Western Digital TV playback question
I am looking to buy a WD TV for my son so he can watch his programmes recorded on the HDR in his bedroom after I have transferred them to an external HDD.
I have found one for £46.51 delivered from Amazon, after Play.com wanted £62.00 for the same thing. Just wondered if anyone could tell me if it will playback the TS files from the HDR? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...SIN=B002KQ2JKQ According to the tech specs it does the following Video -AVI (Xvid, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MP4/MOV (MPEG4), RM or RMVB 8/9/10 Any feedback would be gratefully received. |

I more usually run the TS files through Videoredo to trim them and then save them as MPG onto a 2TB HDD attached to my WDTV.
However to test it for you, I've just copied a TS file from my Humax HDR to a small USB drive and then plugged the drive into the WDTV and it worked fine. |

It's worth noting that the WDTV Mini doesn't play TS files recorded from the HDR. I bought one in the hope it would mirror it's bigger brothers ability to play the same codecs/formats. It doesn't however and I've returned it and ordered the WDTV 1080p instead.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I'm using the original WD HD TV http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-TV-HD-MED...3905165&sr=1-5 but I put on the latest firmware http://support.wdc.com/product/downl...el1=10&lang=en - although it looks as if the later models have different firmware, but all available from that site.
Version 1.03.01 for my model plays TS files straight from the Foxsat HDR . It would be a shame if the later models don't work. |
