So, do you mean individual MPEG-2 system files, or the ISOs of the authored DVDs?

Has anyone yet invented a set-top (why do we still use this term? who still makes TV sets that you can actually put big items on top of?) media player that can hook up to your TV set via the standard component, DVI, or HDMI and play media files in a variety of formats off of a USB jump/flash/pen/thumb drive? I've been wanting a gadget like that for years.
And to think we had been thinking of hosting an AWA Pro viewing party, too.

Do you have a laptop with VGA/DVI-out and a nice set of speakers? Or better yet, a laptop with HDMI out? Or how about an XBox 360 or PS3? Or could you move one of your desktop PC's into the television room for an evening along with some speakers? If any of these are an option, then you're fine. You don't need to buy anything special. But yes, there are definitely specific, cheap, media-center PC's out there that work great.Scintilla wrote:... So, we now have no way of watching the contest on our nice big television set.

Does this mean I shouldn't mail you blank DVDs this year? The rules say that's still an option, but sometimes obsolete stuff gets left in by mistake.
