Settop box to play avchd and DVD-Video from External USB drive
I'm looking for a device with a usb port that will:
Plug in a USB hard drive and 1. [requirement] Play AVCHD (from a Canon camcorder). Selecting the individual .mts file to play is acceptable. 2. [requirement] If a directory contains the VIDEO_TS directory, play this as a normal dvd showing the dvd menu. Normal .VOB mpeg-2 files. 3. [optional] As a big bonus, if the directory contains the Blu-ray file structure, play as a blu-ray disc beginning with the menu. I've found devices that play individual .mts files fine and will play an individual .VOB file, but have not found a device that will play the DVD-Video menu. (have tested the PS3, read about Western Digital HD TV Media Player) Any known devices that will do this? Regards, James |

Send Oppo Digital an email, my guess is that the BDP-83 will do 1 and 2. If you receive yes as an answer, Oppo has a great return policy if the answer should have been no.

I couldn't tell if this upcoming player from Patriot Memory will. I didn't see AVCHD on the list but AVCHD is MPEG-4 so it might.

The Patriot box looks promising. It does mention AVC as supported. What I couldn't find is whether it would play the DVD menu. I've emailed Patriot and will post the result.
Video - [MPEG-1] MPG/MPEG/DAT, [MPEG-2] MPG/MPEG/VOB/ISO/TS/TP/M2TS, [MPEG-4] MP4/AVI/MOV, WMV9, FLA, [H.264/AVC] MKV/TS/AVI/MOV/M2TS, [DviX 3/4/5/6, Xvid] AVI/MKV, [Real Video 8/9/10] RM/RMVB |

Reply from Patriot
Reply from Patriot is not very good english, so it's not a clear cut answer, but here it is (on the PCMPB025 device):
Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes you can play VIDEO_TS, you can rip the entire DVD (ISO) file and I will play within the Box Office. Now you .mts avchd file might play on the Box Office as it does support avchd but a lot of camcorders takes raw files so you might need to convert the file as it might not read it. |
