when you say from Usb, does that mean it will play any video directfrom a usb key/stick when its plugged into it?

subway · 24-11-2006, 11:50

as long as the drive is foramtted as fat32, then yes

neacy69 · 24-11-2006, 11:51

how would you connect your laptop to this?

subway · 24-11-2006, 12:12

maybe they mean by copying to a usb drive

the manual is here

Will backed up DVDs on a hard drive connected to this through USB - will it play them?

subway · 24-11-2006, 12:20

the one i had before would play bin/cue or iso images,
but would play vobs direclty from a video_ts folder

johnny_adidas · 24-11-2006, 12:41

According to that manual subway linked to:

Quote:

USB memory sticks (USB)
The DVD player supports USB memory sticks 1.1 and 2.0 up to a capacity of 512 MB.

thats unfortunate,
i bought one 2 years ago that supported a 250gig drive plugged in.

the Lidl blurb is fairly blatant about it supporting external HDD (though it does also say laptop which is nonsense)

might see if I can pick one up and try it out - its only 50 lids after all.

EDIT - the previous Silvercrest player sold by Lidl said the same thing (512k max) in the manual but plenty of boardsheads managed to get it working with their HDD
