DVD Player via USB2?
Has anyone recommendations on a USB, i.e. external, DVD player.

Writer is not required, just something cheap that will play movies to plug into a USB2 port.

Not a personal recommendation as such, but this one looks fine:

Re: DVD Player via USB2?
tbh, a writer won't be *much* more. about 20 bucks-ish. If you envisage ever writing dvds it'd be worth shelling out the little extra.

TBH I didnt even consider Cas was possibly on about a laptop,room wise if he buys a external rom he will still need to put it somewhere,Ive got my machine set up how I discribed mainly cuz my case is full,I also use the sata backplate that came with my mobo and have 2 hdds in a rack outside the case

Re: DVD Player via USB2?
To clarify...this is a prezzie for someone so cost is minimal

I want it for his laptop. And cause its a prezzie don't want to mess about with external caddies...just an external DVD-rom drive...nothing fancy and don't want to spend £20 more on it being a writer
