Tvisto Portable USB 2.0+Firewire Multi-media Divx player?

[JoeM]

Anybody use it? I'm thinking of buying 4 with LCD screens to run looping PowerPoint videos at tradeshows. Any other suggestions for a cheaper/ better solution?

Friend of mine uses them do do the same thing as a video player in his club.

He keeps buying more.

He loads them with his Mac.

Great, thanks! I need to figure out the looping part now. Maybe I can do it as a .ISO DVD formatted file.

I have one siting in the box right in front of me.

Getting ready to install the Hard drive now.

They also make units that accept laptop drives. You may want to look at those due to smaller size.

Can the video be looped with it? That's the only part that has me a bit stumped if I convert the PowerPoints to video. I'm thinking if I convert these PPT shows to DIVX or MPEG on the PC side, I could bring it into iDVD but I don't remember if I can set it there to loop.

I could also save them out as JPGs and create a slideshow in iPhoto, then bring them into iDVD. It would be more work and I would loose the PPT animations but it's another option.
