PIRACY ENABLING DEVICE, GO NOW!

[chronovore]

I just bought a ¥5600 dealy from the local electronics district. It plays MP3, JPEG, MPEG4, WMV, and a mess of other formats off of USB keychain drives or SD flash media (which it navigates by directory, through a browser), and appears to ignore region coding on DVDs. I am as pleased as punch.

So far it doesn't like the .MP4 files that can be downloaded from Google Video, so I am not sure what's up with that. It's hard to dislike a machine that lets me play all the DVDs I own, and not just the ones from a given region. Golly, gosh, darn it, I fucking hate region coding.

Correction: It, and most units like it, appear to support WMA, not WMV. Audio, not video. Crapx0r!

Getting around region coding isn't that hard. One easy way to do it is just make a copy and remove the coding. But there are other ways as well, such as region-free players, and software hacks that get around the coding.

Does this mean it can handle .m4a files and such, but doesn't handle .mp4 or .mp4v files? Yo, disambigue me.

What is the model/make of this dream device?
