Is This What I need for Movies?

[Kate]

Thanks so much to Richard for taking the time (and having the patience) to finally teach me how to convert my DVDs into m4vs at a reasonable resolution.

Much Appreciated!

Now, I have a Sony BDP/S580 bluray/3d/wifi player, which I'm enjoying immensely. I can get netflix, hulu, all kinds of online content (unfortunately I'm a bit limited on my dl capability, but that's another matter).

I can load an m4v on a thumbdrive and stick it in the usb slot and it reads fine, but when I connect an external hard drive to the usb slot, it wont read. I'm assuming I need some kind of a bridge, so I'm wondering, will this work?

If not, what do I need?
