All Panasonic 2010 Blu-ray players allow 64GB SDXC CARDS and in the future 2TB SDXC

[HDTV1080P]

All Panasonic 2010 Blu-ray players allow 64GB SDXC memory cards to be used for BD-LIVE and possible 2TB cards are compatible in the future

For people that have used BD-LIVE with 1GB of memory they will discover that most the time 1GB of internal memory is not enough memory when downloading several HD trailers for a single Blu-ray title. The 1GB of internal memory on the OPPO and other brands of players almost always fills up before the download is complete.

For those interested in BD-LIVE a high-end fast PC with a BD-ROM drive and fast Internet connection with 50MB per second or 35MB per second download over a Verizon FIOS connection is the best way to enjoy BD-LIVE since the computer speed is much faster compared to any standalone Blu-ray player. When it comes to standalone Blu-ray players most Blu-ray players max out at 32GB size for the largest size external memory that can be used for storage. The OPPO BDP-83 only supports FAT16 and FAT32 file formats and lacks support for exFAT. FAT32 maximum storage capacity on most operating systems is 32GB per drive (4GB is the maximum size of each individual file under FAT32) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463

Panasonics amazing new 2010 Blu-ray players support the ExFAT file system and the SDXC memory cards (also up to 2GB SD cards and up to 32GB SDHC cards are supported) . The Panasonic DMP-BD45, DMP-BD65, DMP-BD655, DMP-BDT300, and DMP-BDT350 all support ExFAT file system. So a 64GB SDXC memory card can be purchased for use with BD-LIVE. 64GB SDXC cards currently cost around $220 at Amazon but in the future the prices for 64GB SDXC cards should cost less money since memory prices generally fall over time. Also in theory since Panasonic Blu-ray players support SDXC cards then when the new 2TB SDXC cards come out the Panasonic Blu-ray players should be able to use those cards also. 128GB of USB memory is supported for video playback on the Panasonic Blu-ray players but a SD, SDHC, or SDXC card needs to be used for BD-LIVE on the Panasonic players.

SDXC and the ExFAT file system is compatible with Windows 7, Vista with service pack 1 or later, and Windows XP with service pack 2 or later is compatible. Third party DOS and Linux support is also being worked on.

1. SDXC cards are between 48GB-2TB in size and use the ExFAT file system. 64GB is the largest size currently available, 2TB sizes are planned for the future.

2. SDHC cards are between 4GB-32GB in size and use the FAT32 file system.

3. SD cards have a maximum capacity of 2GB and use the FAT (FAT12 or FAT16) file system.
