dvico TViX-HD PVR, plays ripped Blu-Ray

You’d think playback of copied Blu-Ray and DVD files would be a no-no for commercial PVR boxes. Not these new TViX players, which play ripped Blu-Ray and DVD “backups”, with VOB, ISO and H.264 compatibility. Of course, the new TViX range is meant to play “backups” of movie disc, which you’ve got stored in your cupboard, though we suspect not every user who gets their hands on this thing will bother with the pesky issue of ownership.

The main selling point of DViCO’s new TViX PVR range are that the baby TViX R-2230 ($399, onsale in November) plays ripped VOB and ISO files from DVD movies. And in the case of the “Swiss Army Knife” TViX-HD 6500 ($599), this also includes Blu-Ray rips, with H.264 MKV playback.

Interesting Reading..
