$70 bluray player and disc is probably the most idiot proof since it's the =
same as DVD. USB sticks in TVs work but far trickier to get them to work an=
d things like fast forward, rewind etc. don't work nearly as well.

Sharp is using my IMAX film's trailer for demo material in their stores and=
 they are using blu-rays for that.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be =
a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, =
the meaning, all that comes later.

I'm getting ready to prep graphics for a video that's going to play in big-=
box retail stores, and client has asked for recommendations for playout har=
dware.

I'm behind on that kind of thing, but I'm thinking that a DVD player and a =
DVD set to loop is the cheapest option. =20

But, I really don't want to do standard def graphics.  The video is being s=
hot in 1080.

Is there a standalone HD player that doesn't require a computer that's idio=
t-proof like a DVD player that I can suggest to my clients? =20

Something that I can load an H264 or other format onto, and they just hook =
it up to a TV and press play?

Some HDTVs have a USB port, and my research shows that some will allow you =
to play video from them.  That might be ideal.  But, maybe some of you can =
offer your thoughts on our options.


Thanks,
Jim C.
