    A DVD player, which will watch external harddrive

    So i have a new External Harddrive (bought it yesterday, 1 TB) It is formatted as NTFS and when i try to reformat the only other option was exFAT(I was looking at this for other players) As i came across a few players, they read most of my movie files, I want to make sure i can get one that will read at least .avi, if i can get one that will read a .avi i can just convert all of my other movies that are most other .mkv, if anyone can give me a general idea of what i should be looking for that would be fantastic!

    Re: A DVD player, which will watch external harddrive

    There should be some that can read external drives, but I suspect very few (if any) will read NTFS or exFAT. You will need special tools to re-format it as regular FAT32, Windows stopped being able to format more than 32GB partitions in Windows 2000 (this was to encourage people to use NTFS for large drives).

    I have a Sony BluRay player that will read external media, I haven't tried it, but I've read that it works well.
