Answer 1

You better take a CLOSER LOOK at that USB input on that Sony.....

I don't think it's designed for "streaming video" files....JPGs yes, MPEG 2 Mov files no.....

Answer 2

Most movie DVDs has copy protection, if you want to copy it to your hard disc, you must decrypt the copyright protected dvd first. Otherwise, Although you copy the *.vob files to the hard disk, but most media players cann't it. My friends recommend me to use E.M. Free DVD Copy to copy DVD moives. The video quality that be copied is excellent. If your dvd moive size larger than 4.7G, you can compress DVD to suitable size.

in addtion to, new version add some funtions like convert DVD to other popular formats, such as h264, Xvid, MOV, VOB, Mpeg, Mpeg4, Mpeg TS, AVI, WMV. so you can watch dvd movies on portable player conveniently.

free use without limiting;

Answer 3

you can store all the films on a USB hard drive, then attach that to a laptop, then attach the laptop to the HDTV via vga cable?

Answer 4

I agree with a combination of two of the responses that you have received.  DVD files on your USB disk won't stream into a Sony Bravia HDTV as far as I know.  If you hate DVDs but have a computer with an S-Video, DVI, or HDMI output, you can hook your USB drive up to computer and hook up your computer to your HDTV.  I assume your USB drive is a hard drive rather than flash drive since DVDs in general are large files and if you want to watch them in HD on your HDTV, they need to be BluRay or HDDVD.  

Although you seem to have made your decision against DVDs, your best bet might be to purchase a laptop with a BluRay drive and just do go Blu-Ray DVDs played on your laptop, which is connected to your HDTV.
