Key Features

HD video files playback:
- Playback of most widely-used video file formats (including MKV/H.264, MKV/VC1). (Not really a distinctive feature, but rather a must-to-have feature; however, it is hoped that there is already a slightly better (in average) support for playback of "hard" files, such as high-bitrate MKV/VC1, in comparison with Syabas firmware.)
DVD playback:
- Playback of region-protected/encrypted DVD-video disks.
- Playback from arbitrary media:
  - DVD disks in internal/external DVD-drive.
  - DVD disks copied as a folder or as an ISO-image (stored on the internal hard disk, USB disk, network).
A better user interface:
- "FullHD" GUI quality.
  - Pixel-to-pixel graphics in 1920x1080 mode (no upscaling of low-resolution graphics).
  - Antialiased fonts (also used for rendering text subtitles during video playback).
- Better general GUI responsiveness:
  - The GUI is not based on Web-Server + Web-Browser approach, and instead renders graphics directly to the Sigma chip, so there is a much quicker response in case of most user actions.
- More usable/convenient file browser:
  - All available media-sources/folders/files are represented as a single unified tree.
  - No need to do an extra step of choosing video/audio/photo/other file type.
  - Fast and convenient navigation across folders.
  - A better support for working with folders containing a big number of files (instead of breaking the list of files into pages, a convenient scrolling through the entire list of files is supported).
  - A better support for files manipulation, including: copy/move files/folders from/to any storage (internal hard disk, DVD drive, USB, network), statistics/progress indication during copying, possibility to stop copying (a partial file copy can be kept or deleted), recover files from broken CD/DVD media, delete files/folders, create a new folder, rename files/folders, evaluate file read performance.
