Portable BluRay: Sony BDP-SX910 Mini Review

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Awesome little portable BluRay player. Bought this for travel & the RV. Don't really use it for BluRay much, but I wanted a good portable DVD player.

Most importantly, it will play a variety of video files (MP4, Xvid, DivX, WMV) directly from a flash drive or (even better) a USB portable hard drive. It even plays ripped DVDs: just navigate to the folder with the VIDEO_TS file and hit play.

I don't even bother dragging along DVDs anymore. I just load up a 1Tb Toshiba USB 3.0 portable hard drive full of videos and I'm good to go.

The built in speakers have a decent amount of volume, and the battery runs a long time.

Only complaint is the PSU has a VERY short power cord on it, so I carry a 6 foot lamp cord extension with me.

How long roughly do you get on battery? Curious on how long you can play a Blu-ray movie on it. I would figure 3hrs at least, long enough to cover one movie, or is it better than that?
When all else fails, replace the user.

Don't run it off battery much. We're usually watching it in the RV or in a hotel room, but people in the Amazon reviews say they're getting 4 - 4.5 hrs. I would think that if you're playing videos off a flash drive it would probably get much better battery life.
