I have to convert everything? Oh Man!!!! =[:
I mean oh man whats the point of having to convert everything I have for this? I purchased this because I have several WD Passport Elites to store my files, music & video. I saw this & thought wow I could just plugin my externals straight to my 32" Philips LCD, cool! Then it says I dont have anything. I read the instructions or whatever & says I have to convert everything, what a bummer. So I will have to buy more externals to keep the converted content? oh man sounds like it will take forever... more info
Very nice but not perfect:
So far, we really like this. We've loaded more than 30 hours of captured video from our digital camcorder, thousands of photos, and thousands of songs and are enjoying them all on this. The inferface is easy, it recognized the 1TB USB drive we connected with no problem, and it's small and unobtrusive near the TV.
My 2 complaints are:
It supports AVI but apparently not DVI AVI. We've used Windows Movie Maker 2 to capture 30+ hours of DVI AVI from our camcorder and unfortunately, it wouldn't play... more info
media player:
given as a gift to our son. He loves how it stores all of the video's for the 2 children.
Almost Perfect:
Just needs to add support for some 6 channel audio encodes used in HD video, ac3 etc. Would also be nice if it could transfer files from usb1 & usb2 so you could use a thumb drive to add files to a connected external drive. Plays most everything I throw at it (have had to re-encode some audio). If you have a lot of media files, the WD HD is a must.
