Re: HDV or DV for SD DVD?

The WD Media Player isn't a drive, it's just a box that has no moving parts. It's just the electronics that you plug in your USB drive or Flashdrive file and it outputs it to HDMI or composite video. HDMI cables can easily run 50' with both A/V on one cable, so no problem storing the unit in a locked space, plus, it doesn't generate any heat. The unit is small enough you could also hide it behind the monitor in tight installations.

All you have to do is edit the program in any format you work in and then compress the final edit file to one of the formats the WD MediaPlayer plays. The file types are in the down-loadable manual. I had to do some testing to get the exact settings for audio & video that look and sound best. I tested quite a few codecs and H.264 seems to look the best to me. WMV9 HD is also not bad. Any of these will look superior to DVD playback in SD on a 42"! Plus, you don't have to deal with the DVD issues like heat, moving parts, dirt, skipping etc.

Good luck!
