Viewing JPG files: If one has hundreds or thousands of 12M pictures, it would be quite a chore to decrease them all just so you could play them on the Home Link Does anyone have any ideas on getting around this?

Per LG, the BD-570 won't display .jpg files larger than 4MB, and they have no plans to address this with a firmware update. My 12 years worth of .jpg's are stored on NAS. I wanted this unit to access them via wireless and display on my 46" HDTV. I wouldn't have bought this had I known about the 4MB limit. It's a ridiculous shortcoming.

One solution is to turn off the Media Library function in Settings. If you don't need to view all your media by media type in one menu regardless of its location in folders or drives and you don't care to view your content by categories such as genre, album, artist and date... turn off Media Library and completely eliminate the lengthy indexing process. I organize my data in well named folders and thus have no trouble finding what I want... Music &gt; Artist &gt; Album &gt; songs; Movies &gt; movies; TV &gt; shows; Photos &gt; 2008 Skywalk Vacation &gt; Day 1 &gt; pics. On the other hand, I don't need my music playback device to tell me that a Joan Jett song is Rock nor do I play back any of my media by genre like only disco songs. It's a whole lot easier to drop my favorite party music into a folder and play that folder. That's the only way to avoid hearing the horrible Disco Duck stuff as well as to ensure you actually hear the tunes that don't have tags. If you want to keep the Media Library function then you are going to have to tolerate the indexing because, well, how else would the WD TV know what is on your drive? As far as the WD TV knows, you've deleted your Southern Rock and loaded up on Polka. It can't tell without indexing. One other thing I can suggest is to get a faster hard drive if yours is slow. Another suggestion is to, well, do you really need to put every bit of media you own crammed onto a couple giant 750GB drives? Maybe your drives aren't that big but you get my point. My main suggestion is to turn off the Media Library and use it only when you really, really want to use it. Oh, one last thing... don't forget that the Eject button on the remote is how they want you to turn off your drive. You should do that before unplugging it. I think that shuts down the drive without unplugging it. Don't think it solves the indexing time though.

Using the finest setting my jpg files run anywhere from 5M to 8M so that could be a problem depending in your connection speed. Also think about the connection speed of the person you are sending the file to. Also, the size of the file can be changed in the settings so they aren't so large.

In theory, yes, you could, but I found two problems: only plays files in mp4 format, so you must convert any file to this;and that's the second problem, the conversion takes a loooong time, as a day per file. My advice, avoid this unit like the plague.

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

Anyone have any issues with .avi files that are over 1gb? I can fast forward through it, but when I try to play it normally, it cuts at about the 1hr 50minute mark.Thoughts?

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

Wow, at 2terrabyte why is that even an issue?? I have no idea.. Just use a huge external hard drive and it should be almost limitless. All I know is that 2tb seems like plenty, at least for me. In four years of many photos, I didn't even fill 250gig on my laptop that was my main computer at the time. I do like this all in one, tho it isn't quite as fast as I had hoped it would be. And I prefer the Windows seven side to the childish eight side. Love the large screen. Overall..I would recommend it..the storage should be plenty especially for a home computer.

Good Morning Thomas! I was so happy to read your post on Amazon. I just purchased a 1 Gig XD Fujifilm card. I have precious Christmas video on the card and can't get it off. Now, I understand that I'm not alone. Did you ever find a way to transfer your video to your pc - or burn it to a disk? I'm leary of "erasing" the video until I'm sure that I can't retrieve it. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!Lauri

Hi!! I am wanting to know when you received your answer to your question about whether you can use these for storing and viewing pictures if it worked for you? I too, wish to use these to transfer all pics to each one and want to make sure I will be able til do that with no problems. So, my main question. Is: once I have saved my pics to this device, will my family be able to copy the pics I put on there to tbeir computers.. I a m hoping that you purchased these, and if the party who answered your question right. I really hate to spend the money if they on my burn music, you know? Thank you in advance. Steph Hi!!

Hi, I am currently using a scan disk ultra 2 GB, I currently have 71 pictures on it and the one I had before that I filled I believe had around 100 or so. This size is big enough for me as I download when full onto my computer which then clears the disk for more. but if you are going to try to use it to also include the video's which I have not done I am sure it will reduce the capacity of the disk vs. just photos. Hope this helps and wish you good luck with your camera, I love mine and hope you find it a great camera also.

I am not 100% sure but my guess is that the slideshow is stored locally. Otherwise it would make it slow and use too much bandwidth.

The viewable resolution is 680 x 480, so you could always do that. The sample album pics are 688 x 488, but I would imagine that its a 4 pixel buffer around the edge.

I put 1751 Photos in a 8GB SD card and they all play. NOTE: if you get a red x on some Photos form the net it is because they are a NON STANDARD SIZE. You Can use FastStone Photo Resizer to Batch Resize. Just pick one of the Standard Size in the APP. Advanced Options/ Standard Size Height 600/ Filter Lanczos2 (Sharper)

I'm not familiar with that format, but if your pictures are in .jpg format, there is no problem
