ihad2buyit said:For the FW members who have this already, is there any news on whether it can play VOB files over USB. And for the sake of argument, we each have our own preferences on how we would like to store our files. I like to store them on VOB format rather than having the disk.

Lets keep this topic on track with the DVD player itself.

If you want to stay on topic then take ur question to the proper site, which was already given to you at dvdrhelp.com and read the comments on the player and quit asking inane questions that have no relevence to the item here.
And for the love of God, quit storing VOBS!! Whats next? RM files? ughhhh

I would jump in fast on the player with RMVB capability.
I got the pioneer DV-400V couple weeks ago. It works great so far.

BTW, if its taking u 2 hrs to convert on ur "quad core"(which is a dual core personafied) then you're doing something terribly wrong or ur multitaskin like an sob, either way it takes me about 20min for a normal 90 min dvd.

2 hours to convert on a quad core!! LMAO

Rack him, Im out

I said 20mts to get a DvdShrink dump and about 2hours for multipass with filters to get a Divx6 of 1.2GB output.
Try a good 9GB dvd disk run through mutli-pass with filters and let me know how it fares on your supercomputer.

bnbhoha said:someone kindly post an item # from Costco. I don't need another dvd player; however, I have NetFlix and a lot of times my wifes' one movie is sitting there for week sometimes two. I'd like to put it on a flash drive from my computer and and let her play it whenever. I'm somewhat familiar with shrink, decrypter, dvdfab etc. It's been stated that it won't play an ISO image. It was also stated that you should decrypt to AVI file. I too am curioius to know if you put a Vidoe_TS folder on it containing VOBS, if it will play.

Also, I've never really played with the AVI format. will dvddecrypter convert to AVI? Then I simply drag and drop to flash drive and insert in player? Thanks

It would play the .vob files, which you can extract very easily out of the .ISO.
Just map the .iso with alcohol, nero image or ???
Goto VIDEO_TS and extract the files...

so far nobody has posted the ITEM# of this thing yet? This is not like FW at all.
Me think this item is so limited in production that only a few birdies have gotten it so far.
Perhaps the 5992 has technical issues that Philips has stopped releasing them after hitting a few Costco shelves?
It's very unlike Costco so sell an item that's not available online and not available at most other Costco!

Thank you.

Sadly, a search for this item# on costco.com showed nothing. Me think it's either discontiued, or late in getting to the rest of the other Costco wareshouses! This is so unlike Costco though.

Me think you should call your local Costco B&M for availability. Me also think they can tell you which closest costco has it in stock if they dont have them.

The model just came out. This and the nearly identical 5990 recently that became available. Call the store and ask for how many are in stock. No, this is not a hot deal with limited availability in which the paranoid here claim the store employees will scoop up all the available units. The employee at my local Costco said the computer indicates that there are 106 in stock.

Update: As others have posted, the 5992 will flash files off flash drives and hard drives. The manual for the 5990 and 5992 are the same. The comparison page at Philips website is not accurate. Calling Philips for technical questions regarding features is probably a waste of time because those paid to answer the phone only know what is given to them. They probably have the same inaccurrate specification comparison information. The manually even indicates the two players USB port can only be use for flash memory drives which is not true.

no need, just bring it and checkout

Any sightings in DFW metroplex Costcos?
