What a terrific idea, actually. I would much, much rather buy one of those instead of a dedicated computer for my TV, which was the initial intent. As a media server, it seems like an easy way to put content on your television without monkeying around with changing resolution, taking up space, etc. And for $300!]]>Aug 29th 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/VIDEO recording mode

.mkv support would be great.

Firewire and/or external sata would be awesome.]]>Aug 29th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Aug 29th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Aug 29th 2007 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Aug 29th 2007 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Aug 29th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Aug 30th 2007 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/
Interesting to see if, since it runs linux, how much it can be hacked to have wireless and more. Too bad I don't see h264 on the list, probably not enough processing power for that level of encoded video. ]]>Aug 30th 2007 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/You don't need to hack it. It already has a wireless driver inside. It's pity that the AP now cannot utilize it.
Don't ask me how I know this. :>

They're great, and play just about everything. I'm surprised more people don't know these things already exist and are on the market already.]]>Aug 30th 2007 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/Oct 23rd 2007 5:04PM
