Title: Crippled player
Product review: Don't waste your money - the device could be good but who will ever know. It is crippled with PlayForSure mandatory requirements for the playback of all video.In other words if you want to watch any video you *HAVE* to convert it using the ArcSoft conversion program. For a simple movie this takes hours on a good PC with 4 Gb of memory! Who has the time or the patience to do that.I have a load of mpg files I wanted to transfer and play but could not just copy them. They had to be "converted" (in this case read crippled with some copy protection. DRM is stopping fair use and innovation. The whole point of these small devices is to allow playback anytime anyplace anywhere - I suspect this portable media center could do it but I will never know.Hours later I am still waiting for the first file to be converted.
