    Taking apart Modular Disk Vault (kvault-10)

    I have an old 100 disk Dacal disk Vault. While I was away, a household member tried to stuff in a disk while it was flashing 000. I'm pretty sure things are well and truly jammed in there now (it now flashes 504). Does anyone have instructions on how to take it apart?

    Some downloads are available BEFORE blu-ray release

    Well, six days earlier to be exact. Ender's Game (great movie, BTW) is now available for download on the K store, yet won't be released on blu-ray for another six days. Nice to see.

    M500 no audio output

    I have an M500 and I am trying to get standard Left/Right audio out from the RCA jacks. I know I've been able to get this from other M500, but this particular M500 is hooked up via HDMI. Does anyone know if K disables the RCA audio jacks from an M500 if HDMI is being used? Or is there some...

    Advance notice of titles in store

    Does Kaleidescape ever tell us in advance of upcoming titles in their store? The reason I ask is that I had put in an Amazon pre-release order for Man of Steel which I then received on release day. A day later I get an email saying Man of Steel was ready for download from the store. If...

    Recommended disc cleaner?

    My various readers are starting to not read discs anymore. My dealer said that Kaleidescape recommended I use a blu-way disc cleaner to see if that would help. Does anyone have a disc cleaner they used that works with a Kaleidescape reader/player? I tried to use an Endust disc cleaner and the...

    Uploading Home Videos

    So any progress on the ability to upload home videos onto the system? Right now, the only way to do it is to burn a physical Blu-ray disk and import the disk. I am wondering if K will have a feature that would allow you to upload a video file.

    Why is download store limited?

    So I went to search for the movie Life of Pi in the download store and cannot find it. Are there certain studios which aren't contained in the download store? Or does it just take a while for K to get new blu-rays into the store?

    True iPad integration / streaming

    Well, just as the K download store finally gets going (kind of, no HD still), I'm reliving the horrors of the pre-Kaleidescape days. You remember those days, right? Media would be scattered all over the place and you never had it in the right place at the right time in the right format. Well...

    Update on Prima Cinema

    Hey guys, just wanted to give you guys a first impression on my Prima Cinema install last Friday. As you'll recall, Prima is the first, and only as far as I know, company to ink deals with major studios to allow theatrical release movies into the home. Not a cheap system, more expensive than...

    Christie Dealer in San Diego?

    Sorry for the off-topic, but it seems that the folks here might be able to help me. I'm looking to upgrade/replace my aging JVC QX1 projector. I have an unusual setup in that I need a 109% vertical lens shift. Most projectors do a 50% vertical lens shift (meaning you can position the...

    Downloads making headway against DVDs

    I've noticed recently that there are a few titles (TV series) I wanted to buy that are unavailable as a DVD, but available through Amazon's video download service. I know Kaleidescape has been "thinking" about offering a download service ever since it was formed as a company, but it would seem...

    FOR SALE: KPlayer 6000, just refurbished

    So I had a KPlayer 6000 that I was going to sell, when my dealer said Kaleidescape had a recall on my unit. So I sent it back and they just sent me a "new" refurbished KPlayer 6000. So, $1000 for a newly refurbished KPlayer 6000. Send me a PM. Thanks.

    Vault up on the Kaleidescape site

    Didn't see this mentioned elsewhere, sorry if it's been posted, but the tech specs of the 100 disc modular vault are up on K's site: http://www.kaleidescape.com/products/disc-vaults/modular/index.php?specs=1

    Curious if Vault will be lawsuit proof

    I'm wondering what the legal minds here think about the likelihood that the vault solution will be robust enough to not engender legal challenges against it. I'm speculating about a potential future event here since the vault hasn't even been released yet and any legal challenges would occur...

    Vault being shown at CEDIA?

    CEDIA is starting tomorrow (Thurs 23rd) and Kaleidescape originally announced they would be showing the 100 disc vault there. Anyone here going to CEDIA, are they showing the vault, and when can we buy one?

    Out of service for 5U to 3U?

    Wow, looks like doing a K server to K server import for a 5U to 3U conversion takes many days. And to make it worse, it seems that the 5U cannot be used while the import is taking place, making the system inaccessable until the transfer is done. Any reason for this?

    3D Blu-ray coming soon

    Looks like 3D Blu-ray is coming within a year or so. Yet another thing for the upcoming Blu-ray K Player to handle (both on import and output). http://marketsaw.blogspot.com/2009/11/final-spec-for-3d-blu-ray-by-end-of.html

    CONFIRMED FIXED: "Up"

    Similar the the Star Trek problem of a few weeks ago, the new movie "Up" cannot be imported. I get a "DVD cannot be imported" message on the import screen.

    Vudu

    Anyone here have a Vudu box? A friend of mine has one and it is pretty slick. The HD and HDX quality movies are better than DVD, they have a very large library of movies to either rent or buy and you can download them quickly and easily. Anyone know if K is even planning on having a download...

    Slow startup time

    When I turn on the power for a player, it take almost 25 seconds before I can interact with it. Does anyone know if Kaleidescape thinks this is a problem (I find it very annoying), and whether they are trying to reduce start up time? What's it doing during that time?
