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

But, I really d= on't want to do standard def graphics. The video is being shot in 1080.=

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

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 ca= n offer your thoughts on our options.


Thanks,
