Wordsup, much :smilie4:
I think you used to be in the electrical appliance trade before you got sacked. I want one of those DivX players with a usb plug at the front, but apparently they only sell them in the US.
I know that you've got an outdated electricity supply over there, so is there anything I can do - or rather, anyone I can pay - to make it so one of these fantastical machines will work in the UK?

I like the lok of the Yamada but then I like them coz I know they work OK.
A fully-featured player that is a bargain at this price. The picture and sound outputs are good quality, it even features 5.1 outputs if you are lucky enough to have a surround sound system and the styling does not look out of place among much more expensive equipment. But what really marks this player out is the MPEG4 (DivX/XVid) support along with the USB interface. Not only will it play MPEG4s from CD-Rs and CD-RWs, you can also just stick them on a USB storage device (flash drive, MP3 player, or external hard drive) and it will happily play them through the USB interface. This delivers surprisingly good quality, with no glitches (so far) in playback, with no hassle factor. Sure, the menu systems are a little clunky, but still navigable, although not of the quality that you would expect if you bought a well-known brand. But at this price, with high-quality playback and this many features, its still a five-star product.

** EDITORS COMMENT: You must ensure that apart from being FAT32 formatted your hard disk drive also only has a single partition... if not then the player will not be able to read it. If you are having problems we recommend wiping the drive and rebuild it to ensure this is the case... invariably once done the drive will be found.
Even if the drive has a tiny second partition this will cause the player to not be able to read the drive at all. **
That's a bit limiting really, innit :dabs:Quote:

Yamada for me too - that one you told me to buy ages ago is still the best one of the four I have. It plays 'owt.
It is a bit, however I wouldn't think it's a major problem.Quote:

As to having it as FAT32, there's no real need to use NTFS for storing / streaming media as the speed advantages won't make any noticeable difference.
Limiting yes, but not so as be a major concern, in my opinion.
S'even got a card reader in it as well,very nice lil player fer the price.
The Gripster seal of approval, that must be the deal clincher, Shirley.
NB I thought Gripster even better than Grippy, however I may swap twixt the two. That is all.
I will answer to most things,do like the gripster,sounds cool. :)
"The Gripster" that's even better than plain "Gripster".
Should it have two "t"s but.
"The Gripster"
"The Grippster"
I prefer the first one.
"The Grippler"
Grippler the tippler :drunk:
Wondering if it can play iso images diectly...
I shouldn't think so.Quote:
