For comparison I connected the HD2000's HDMI output directly to the tv and it played much better (extremely smooth on fast panning shots) and was definitely 1080p60. So after much tinkering and testing on my brother's Samsung HD tv (and reading the source from SD card, USB and internal HDD), I'm pretty sure that the Realtek 1283 can NOT play 1080p60 files in h264.AVC MP4 format from the Xacti. However it does the Xacti 1080i60 format very smoothly and this looks the best with regards to fast motion (better than 1080p30 and 1080p60).<br />Do you know of another 1080p60 file format/codec I can transcode into to play off the Techgear? or do you know of a way to change 1080p60 files into 1080i60?<br />Many thanks,<br />DanDan Rhysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-85549519230773463822010-03-16T06:54:03.962+08:002010-03-16T06:54:03.962+08:00Hi simpucker,

It is good to know that more and more equipment are able to play the 60p videos of the Sanyo HD2000/FH1 so owners are less frustrated. BTW, I will be visiting Berlin in June.

It is the LG BD370 that can perform this truly extraordinary task. I left a more detailed comment at the AVS forums. In my humble opinion, the BD370 is the ultimate HD video solution. And it comes at a value price, too.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />-simpuckerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-34189777822372757392010-03-13T21:57:16.174+08:002010-03-13T21:57:16.174+08:00Hi Nathan, I have not tested any accessories with ...Hi Nathan, I have not tested any accessories with my HD2000 so I cannot give any comments here.
