	I have one of these and it's great. Can hook it up to a portable 2.5" drive or use a flash drive with dvd rips/MKV's etc.. HDMI port, upscales, plays everything you can throw at it and is tiny enough to carry it about. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/242215 [Edited on 30-03-2011 by _Allan_]

	May bribe the rents into buying one then, as it's quicker/easier than messing about connecting a laptop all the time.

	It doesn't hold a hard drive. You can either connect one via USB if you have an external hard drive, or share the folder on your computer, then leave your computer on and you can pick the shared folder (with all the videos/music/photos) in and stream them.

Im at different locations all the time though. Il burn some onto a disc though just incase, just like you would do with mp3 files but with films instead?

	So it depends on the dvd player then? Highly unlikely that the dvd players in the rooms offshore will have the capability :lol: and cant be arsed carrying my laptop

	You can't interface USB and SCART/AV Your hard drive is a storage devices, needs a 'player' to access the data. There are DVD players on the market that do this :)

	Wanting to connect my hard drive to my dvd player for when offshore so I can watch films, is this possible? Is there a cable I can get to go from usb to scart /av or something similar? Some dvd players may have a usb port would they? Doubt the ones offshore would
