    Default USB storage & DVD playback

    I have a query about a Pioneer DVD player that has a USB input on the front.
    You can store downloaded movies on a memory stick and play them back thru the DVD player.
    Is it possible to put movies on a portable hard drive and plug it into the DVD player via a USB cable and watch these movies.
    I dare say the portable drive will need its own power supply.
    Is a portable HDD just a bigger vsersion of a memory stick?

    I use an LG DVD player with similar function, it will not 'see' an external (powered) USB HDD.

    Your machine may be more clever - try it - I don't think it will hurt anything.

    The following is anecdotal......

    I bought another HDD Media Player this week which works well, I can insert a flash card (4 types) and transfer files from the card to the HDD. You can buy such media players (without HDD) for under $50 from China then install a 2.5" HDD costing around $100. A 320GB HDD will hold many DIVX (ETC.) and will also play JPG photos etc. These players also act as a portable HDD for all file types.
