ASUS O!Play HD Media Player – unboxed & introduced
Hello and Welcome to ASUSTek HQ. My name is Sarah and I’m going to introduce this delightful new product from ASUS called the O!Play HD Media Player.
This sparkling innovation lets you play video files and music files directly on to your TV and home amplified speakers. It can also connect via a network cable to your PC. Lets take a closer look:
We have it in the box with me; it is a very unassuming box, quite attractive with a picture of the device on the outside. It also has some basic product information which can be seen along the sides. Im going to open it now.
Inside you can see it has:
1. A Quick start guide in many different languages with a very basic outline of the devices main features as well as the remote control.
2. The power cord and other AV cords which I imagine are used to power on the device and connect to your TV or amplified speakers.
3. We also have the remote control which seems to be fully featured with lots of buttons to choose from.
4. Lastly is the device itself. It has a very small profile, with a simple matt black outer shell and a glossy front face. There is an E-Sata and USB 2.0 Combo port, with an extra USB port beside it, as well as a Reset button between them on the left hand side of the device. The front face has two LED lights, One for Power, and the other for Storage.
5. All in all, a very neat and complete looking device.
6. Lets see how easy it is to set up.
7. The first step is to connect your TV and your Amplified speakers, you may also connect your network directly if you have a router or hub to the O!Play HD Media Player.
8. Next plug in the power cable, then connect it to the O!Play HD Media Player
9. Using the remote control, turn on the device and from the Home page begin navigating through the setup options. Your manual will cover in more detail the way to setup your various connections.
The O!Play HD Media Player is a leading media player device with some very unique and interesting features. Not only can you play almost any video directly to your TV, but you can see it in amazingly high resolution if your film format supports it.
It is the only player currently that has FULL format support. This includes MPEG 1/2&4, H.264, VC-1, RM/RMVB
This means that file extensions such as mp4, mov, xvid, avi, wmv, mkv, rm, rmvb, flv, tcs, m2ts, mpg and vob are all supported.
Full 1080HD support
Smaller formats fit smaller screens, but for those of you with Big aspirations and even bigger TV screens, then the O!Play Media player can satisfy even the biggest appetite for size. Featuring full 1080 HD giving a full 1920×1080 resolution.
One touch Shuffle button
Sometimes a quiet moment with a book, some peaceful music playing in the background and the TV turned off is exactly what you need. The O!Plays one button solution is perfect. Turn off the TV, select the Shuffle button on the remote control and take out that book. The music will play on your amplified speakers, and will automatically shuffle between songs that are on the storage device.
Many connection options
The versatility of the device extends from USB flash disk support to more advanced E-SATA Hard drive support. The added dimension of LAN connectivity extends the possibilities of the Media Player dramatically. The network capability allows you to connect any of the PCs in your network where Files can be played across the network directly onto your TV.

Rip DVDs Directly From VLC Player
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
If you have trouble with mp4/divx try mpeg /mp1v
It’s illegal for you to rip a DVD that has CSS (a type of DRM). It’s even worse (in terms of punishment) if you redistribute copyright material. See your country’s / states copyright laws and all documentation regarding the media you want to copy if you want to be safe. Don’t copy stuff you don’t own or you rented.
Note that if you have vlc player set so it loops, it will infinitely rip the same dvd to the same file. You can stop it from looping by clicking one of the buttons in the playlist.
If you want to watch the dvd after it’s finished ripping on vlc player make sure you uncheck the stream / save box or it’ll overwrite the rip and start ripping again.

Howto Rip a DVD – Easy and Free with Linux
So, you have a nice shiny DVD with your favorite movie, and your dog chews it to pieces. If only you had ripped that movie to a file that you could burn to a new DVD, or play on your favorite media player. In this video tutorial I show those of you outside of the United States*** how to do this in Linux. http://www.linuxhaxor.net
First we need to install several libraries, including libdvdcss2 (for help installing this see my previous video here). Then we install a DVD ripper (I chose Thoggen because it is quick and easy). And that’s it, you can rip away to your heart’s content!
Thoggen: http://thoggen.net/
HandbrakeGTK: http://handbrake.fr/
The DVD ripping program I chose was Thoggen for its ease of use and simplicity. It automatically rips the DVD to .OGM (Ogg media) format. VLC and other media players should be able to play this without a problem, but if you need help installing codecs install ffmpeg (see my video here where I explain it) as it contains a whole codec library. Other DVD ripping programs can save to other formats, so feel free to install and use the ripper of your choice.
***In the United States it is illegal to break the encryption on encrypted DVDs. It violates the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), specifically the anti-circumvention provisions. So while copying your DVDs and keeping a copy can be considered fair use, the act of breaking the encryption using this guide is illegal in the US, so please only do this if you live in a country where you won’t be breaking any laws by doing this!

**NOTE Audio/Video Sync
Some people are saying they’re noticing problems with audio sync when using the xvid codec. You can use mpeg4 (divx), h.xxx, or the windows media codec. All of them will upload fine to youtube. CBR for audio is probably better but it seems to crash.
Learn how to save youtube’s FLV files and turn them into editable AVI, wmv files that you can edit with movie maker or your favorite video editing software. You can use this to create video responses to your favorite youtube personalities by cutting direct video quotes from their video.

“to download from youtube you can use this firefox link as well: http://video.qooqle.jp/dl/?url=%s. Just type in the keyword for it before the code in a youtube video url such as “S7s3c1OZiHs” in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7s3c1OZiHs ”
You can also convert to mp4 to add to your ipod.
