Does anyone know if the CD36HD player from Savit Micro (Dueple etc) can play Original DVDs? (Presumably with an external DVD drive).

Koreans says:

특히 CSS를 인증받아 외장형 DVD-ROM을 통한 정품 DVD 재생이 가능한 유일한 멀티미디어 플레이어 입니다.

But translators come out as:

"Specially CSS it is a multimedia player who is only choice goods DVD remaking which leads notarization receiving body exterior elder brother DVD-ROM is possible."

With "remaking" in there, makes me think it can not.

I don't read Korean but the translation seems like it might be saying "This is the only multimedia player that can play (remake->reproduce?) encrypted DVDs from an external DVD-ROM drive." (connected via USB?).

From where can this player be ordered?

Only in Korea so far... not found anyone with International shipping either.

But to me, if it can't play Original Disks, it doesn't matter.. :)

Someone else translated it, and it has deCSS license and can play original disks. But is not out yet, ETA end of August. Thats me guessing.

... and apparently it is only in Korean, no English to pick in the menu/firmware. Perhaps future firmware updates.
