Lidl DVD player playing files from hard drive - help needed

    I bought the latest Lidl dvd/divx player the other week and tonight I got round to hooking up an external 250gb hard drive. After a couple of minutes it found the hard drive and it showed up the backed up dvd files I have on it. But it will then not play the video_ts file on the hard drive - anyone know what I could do to get it to play them?

    No solution but I also tried putting some video_ts files on an sd card and a hd without success. Only way I could get near this was to rename the extension on the main video_ts file from 'vob' to 'mpeg'. File played but with no sound! Would be handy if it was able to do this.

    You can't is the simple answer.

    The player cannot decode AC3 streams (the audio in the DVD) even if you rename the VOB file to a .MPG on anything other than a DVD.

    The only feasible way would be to downimx the audio to stereo perhaps and leave the video untouched in a .MPG container then it might play. But that requires getting your hands dirty with encoding tools.
