You audio guys fill in the gaps as I know little about it.
* Blu-ray recorder / VHS definately has potential for me personally. But not the main thrust of this thread. <specs withheld>
Stand alone Blu-ray ideas and desires:
* Faster warm up times
* Faster load times. 15 seconds and under for even BD-J like POTC. |

* Profile 1.3 - What ever that is.

no such thing in terms of player profiles. what i think you mean is hdmi 1.3. in this case, we want profile b (i believe). this includes the ability to bitstream hi def audio as well as deep color. also, i want the ability to decode internally all audio codecs.

* Dual HDMI / Multi output. Why not hook up to two tv's?

go for it if u want, but it doesn't seem too practical to me. on the other hand, what does is having an hdmi input and an integrated hard drive and burner. basically, make my blu-ray player a dvr and give me the ability to burn whatever i want.

* USB port for flashing firmware, etc.
* RJ45 for internet connection. Mostly for firmware updates.

* Better upsampling, and upsampling through high def component cable. Not all of us have HDMI yet.
|
not going to get upsampling over component. sorry. from my understanding, it mainly has to do with copyright stuff and the like. over that kind of connection, it is too easy to steal or pass something off as being hi-def (even if it isn't)

* Smaller footprint. No more than 12" deep. Can't fit an S300 on my computer desk because 13"+ is too big for my set up.
* Even larger firmware memory for future updates.
* Skip to menu / Skip to movie options

* Improved bit rates if the below comes into use.)
* 1440p potential
* Plays BD75 or BD100
* Plays BD33's, BD66, etc

i don't see this happening because they would then have to change the spec. changing the spec = everything we have becoming obsolete. why do that? now, the ability to read bd75, 100, or 200 is very welcome.
