Hands down, the best video solution is a TViX (www.dvico.com). It does for video what the Squeezebox does for audio.
They are still working on new and better hardware, so at this point, it reminds me a lot of the original Squeezebox with the crappy VFD (before it went bitmapped). The box aint that pretty either. Of all of the video solutions out there, the reason the TViX stands out is that it plays ripped DVDs (in single file .ISO or multi file IFO/VOBs) as if they were actual DVDs (menus and all). The TViX also makes a lame attempt at playing mp3/flac/ogg files, but it really shines with DVDs and video. They all play high def and newer models will also play h.264 files, but it chokes on high bandwidth HD files encoded as VC1 or h.264 (ie Blue Ray or HDDVD). No problems with mpeg2 (over the air high def is fine). I own 5 Squeezeboxen and 2 TViX players (a 5000 and a 4100). They complement each other well. -- hoosier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hoosier's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13116 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
