My DVD player at home has an USB port on the back. Most of the time I put movies on an external drive and then I plug the drive in. Even tough I am going to replace the DVD player with a computer, I was thinking if it is possible to plug the USB cable in the back of the player and the other end in my PC. That PC emulates an USB Drive.... has anyone heard of something like that? Is it even possible?

Hi,

I thought about this idea, too. But many people told me that it would be too slow to emulate an usb drive with a pc chipset.
But I still don't know if it is true...

Cheers,
Manuel
