The Buffalo Link Theater is a traditional DVD player with the added features listed below. This is the "full sized" player and not the new "mini" that does not inlcude a DVD player.
-Upsamples DVDs to 720 or 1080i depending on your setup
-plays HD mpgs, HD wmv files and just about any format you can imagine
-plays from DVDs, CDs, external USB or network. (even streams ripped DVDs from PC)
-wired or wireless ethernet connection
-also plays music files, cd audio, dolby digital, DTS, etc.
The reason I bought this was for my HVX200. I could edit on my PC. Author a HD mpg file (or wmv) and burn it to a standard DVD data disc. When you place the DVD into the player you simply see a list of files. you click on the one you want and it plays. In glorious HD. Works like a champ.
I recently started saving my HD mpgs and wmv files to a portable hard drive and used it to play via the USB port too. I also stream these from my PC directly to the player. It is very versatile and a realistic way to view your files on your HDTV.
The reason I am selling it? I recently built a Media Center PC and found out it can stream HD video to my XBOX360 and I use that to view my HD edited footage. The XBOX 360 will not upsample DVDs however and it will not play divx and non standard Mpg2 and wmv files. Not a big deal to me....but other may need to play other formats and the Link Theater delivers.
I paid $300 for this badboy in May. I am selling for $175 plus paypal fees if you choose paypal.
email me with any questions.
Thanks.
