@ Naveed

Dude the best way is to actually convert the audio file to an ac3 format and then remux the file. This will not affect your video quality at all and will keep the original resolution, it’ll only downgrade the audio into a format you can hear, im doing the same.

It’s true this is a very good player for the money though it does have buggy issues as many have reported. Too bad western digital has not released a firmware version yet to fix these problems. once they do this will be a hard to beat player since it can do ALMOST everything you would want it to do. Seems there are two types now: with and w/o hard drive. those with HDD like the Mediagate or Popcorn hour are a good choice. those w/o hard drives like the WD TV, IOMEGA Screenplay are good too but you have to attach some sort of external usb storage anyway. So choose wisely. If you are looking for something that may be better than the WD TV, search for this: “Mediagate MG-M2TV”. this is the newest player from Mediagate which can do everything the WD TV can but actually supports more formats like RMVB (real video) for many Asian videos. so this is one item i’m really looking forward to. hoping the reviews are good on this one.

I have just bought a WD Media player; connected to the TV using HDMI cable and the sound to my home theatre with an optical cable. The DVD ripped movies work fine; however the BluRay ripped movies (5.1) doesn’t have any sound! The setting on the WD for sound is set as digital. Somebody please help.

AQ: I’d second that… Its a litle more expensive but its definitely work the money… If you have your home network you wont even need the additional hard drive.. play the files off the network.. I have the A-100 costed me KD 60 with shipping..

I didnt know bout the Arabic subtitles.. i always thought PCH was flawless
