Actually, I wouldn't expect (or even need) this box to be able to play DVD's at all. Just mpeg2 files, possibly along with other video formats. I record almost all the TV shows I watch (I use BeyondTV) on my server already. I just need a box client that can display them in a different room. Really, the MVP almost does all I need. However the design is old, the interface especially looks like it was designed in the 70's. The xbox seems like too much trouble -- ternerito ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ternerito's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13108 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38281 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
