DVD player that accepts USB input and has card reader

[Jun aka Pekto]

Get an AppleTV, or mod an old Xbox (costs about 80 bucks total). Then you can just upload whatever episode over the network and watch without burning anything.

The Xbox does not have HD, however.

OT AppleTV was featured in a promo sale at the Apple Store here. But, it was still a pricey $256. It'd fit in nice with our Mini, though which came with Front Row and a remote. If my wife let me hook up our 32" LCD tv to the Mini, I might consider AppleTV as an addition.

But, it's still expensive compared to these multi-format/usb/card reader dvd players which often cost $60 or less.


I have a cheap AVL which plays xVid files fine. But, if the files aren't all the same resolution, the switch to a movie file with a different resolution will cause the image on tv to "scroll", forcing me to turn off and then on the dvd player.
