[C-200] Firmware 02-04-110422-21-POP-408 (02-04-101104-21-POP-408 Apps) (9.05.2011)

Before we get swamped with queries, the Beta Testers have obviously used this firmware and here's what we found;

Code:

- Fixed ability to extract Dolby Digital (AC3) core from TrueHD stream,
     can bitstream and downmix now.

YES this is true but please be informed that you will only be able to extract AC3 core from BDMV/BD ISO and M2TS files.

You will NOT be able to playback AC3 core from a TrueHD stream in TS files.
You will NOT be able to playback AC3 core from a TrueHD stream in MKV files.

The reason it doesn't work for MKV is because it discards AC3 cores in TrueHD tracks. If you don't believe me, please read it from the author of mkvtoolnix himself;

Also important is the implementation of Deep Color in Setup > Audio/Video

Code:

Added manual setting of YCbCr colorspace (BT.601 and BT.709). Auto colorspace is under development.

Select BT.709 for playback of HD content and BT.601 for SD content.

Expect problems if you don't follow it until Automatic detection is implemented in future firmware.
