should delete the Time-column, thus freeing up 11 more characters.
The interface is build in two parts where a “preview” windows
consumes quite some space, yet only seems to work with files
actually recorded by the unit. Other content seems not to provide
the preview. That kind of makes the preview “surreal” as it merely
shows the first frame and not actually plays the video in the preview
window. This is utterly useless to disadvantage the possibility of
having longer file names on screen.
Info provided during browsing the content is the length of the
feature selected. Other info is provided during playback but does not
contain codec information at all.
When you press EDIT on a
file, you can choose some
repeat modes, rename files or
delete / copy the file. This
could be a solution to rename
recordings but it all sounds
too much of a fuss and would be far more convenient offered at the
scheduling window.
Searching inside movies is powered by a GoTo function which is
activated with the “Timer” button on the remote. Also here, a better
pop up window with some bigger input fields would be better.
Supported subtitles include srt, sub and smi for the usual files in the
XViD and DiVX range. These are shown are shown in white with a
grey background bar behind them so no outlined subtitles which is
step back in the wrong direction when no one uses it anymore
based on customer feedback! No options like choosing font size,
colors, move up/down or sync are provided.
There is an automatic resume play function, but only on the last
played file however this only works on DiVX files and recorded files.
DVD titles cannot be resumed and is limited to the “last file played”
only.
DVD images (VIDEO_TS and ISO containers) are supported. This
allows backups from original DVD‟s to be played as if the DVD was
playing and is especially useful by having kids operate the device
without screwing up the disks. There is still room for improvement
because only 85% of the images we tested actually played and
these have been created using exactly the same tools. Probably
some incompatibility with certain IFO menus…
Thanks to the 4GB limit, you might want to be careful ripping DVD‟s
so they not exceed the 4GB limit as the usual ISO file properly
created is 4.3GB or more. This is not a problem for Video_TS which
has files of maximum 1GB in size.
