Which digital media player plays full ripped DVD's ?
Money not being an objective .... I am building a library of ripped DVDs - it's saved to the RN device in the standard DVD file structure, which is: NAMEOFMOVIE \NAMEOFMOVIE\ts_audio <<<-thi...
The Asus O!Play media player will work fine with the native DVD format (VOB) files. However, this product still requires some firmware mods to be "smooth".
Right now it will see your network shares just fine and will bring up the DVD and the DVD menu just fine but it doesn't have any way to get back to the menu once you have started playing. Once you start, you either have to watch or fast forward your way thru it - no option to just jump back to the DVD menu.
The other annoyance with this player is that there is no way to create shortcuts to particular folders on a network share. The best you can currently do is to create a shortcut to a "server" and then you have to browse the shares on that server and the folders in that share. They keep promising to fix this but in the last 3 firmware updates, they still haven't managed.
Other than that, it is a simple low powered device, it plays almost everything and the picture quality is very good.
Note: the Popcorn Hour and Tivx players will both also play the ripped DVD's as well but these are a lot more money.
