BDP5500/12 play Ogg Vorbis? What about FLAC?

[Freddo]

Greetings,

I just found out about the very interesting BDP5500/12. In the leaflet it say it support Ogg Vorbis, which I think is wonderful as I have a few MKV files with vorbis audio. But when I downloaded and looked in the manual, there is no mention of Ogg Vorbis at all. So I wonder if it support Ogg Vorbis or not?

FLAC isn't mentioned anywhere, but it would be very nice if FLAC was supported too. Maybe a future firmware upgrade?

Hi Freddo,

For Ogg Vorbis, we just support it as stand alone file, and not encoded in MKV files. Hope this clarifies. Thanks.

Aww, that's unfortunate

Thanks for the answer though

Hi Freddo,

Apologies that I have neglected your FLAC query. For your BDP5500, since it's a 2012 model, it supports FLAC according to the codec table.


Kind regards,

That's nice, thanks

Is there any chance to see support for ogg vorbis (and flac) within MKV/MKA files in a future firmware? Since they are already supported within other containers?
