Other than the hardware...the firmware is just as important...so buy branded stuff with good support.

True, but be adviced that the WDTV Mini losses the HDMI 1080P (max is 1080i via component) and the ability to play MKV files (if i read it right).

So, if u need RMVB, WDTV Mini but no MKV. If u need MKV (and almost anything EXCEPT RMVB), WDTV is the best choice in terms of ability to play the files, affordability and firmware support from WD.

Added on August 28, 2009, 11:36 amSpeaking of firmware support, where is the latest firmware update to the WDTV??

you don't need HDMI 1080p for the WD mini since it can't play any HD files (RMBV or MKV/AVI) . just SD rez.. so 1080i is more than sufficient..

depends on the bitrate/rez size lor.. RMVB 1.5GB 720p vs 640x480 MKV.. tongue.gif
