I am looking for advice on how to watch all of my video content digitally - short of building a media pc. The two things that I commonly watch are xvid/avi files and files formatted for DVD. I recently purchased a Phillips 5990 that is working great with the xvid/avi files. However, it does not recognize the DVD menu files / structure. I have looked for some time now but not have come up with a good solution. Is there a DVD player with USB input that will recognize DVD menus through the USB port? Maybe someone has a suggestion besides trying to go through a DVD player to watch the DVD content without burning to DVD.
Thanks for your time.

not in my experience, when a dvd player goes to usb mode, it is not looking for a ifo file, it is in file browsing mode and hads of all of the avi/wmv,etc chores to a 3rd party decoder chip. when a dvd is inserted the first decoder chip read the first sector, loads the ifo file and displays a "menu". so short of a htpc you will not find this as the two chips are seperate entities.

Your out of luck. There’s currently no standalone out there to playback DVDs (ISO/Video ts) properly from USB.

Thanks for your replies. I am really surprised that no one makes a player that can process a VIDEO_TS folder from a USB port the same way it would process one from a DVD.
Thanks once again for taking time to reply.
