I fallen for devices that have the so called "play back" functionality, only to find out it the processing power of the device was crap and video would only show up if encoded to a lower bit rate. I think I'll pass on this, convenient dock though.]]>Jul 30th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/Jul 30th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/FAT32 who cares.

This would kill the need for philips!

I tried a 250gb sata formatted to fat 32 with partition magic. = no joy.]]>Jul 30th 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/
To use the media player you have to power it on WITHOUT the USB connected, otherwise it seems USB hogs the hard drive and the media player can't access it.

Additionally the instructions say you must have them in a folder called Movies, this isn't the case, it seems to list all folders and gives you options to play the whole folder, just the one film etc.etc.

Seems to play stuff quite well at first look, threw an avi and mpg at it of dubious quality/source and it played em straight off.

Happy bunny now.]]>Aug 17th 2008 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/Jul 30th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/Jul 30th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/Jul 30th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/Jul 30th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/brandos-sata-hdd-multimedia-dock-includes-video-out-media-play/
