Try Magic DVD Ripper. I recently ripped 'Cidade De Deus' along with English subtitles. Nice print and great audio. Quote:

+ve:
I am able to play lot of downloaded movies (with size up to 1.5GB) off my 8-GB pen drive. My 8-GB pen drive is of some unknown el cheapo brand and it is mighty slow even with computer. So the DVD player is taking some time (3 minutes?) to start the movie - but no problems once the movie starts. I noticed it is much faster with a 2-GB pen drive.
USB support is a must for me because even when I rent DVDs, i usually rip them and watch it leisurely as I hate watching today just so I can return it tomorrow :-)
-ve:
1. My digital camera (casio) video codecs are not supported by this DVD player. So I can see my camera videos only with TV out, and not directly using the DVD player off an SD card reader (to save camera battery). Too bad, but I can live with it.
2. User interface/remote is so-so. I could not adjust the slide show duration.
Conclusion: One of the few (if not the only) DVD players with HDMI and "good" USB support. |
Andro - which all video formats does your DVD player support?
Could you please check if you can play the following off a USB flash disk?
1 - .avi
2 - .divx
3 - .vob
4 - .wmv
5 - .flv
6 - .mkv
Also, have you tried connecting an external USB drive directly to the DVD player? Quote:

All prices are MRP, one might typically be able get at least 1k off this price. The last two come with HDMI connection and upscaling as well |
Do all models play video files (especially .avi) through a USB flash disk? |
