DVD of USBness

[moonlettuce]

So, I have a new shiny in the shape of a DVD player with a USB port. This makes me very happy. The £30 price tag (thank you, Asda) also made me very happy ::grin::

So...what does that mean? Can you play videos off a USB stick?

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Yup. The player reads the USB stick and you just chose the file you want to watch and it loads it up and plays it.

£30:00? I think I feel a trip to Asda coming on...

Oh, go you! :)

My dad got one before I did, so I felt the shame and I got one too *g*

(does it recognise ntfs drives? Cause most of them have this problem and will only see a fat32 drive (which is the factory setting for most usb sticks and external drives)).

I don't know. Two of my externals are formatted to NTFS, but I'm not planning on plugging them in to the player. (Not sure if I could, to be honest. the4ts's one only reads drives up to 100GB, I believe, and none of my externals are that small.)

I'm not planning on re-formatting the USB stick (there's no point, since it's only a 4GB stick, so I physically couldn't have anything on there, anyway), so it's all good ::g::

I just got a new 640gb drive and I have no idea if it works! lalalala
But like you, I have an 8gb usb stick, so yeah, that works fine :) I was just you know, curious on how things work *g*

Neither are any of mine (120Gb and 300GB) :( But large USB sticks FTW!!!!11!!!!

I may have just bought a new 16 GB USB stick just for that purpose. :D

::grin:: It is shiny and lovely and a thing of wonder :D And a 16GB USB stick sounds like the right decision ;D
