DISQUS

By Dolby Digital presumably DTS but no AC3 ??? and MKV is a dead format (and rather pointless, offering nothing useful over AVI) like OGM so why not both, or neither

I don't quite follow your point. But to clarify, the WD HD Media Player of course supports AVI along with MKV and Quicktime wrappers.

Just format the thumbdrive in NTFS to overcome 2GB limit.

In my opinion not having network (ethernet or Wifi) access is a major disadvantage in a media player considering a lot of people have Network Storage Devices holding all their media or computers storing downloaded media files. It seems so "yesterday" to copy media onto a memory card or onto a USB Storage and then to plug into a WD HD.

Something like the Popcorn Hour, which has come along way since it was released back in 2007/2008 and it really does support every media format under the sun and can access video on demand, all the free video sites such as Google Video, Youtube, StumbleVideo etc.

The Popcorn Hour does look like an awesome media player but at a cost. For some people, the WD HD will meet their needs and budget. Good to have both options in the marketplace :-)

WD HD Media Player is the real deal.
