Hi,
I am looking for a DVD player that will play all downloadable formats that may have an Hard disk built-in or a USB2 / esata port that can play of a USB hard disk

Just gotten tired of burning DVD's each week........

If its something that can record TV programs too...that would be great.

within 20k
Thanks
 
There is no player that fits your wish list. Closest you can get is a DivX capable DVD Player with USB port.

You are better off building a HTPC, my friend...

He is looking for a player which can play all the formats that are available on net. I don't think there's any DVD player available yet which can do that, except the few that i have mentioned...................

Anyway a new Passion Company DVD player with USB support is available for 1.4k on futurebazaar site........ [Yes it plays all the divx & xvid files only]...

No RMVB, *.TS, High Bitrate AVI files, *.MKV, *.MOV etc..............

it costs around 1.6-1.8 iirc, ask them bout multimedia casing, it has 6-12 months warranty..

Also check out the link below they have many diff casing, one of which caught my interest was with recording feature just see it. they ship to india for free and many ppl around TE have bought from them i guess.....

DealExtreme: HDD & PMP Enclosures
But let me remind u that, none of them are capable to play high bitrate avi files, and it will just play off normal avi files thats around 700-1400 mb per movie of 1-2 hours running time. Thats it nothing more, so i u have a vast collection like me in high bitrates and different formats. Not a good buy. The better one than the above one will be........

FutureBazaar - PASSION M-38 WITH DIVX AND USB 2.0

Its similar to the above u get a dvd player plus u can even use your pen drives etc, but this wont detect partitions and only fat32 works i guess.
Owner of the above can help u better..........
