Blu-ray Hardware Database? - Blu-ray Forum

phloyd · 01-14-2008, 10:54 PM

Hi folks,

I am thinking about putting together a hardware database for BD players, drives and PCs.

Do you think that would be useful?

If so, what fields would you like to be able to sort and filter on?

I was thinking:

Manufacturer, Retail Price, Profile, Analogs, Network, HDDVDDual, 24p, ACVHD, BDR/RE, TrueHD, DTSHD, DTSMA, HDMI 1.3

Anything else?

What is wrong with the one the Bad has already done. That can be linked off of here.

My goal is to present the data in a sortable and filterable fashion.

Granted the data is the same. But imagine being able to filter for 24p and HDMI1.3 for example - and not see players that don't match your needs.

That is the idea... see my stats site for movies in my sig if I have not explained it clearly...

NP I can see where you are headed then.
But if you are going to do codecs you need to list them as bitstream and decode to PCM.
I would also much like Bad has include the video decoder. Reason is that way you can also see what they unit is capable of doing. Since we know the Samsung 1400 has the 8634 we know if they included the hardware it could be upgraded to 1.1 and/or 2.0. As well as decode all the codecs. But I think we all know Samsung will not do that.

Don't know if you've seen this or not.

Yes, very useful information for sure.

I am going for something a bit different.

You can see the 'beta' running here: http://www.blu-rayhardware.info/

I have a lot more filters to create but you get the idea... obviously it borrows look and feel from the BD stats site... but one thing at a time

Ok, the page structure is essentially done with the filters and such.

Now I just need to fill out the database as best I can and get feedback for corrections etc.

I am not sure how best to manage the corrections and/or comments. I guess I could create a forum or blog on the site allowing comments to be added for any given player.

Any thoughts on that..?
