WDTV capability

Hi,

I wanted to know about the mediaplayer WDTV's capability, as to the SW and PQ.

I am thinking of storing a few classics on an external hard disc, thereby connecting to LCD via the WDTV media player. A few queries:

Will I be able to play blue ray content if stored on the Hard disc.

Would I be able to hook the system to my A/V system which comprises of a standard 5.1 set up (Amp is Denon 1604, Tower speakers with a sub). I assume that the DVD player is bypassed in the above scenario.

How would you rate sound quality and picture quality through WDTV media player as compared to a conventional DVD with 5.1/DTS encoding. Does a lot more is desired from the media player set-up. Or are they on par.

Pl let me know

I am not too sure that you will get a really good quality what you get on DVD's. On your DVD drives you have to chance to customize video files as per your need. What format you want and what is the support offered. On WDTV media player you get standard support for some audio and video quality. It plays MPEG 4, Xvid files but there is no direction option to stream a video in a related format.
