Tom, A quick survey of these brands yielded no results if one is looking for a universal player that will play a DVD full of MP3s; also, I believe they are not able to show DVDs full of JPEGs. It looks like the DVD-anythings must be formatted as DVD video (or DiVX). I am sure there must be a strong reason for this, since it sure would be convenient. An expensive workaround may be to buy a Mac Mini and hook it up to the TV. Or, the way of the future will probably be card readers.
