to talk to the Mac!
Thanks,
Tim

No, there is no connection on the back of the C6500 to connect with the iPhone. You would also have to activate a tethering account ($25 per month) with AT&T if it was physically possible.

Will keyboards work with my lg blu ray player

i am tired of the hassle of the directional pad of the remote is there a wireless keyboard that will work with my bd220?

From what I could find it does not support keyboards.

How do I program my remote to work for my satellite and Blu Ray player?

I recently purchased the 55 in LED Toshiba tv model number 42SL417U and I am having trouble finding the instructions on how to program it to work with my Sony Blu Ray player and Satellite. I went to product support and could not find a topic on how to program the remote.

Information on how to program your remote is available on page 79 of your user's guide.
The TV also has CEC functionality to control other CEC-enabled, HDMI-connected devices. More information about this is on page 19 of the user's guide.

Share files on Time Capsule with wireless Blu Ray player?

We're looking at getting a Blu Ray player with built in wireless to take advantage of Amazon Prime streaming and Hulu Plus. Star Trek; TNG remastered on Bl Ray also promped me in this decision!
We already have an AppleTV and tried jailbreaking to get access to Hulu and Amazon, but the hack caused numerous issues, so back to stock it went.
I have also started ripping all of my DVDs and importing them into iTunes, but with a baby in the house it's REALLY an issue to always have a laptop open and running whenever we want to watch one of our movies. I've looked at a number of Blu Ray players that include DLNA capabilities, plus file sharing via SMBA and UPNP. My question is, will the Time Capsule serve up those files to the player? I tried DLNA shares directly through our Samsung HDTV before and it just did not work.
Does anyone have experience with a make/model of Blu Ray player playing nicely with a Time Capsule and/or an additional storage device attached to a Time Capsule?
I have also read that I absolutely, positively do NOT want to go wireless, but to use Ethernet instead. Our TV is clear on the other side of the house from the modem/Time Capsule so I'd have to pull at least 100 feet of cable to make that happen. I don't think there's any conduit into the attic at the front of the house either, since the cable box comes in in from the exterior wall, so it could be a real job. Any thoughts on that?

There are no media players in the TC whatsoever.. it is completely dumb box.. and is unsuitable as a media centre.. it is not even a file store, as it has no way to back itself up.. it is a backup target for Time Machine.
If you want DLNA you need to run a computer of some sort and use a player that can read the files and play them directly.. ie no streaming.
On the wireless to other side of the house, I do think you will have issues. Ethernet is still far superior solution and if you own the house consider it an investment in future usage.
But for now Ethernet Over Power adapters can offer superior performance to wireless and far better reliability. They are not without issues, so buy from store that offers no questions asked return.. and don't bother too much with super fast ones.. the 200mbit/s are already well above what is reality. You cannot use them on power boards generally so you also might need to think of ways around that.
If you do get stuck with wireless the TC is slow.. 2.4ghz is only 130mbps.. and range is not great. I would recommend a different device like ubiquiti router that offers high power and long range.

I just got the Sony BRAVIA 60" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV and I have a Yamaha RX-V1800. I want to buy and hook up a Blu-ray player to both. What the best way to do this? Should I use the optical audio to connect the Blu-ray to the receive and the HDMI to connect to the TV? I really want to be able to use HDMI for the audio but then I'm left with only component video for the TV. I can't filter the sound through the TV, this does not work. Does optical produce good audio?
Solved!

Okay so I did try to run everything through the Yamaha receiver and the refresh rate is just to slow. I put in the DVD Salt and as soon as there was a chase scene I got lot of blurring. Since I'm not going to get a new receiver any time soon is a HDMI to the TV and an optical to the receiver the best option?
You have no idea what you are doing which is why your results are not pleasing. Simply connect the equipment with HDMI cables as instructed and use only Blu-Ray discs as they are full-resolution sources. Your Blu-Ray player applies upscaling and processing to your DVD which is why it looks like crap and your receiver would do the same depending on the settings. You also need to check the settings on your player and HDTV to get them both aligned for the best picture quality.
Well I did use HDMI cables, and I also checked all of the setting on both the receiver and the TV. I did not use a Blu-Ray or player as I have not bought one yet. So are you saying the only way to not get a blur when using this set up would be to only watch Blu-Rays?? That does not make much sense. Also I would like to say I have some idea what I'm doing but obviously not as much as many people on this site, that's why I posted my question here. Thanks though for pointing out the obvious, It was very helpful of you.

I'm in the process of creating a WiFi network from my IMac to my LG HDTV. I am incorporating a LG WiFi capable Blu-ray player and will purchase an Apple Express or Apple Extreme router. I need some advise on using this aquipment.

I need help in determining the best way to create a WiFi network from my IMAC to a WiFi capable LG Blu-Ray player that will connect to my LG HDTV. Since I will only need one network I need to know which is the best Apple Airport router to use (Express or Extreme). What is the correct way to connect these units? It seem self explanitory,but I'm checking my thinking. My HDTV is about 20' from where the airport router will be installed with a wall between them. Has anyone created this network? Is this the best way to create a WiFi network?

Using a Funai Blu-ray Player w/ Built-in Wi-Fi & Smartphone Streaming

Can I use the Funai Blu-ray Player w/ Built-in Wi-Fi & Smartphone Streaming to stream baseball games from my iphone to the tv>

Only if there's an app that can get you the game and that supports that player. The native AirPlay video streaming works only with an Apple TV or with computer software such as Reflector.

Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3. It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will. I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom. Works great, even supports iTunes playlists. I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

BDX3200KB 3D Blu-ray Player not compatible with some 3D movies

I have a BDX3200 3D blu-ray player that is connect to a Toshiba 47VL863 3D TV.
I have noticed recently that a number of 3D movies do not play correctly.
The worst affected ones seem to be "The Hobbit" and "A Turtles Tale", where the 3D movement flickers badly and there is a visible "page turning" effect when switching from one scene to another.
This makes both movies un-watchable.
In an attempt to solve the issue I downloaded the latest firmware for both the TV and blu-ray player, but sadly the problem has not gone away. If, however, I play the affected movies on the same TV but using a PS3, they play perfectly, leading me to believe the BDX3200 is the source of the issue.
I have written to Toshiba support, but have had no reply!
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there a fix out there that I'm not aware of?
I'd like to know what Toshiba have to say on this issue?

Well Toshibas answer is a bit of a joke really.
They say that the technology used in this 3D Bluray is new and is causing playback problem.....yes and.......Toshibas point is?
My SONY yes PS3 which is NOT yes I repeat NOT a dedicated 3D Bluray player and is almost 8 years old not 2 years like my Toshiba 3D Bluray player can play this 3D Disc without any problems...so the technology is not that new..or can TOSHIBA just NOT be bothered to look after their customers.
People just be warned!!!
Toshibas reply is shown below plus my further reply
"Thank you for your recent enquiry.
We are very sorry to hear about the problem that you have experienced with your new DVD purchase. We understand that recent devlopments employed in 3D technology used on this particular blu-ray have led to issues with 3D playback and the most recent firmware update hasn't rectified this issue.
We have passed on your comments regarding this and future firmware updates may address this issue but at this time we are unable to tell you when this may become available.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
My reply
"Hello,
I find this completely unacceptable. I purchase this product along with my television in good faith that it would play 3d Blurays...this is obviously not the case it would appear that it can only play certain 3d blurays..perhaps you should consider placing this information in your advertising literature so as to not misinform customers.
My aging PS3 which was made in 2006 and is a games console as you well know can play this 3d Bluray..so it is not new technology that is the problem. My PS3 is not a dedicated 3D Bluray player where as the Toshiba 3D player is designed to play 3D Blurays and yes it isnjust about 2 years old. I think there is something wrong here, and I would like to take this further.

Is there any Blu-ray Player Software compatible with my iMac OS X Mountain Lion?

I want to watch a Blu-ray Movie on my iMac(OS X Mountain Lion), so I need a best Blu-ray Player Software.

You need third party software, Macgo Blu-ray Player can deal with the work you mentioned. As for the Mac Moutain Lion(10.8), I check their website and it is said that the Mac OS 10.8 are supported.
Refers to their product page: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/features.htm

Mac Blu-ray Player compatible with Mac OS 10.8?

I check the web, it seems that the tool is compatible with the Mac OS X 10.8. I also encounter with a promotion as below, is it worthy?
http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/macgo-mac-blu-ray-player/

How do you know it's ML compatible?
But you do know that it's only software, yes? You'll need hardware = a Blu-ray drive as well.
