Hard Drive vide players

[YoshiSato]

I am looking for a simple and portable Hard Drive media player to can play DvD .ISO files with menus.

I've seen this artilce at tomshardware

While these are kind of what I'm looking for does anyone know if these things support .ISOs? Or does anyone know of a simular device that would support a .ISO and DvD Menus.

While I'm in the process of "coverting" my older PC into a Media Center/File Server it's not working like I'd want and it would be nice to have some portability and the ease of use in a 31" TV. It's not practical to take a mid-tower to a friends house to watch a movie.

Currently I have quite of few ISOs and I don't really want to convert them into VOB or DIVX(I want the videos and the movies to play like it was a DvD in a DvD Player) because ISOs work find on my PC using Daemon Tools

Any Suggestions?

If you extract the ISO to VOB/IFO, it'll work just like a DVD with the menus and anything else that was part of the ISO. PowerDVD can load the files from the HD.

Umm I have the orginal DvDs but I don't like shuffeling though DvD to find what I'm looking for so ,I ISO them to the hard drive of my file server, I can then access them via my desktop or on my laptop via wifi if I wanted to the thing is I can't watch them on my big screen TV(no DvD player on for the TV) + I will eventually be adding the parts to turn the File Server into a PVR, but back to the issue at hand

Yes but I need a portaible device that can do this. I'm not carrying my file server(a Mid-tower) around with me. An XBox might be do-able but I'm not spending 100+ bucks and then going to hack the thing.
