Here is a source for "hard media" player as a DVD option. http://www.signagedigital.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=70 MPG/Video playback: Supports VOB, MPG 1, MPG 2, and MPG 4(AVI) playback
Audio playback: Supports MP3 playback Graphic displays: Supports JPEG for digital signs I have not used this sort of player but have seen a few traveling exhibits that use this sort of technology, In process of ordering one for a project,, will give an update on how well it works,, but seems like you need hard answers now,, hope this helps to some extent. __________________ Erik W.
