hello,

i am from germany.

my question is:

can i connect a usb-dvd-rom-drive to playonhd? i have many dvds.
there is no copy-protection on it.....with normal dvd-video or
with .mkv-files (h.246,720p).

thanks for help

It should be working fine... it will see it as a external disk normally. Notice, only unprotected content will be plaid though... The dvd drive will act as a generic external USB device normally

Thanks Hi-Jack,

Quick question on that subject. I have all of my hid-def mkvs stored on DVD media so would definately look to hook up a slimline USB DVD player for playback. However I am a bit concerned about the spinning noice of the drive. On the PC, I use Nero Speed to limit the reading speed to 4x, which works perfect even for very high bit-rate mkvs and no spinning noise whatsoever.
Is it possible to find if the player can limit the reading speed for external DVD drives?

Thanks a lot

Hi there dear user ,

to answer to your question the player sees the dvd player as an external usb device and at this point there's no ability to reduce the speed od the dvd-player threw the Playon ...

my suggestion to you is try to watch a movie first and see if you can hear any noise at all , on my behalf when i have qood quality movies i always turn on my amplifier and as far as i am concerned theres no noticeable noise from the Playon or any device connected to it , but theres A LOT of noise going to my neighbors from my house .... if you know what i mean
