Default players downloaded movies from USB sticks

All,

I am contemplating about buying a DVD player and I want the player to
play downloaded films.
Could someone tell me whether this works fine with a USB stick? Quite
some DVD players offer the possibility to play from a USB stick, but I
am not sure whether it can play every format, in particular the
downloaded torrents.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,


JB

Not sure what one you are talking about, as you did not mention it, but the

Philips DVP5960 - Multi-region capable DVD Player

Is a great little player, and only £39.99 delivered from amazon.co.uk

It plays everything I can throw at it, from DISC, USB Stick and external
HDD.

Also upscales.

Hope this helps..

Mike

They are for digital pictures and MP3 playback. I do not think they
play movie files off the stick.

Oh, and "torrents" are little files that point to the actual file. The
torrent itself does nothing. The downloaded file the torrent was for is
what you need.

The Phillips defiantly does play AVIs and DIVX movies from the USB
drive/Memory.

Just google the above player.

Really Good reviews.

....................
If You can afford it I recommend a Playstation 3 (Sony) It will play DivX
and H.264 mp4 files over the USB port. It also upscales Your DVD's and
plays Blu-Ray High Def.
It further more plays DivX films in high definition over the usb. It has
built in WiFi.
