Check this out. They basically took a DVD player with MP3/Divx/any other codec you could possibly want, and instead of a disk reader, it has an external hard drive case. So you can copy DVDs straight to the hard drive and you never need disks again!! (no more scratches and no more video converting needed)
It has composite out and S-Video out. When will they make one with VGA out or component out? Just a matter of time I guess.
You can copy the DVDs straight without converting, and still be able to use the menus and everything. Pretty cool.

It has component out and S-Video out, so if you have a VDigi or something, you could hook it up to your projector.

Looks pretty cool, although I did not see component outputs... (did you mean composite?)
Oh, whoops. I was looking at another website that wrongly stated it had component outputs. Changing original post.
It still is pretty cool though.

Wow neat product. But for around 250$ I think i will stick with my xbmc.
