Yesterday I did some interesting discovery - oppo’s firmware do support progressive output on component connection!

Unfortunately my plasma panel do not support progressive scan on component so I can not test this feature.

Hi all,

v5 firmware has two bugs. first one is incorrect checksum and second one - brightness control.

v5.1 should fix both of them. You can download it here.

Hi all,
Here is long awaited firmware update for oppo 971.
Changes from v1:
+ Now browser has 9 lines, not 6.
+ New Audio settings menu.
+ Equalizer and Sound field settings are saved on power off.
+ Forced pan&scan feature.

Note that this mod is adopted mod for Russian bbk985 player, so second language of the firmware is Russian, not Chineese.

It can be downloaded here.

Changes from original 10-0720:

+ UOP removed
+ MPEG4 subtitles menu changed

It can be downloaded from here.

Changes:
Menu item “Set PBC State” in Preferences replaced with “Show all as DATA”.
I think that videocd is obsolete now and I have extremely low space in firmware for new menu items

If this new feature turned on player should handle all discs as data discs and show its folder structure in filebrowser. In this mode you can see all additional pictures and other files on “mixed” dvd-video discs which previously you can see only on computer.

Subtitle bug is solved.

Download it here.

Here is another beta firmware based on vF3 that may solve the subtitle problem.
I can not reproduce this problem myself, so it is just a theoretical solution.

Please post your testing results!
