Bad Name, High Definition, AVeL LinkPlayer2 $250 Now that I've overdone the entire home media player area, here comes IO Data's AVeL LinkPlayer2.What does it add that the myriad other DivX/MPEG4 DVD players don't have? Well, it plays back in high definition for one, it has both network and USB connections for mass storage, and it's available now. And when I say it plays back in HD, I don't mean it scales video up to HD resolutions (it doesn't, it stays at 480p), I mean it actually plays HD formats, like WMV HD, DivX HD, and MPEG-TS, up to 1080i resolutions. It also supports all the MPEG4 formats, as well as MP3, Ogg, and things like Rhapsody and some other Internet radio formats. It has outputs for composite, S-Video, and D4 (which is essentially just component except you need a special cable, which I think is included), as well as analog and digital audio outputs. Plus it has this diagram:  The only possible downside I can see to this is that it doesn't support any of the next-generation disc formats, but I actually have some WMV HD discs right now, so I'll take the bird in hand this time.
