  WD TV HD Media Player is By Edski on July 13, 2010
Verified Purchase Review submitted for Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player ( WDBABF0000NBK-NESN ) (WDBABF0000NBK) Pros: Easy To Use, Sleek Design, Easy To Set Up, High Capacity Cons: Drive takes long to index Other Comments: Luckily I have friends who have gone through the trial and error period with this device so I didn't have to waste much time setting it up. :-) Basically, here's the advice I got for loading movies on a portable hard drive that will be connected to the WDTV: 1) Burn just the movie from a DVD to an ISO file (even though most movie formats except WMV would work as well). The device can't handle the extra content so there's no need to burn the entire DVD. It's just wasting HD space. 2) Grab/create a jpeg of the movie poster so that WDTV would display it on the Video menu onscreen. Images of the poster can usually be found at the IMDB or [...] websites. Jpegs should be about 60k in size or it'll slow the indexing process when WDTV boots up. 3) Make the names of the ISO and the JPEG files match so WDTV would recognize them and match them on the menu. 4) Be sure to place all files in the root directory so WDTV can index quickly. 5) Lastly, make the file name descriptive and include the rating as a suffix of the movie name. The file name is what gets displayed on the screen under the jpeg and if you have young eyes in your home like I do, it's nice to know the ratings so the young ones aren't seeing things they're not supposed to. Unfortunately, there aren't any parental controls that I have found (granted I haven't really looked either) so the ratings in the file name is the only pseudo control I use. So there you have it. Good luck. It works great for me... When I select the movie icon, the movie just starts... It's great. Yes, I recommend this product Was this review helpful?     |     Report this review

  So easy and does exactly what I wanted By Deep Woods Techie on June 22, 2010
Verified Purchase Review submitted for Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player ( WDBABF0000NBK-NESN ) (WDBABF0000NBK) Pros: Reliable, High Capacity, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Sleek Design Cons: Other Comments: No techie expertise needed. I used an HDMI cable (not provided) to get 1080p. Just plug it in, plug in your USB drive and watch all your movies, pictures, and listen to you music. Hard to get any easier than that.
