I am in the market for a new player. I am doing away with my DVR because we have started using OTA directly into our TV's and have subscriptions to Hulu Plus and Netflix. We do how ever have a smallish video collection that we are going to keep from the DVR that I have transferred to a 2tb external HDD. I would like to find a player that will allow me to hook the external HDD up and watch the video's on it when we feel like it. I know this is possible but I am concerned about the formats they will play. The formats that I have include ISO, m2ts, mkv, avi, and mpg. I know that avi should not be a problem but the others I am not sure about. The one I am most concerned with is the .m2ts. These full quality blu-ray rips (25-40gb). Does anyone know of a player that has the capabilities of playing these formats through USB? Thanks in advance

Pros:“Excellent value for the price - Paid $79.95 at Frys.”“Absolutely stunning 24p play back. Networked Apps are flawless (wired). Very customizable. Unbelievable DLNA capability. Ability to skip the unskippables in a DVD. Overall professional onscreen GUI. Audio Quality is surprisingly very good. Upscaling as a customizable, menu driven item. Very Apple-esque.”
