ok I was bought a nice lg dvd player surround system with a usb unput on it hoping to be able to plug in my external 750 gig seagate hard drive full of iso files and play them instead of having all my dvd's laying around .... is there any players out there that you know of that can do this or play the ts_video files??
I formatted my hard drive to fat 32 so it caould be recognised by dvd stand alones and xbox/playstations(although i dont have either to test it ...)

There are no "TS_VIDEO files".
Either dvd compliant vob files or iso's like you maybe meant........

yes, thats exactly what I meant ... Im surprised there is no player out there that I can just plug my usb in from external hard drive and play them ... I mean they are not copy protected movies .... I could plug my hard drive into my laptop and use the wmp to do this, but Id like something easier that I can just move my data from my computer to the tv via the external, and not have to convert it from the .iso format to something else ....
