Dvd ipod for tv ????

[chelsieuk]

Hi

Is there such a thing on the market where you can store all your DVD films on to a box of some kind so you dont have all those DVD all over your house. This box is then like a Ipod for films and then you can watch any of them on your Tv.

I hope you understand what I mean
Thank you inadvance

a friend of mine has a black box that is a large hard drive. he downloads films from the internet and puts them on the hard drive, that then plugs in the tv. He has music on it to. I assume if you load your dvds on to your laptop you could transfer them to a hard drive box???
( i have no idea what i am on about LOL!!)

Thank you for your quick reply but was hoping to find a box that does not include the computer

I don't know if you'll find one that doesn't need to be connected to a computer - that is how they work, by transferring media files to it, just like an ipod without a computer wouldn't be much use.

I use the Popcorn Hour, which plays a wide range of formats, including DVDs and HD films. You can also network it to play files directly from the computer.

This page lists all the hardware media players in existence (so it claims) - you could look into them further to see if any do what you require:

Have a think about a DVD Recorder with a large capacity Hard Drive which will store many movies direct from tv source without involving a computer.Ron.
