WD plays almost all formats and connects to wifi and will play movies stored on
your computer. KDLinks which is Chinese, plays even more formats, but interface
and support are not as good as WD. (I have both). WD will also recognize
specially formatted XML files stored in same location as movie to show metadata
(actors, plot, director, etc...) and there is a great freeware tool called WDTV
Live Hub Autogenerator, which will look up data from IMDB and create the XML
files for you. For watching on your computer, the best is VLC, which will also
play almost anything. I also frequently use a program called Subtitle Edit,
which lets you edit subtitle files if they are not in sync (or translate via
google if you can't find the language you want). There are many places to find
subtitles online (google is good first step, but there is a lot of malware
posing as subtitles so be careful. I usually use http://www.sub-titles.net/ as
first step. Their subtitles are all clean and they have good search facilities.
