Compatible external USB DVD rewriter for movie playback
I searched the forum for quite some time, however I can't find the correct thread. (if there is one.....)

Here's the thing:
I want to get rid of my old and worn DVD player, and go fot a USB connected external DVD rewriter to my Popcorn Hour A-110.

Can someone tell me if this is workable??
If so, can I simply connect any bus powered 'laptop external re-writer'?

I know, I know, just movie playback............

Thanks in advance for the help.....

You have me worried about a couple of things;

1) You say "bus powered". Do you mean powered from the USB bus? I know there has been issues with this and your better off getting a self powered USB enclosure.

2) You do know that this configuration will not replace your current DVD player? You won't be able to play commercial (protected) DVDs.

Just a couple of my thoughts from reading your post.

Thanks nuke12,

I thought about bus powered, however the powerrequirenments had me in doubt for a while... with your comment....No bus power......

Furthermore: all 'original' DVD's frome the videostore will NOT work???
Thats a big disapointment...
why????

Not unless the DVD is unprotected and there is not too many commercial disks like that.

Why? Because the A series units do not have the licensing to play the disks. You would need the C-200 to do that.
