1) what kind of file format? .MOD? mpeg? MTS? 2) Does it comes with a remote control? 3) is it HDD and/or SD? or both?

1) I have not used this unit in some time, so please excuse my inability to answer this question, but perhaps these can help? -- http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/01/34/LYT1979-001C-M.pdf OR http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028494; 2) no remote ; 3) HDD only, no SD. Also, to others, "HDD" is not "high definition," it means "hard disk drive." Videocams become obsolete so quickly these days. This model still does a good job, but sometimes it's just quicker, easier, and more convenient for us to take my iPad or my daughter's iPad Mini to record video.

The software is not very good, how the files are displayed on the TV is not very good either. The software locks up if you have too many shared folders or too many files. Fast forward does not appear to work. I live with the limitations because I don't have to buy a media server just yet. Check Sagetv for a real media streamer, i hear they work well.No NAS yet, but a usb external disk should work just like a usb flash drive.Like Raybert says, it's not ready. But it is free.

I went with the Brite-View CinemaTube instead and I am very happy with it. The only problem is you can't use the bittorrent feature with an HFS+ drive. But that's a non-issue for me. Otherwise it works great. And with the new firmware due out any day now you will be able to copy files from you mac to the HD connected to the CinemaTube. I haven't yet used the streaming but it's a cool feature th Asus doesn't have. I use it to play avi and mkv files mostly. Cool device and mac compatible. Hope this helps.

I stream mkvs from a NAS all the time. It can access PC file systems too. The best part is that it will automatically retrieve movie info for those mkvs.I have no personal experience with HD audio. You can check the A-400 forum for that.

Makes a good HTPC. So far, this thing has handled every 1080P/5.1 movie I have thrown at it, and has been a good Plex server too.. Data drive is a WD NAS located in another room, through a gigabit switch, and it'll handle fetching, transcoding, and sending movies to Android minipc upstairs no problem.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want) A better question is what format will it not play.

I haven't looked at the files' extensions, but the manufacturer says it's a MPEG-2 format, which plays fine with WMC and PC-if the appropriate decoder is installed. (Source: http://www.avermedia-usa.com/avertv/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=474&tab=UserManual) I'd suspect it'll need conversion for phones and tablets, however. Here's a calculator to estimate file sizes, http://www.digitalrebellion.com/webapps/video_calc.html?format=mpeg2_37_ntsc_br&frame_rate=f30&length=1&length_type=hours. Looks like 1.6GB/hr. I'm seeing other places calculate it at 2GB/hr. All I know is that I have a number of hours of HDTV recording on a PC w/o external storage and I haven't exceeded capacity. It's a 500 GB machine, which I suspect has 200GB freed up for this. As always, your mileage(storage) may vary. UPDATE: I looked at the files' extension and it's .wtv, which is the format Windows Media Center records/playback. It appears that OTA HDTV (1080i/720p) records approximately 6GB+ per hour as a file size. Probably closer to 7GB to be on the safe side to see what storage needs would be. As for SDTV, I'd guess half that size, but I don't have any recordings to check. As other responses noted, it really depends on the signal being recorded and its video info.

They are an .mpv file and I think they are recorded in a Lynx FS. Also the recording directory is only 4GB and then the rest of the playback partition takes up the rest of the 2TB. I can't remember if I ever tried to play them on a pc.

MPG, MP4, AVI and WMV It is really plug and play. You have to use the V button on the remote then scroll over to Multimedia, click and you will see the Flash Drive. After clicking on it you have to answer the question Photos, videos or music and you can then go to the drive and move through folders if any. I have some 40 year old Super 8 video's that I converted to MPG's 25 years ago and they play although the quality is not that great but most everything else looks great. I have the 55" model.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

Thanks. Do you have a link to the software for ripping DVD's?If I want to rip a DVD, does the box indicate what file type the DVD is?

Is there a similar media player like this that has on board hard drive. Also is there a new models coming out for this product.

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

Compelled,What is a .m2Ts file? How do I load it to my PC? Do I open ImageMixer first? I am doing something wrong because after hours of working at it I finally got some video transferred to DVD but it will not play in my DVD player. When I use ImageMixer Player it plays back choppy and with horizontal lines running through the whole thing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?
