Has anyone worked directly with both D-Link or Iomega’s HD Media Players?

Yes it will work with most any brand of Hard Drive. The larger the drive, the longer it’ll take to connect (upto 1 minute for a 1TB). It’ll even work off a good flash drive or compact card!

Hello,
I have been looking into MKV convertors online, but it actually confused me more. Some of the sites state that avi format is actually better than mkv.
I think I will go with AVI format, however; I have a lot of files (some of them are avi) that do not play on the media center. I want to convert them into MKV. Can any of you suggest me a converter?
Will really appreciate it.
Thanks and take care.

Hi Carlos, Rarely, mkv files doesnt play the audio, the solution is to go to setup and change the audio from digital to stereo, it should work albiet the sound will be in stereo only. Dont forget to change it back after watching the movie, else all your future movies will play back only in stereo instead of 5.1 or whatever is encoded . cheers. George

THANKS!

Albert,
Got a few comments for you…
1. The Nbox sells for 30-38$ on ebay and many other locations.

2. You cant compare the Nbox to the WD HD TV, the Nbox does not play most of the newer formats like mkv, does not have surround sound capability, does not have a HDMI out put, does not have a digital audio out (toslink). Its ont at all suitable for playing hi def movies on a high def LARGE SIZE tv. At the most, its just ok for average quality playback on a regular non hi def tv/monitor.

Ofcourse, its much cheaper than the WD – which goes for about 100$ but its really not worth buying .

Only advantage of the Nbox over the WD? It looks better!
Cheers
Georgio

Thanks George :).
When you download torrent, do you get superior sound or at the max sterio. I also download torrent, but I do not think I get 5.1 surround sound with it :(
Really appreciate your help.
Take care.
