Thank you Acoustic, will check it out, mac user here with about 100 ripped DvDs on my desktop, and looking for a painless way to watch them on the HD Plasma in the living room, I'm on the fence between a Macmini ant the WDTV I just to move past burning and buying dl DVDs At 4€ a disc!

Is there anything the Wdtv doesn't play in your expierience?

i havnt used it yet as its a present for me from my parents for xmas

however they have one on display in pcworld in blanchardstown and you can use it and in fairness its the dogs balls

they had a small external drive connected with a few demo songs and demo vids and pics and its easy to browse them and its fast

tell me this tho

what are you using to rip dvd's ???

im using xilisoft dvd ripper but it rips the dvds to 2gb avi files

I'm using handbrake on my mac, files are huge too, and mk4 format (i think) just wanted to be sure it plays them, and a some HD avis I have...

I too am a mac user also. Have the WDTV (not the latest "Live one) and I would highly recommend it. Plays all files that I have thrown at it, including the mk4 format. Menus are a lot easier on the eye than a lot of other media players that I have viewed. Once again, Highly recommended by myself.

good luck and enjoy.

You can get these from Komplett.ie and they do a pickup service from Dublin I believe.
