    Hi

    I am so hoping someone here has the knowledge! I am new here.

    I have a 1TB HD, NTFS with MKV movie files converted using DVDFAB under Windows XP. These are my last attempt in trying to get WD to work.

    things I have tried that did not work:
    Soft reset on WD box
    Hard reset on WD box (since the heard reset, box is defaulted to NTSC and does not give me any option to change back to PAL)
    Check firmware on WD box which is 1.03.01
    Used Mac OS X 10.6.5 reformatted HD to unjournaled as required
    Used Mac OS X 10.6.5 reformatted HD to exfat
    Converted dvd to VOB files
    Converted dvd to Mp4 files
    Converted dvd to Mpeg 1 files
    Converted dvd to Mpeg 1 files

    The HD drive read perfectly fine on both my macs and windows systems. I tried a USB stick and WD box recognised that in an instant and was able to show pics etc.

    All these have taken me to days with no positive results, I am about to discard the WD and buy an Apple TV! But thought I will seek some expert advice first before I spend any more money on this.

    Any help is most grateful! Thank you
    Christine

    If it worked, it would have been a better player. Once bitten twice shy! Can't be sure, if I should go buy another one. Maybe WD Live this time?
