I dont think even the HDD is a problem. Since the same issue is also there when I burn these avis on a DVD. I am unable to jump to a particular time in the movie. I am able to fast forward. That is not the issue, the issue is I cannot jump to a particular time.

Oh ok, i thought its FF issue which i faced with my older USB thumb drives.
BTW Is it possible to jump to particular time frame in other formats(DVD/CD video) apart from avi in 5996?

Hi,

Coming back to HDD Connectivity with Philips 5996, is it advisable to go for an 'HDD Working with a Power Adopter' or an 'HDD not having any power adopter and drawing power from the USB Port'. While an HDD With an Adopter is cheaper, the one with out it is more convenient. If it is possible to connect either of the 2, which should be preferred? Can the DVD Player provide enough power to the HDD through the USB Port for it to function flawlessly?

I am sure those of you who are using a connected HDD can clarify on this

Thanks in advance.

Most HDDs require to be powered independently as the DVD players may not ahve that much of a draw. It makes things a bit easier on the DVDPs as such. Same reason the PCs cannot read them if they are not powered independently.

My friend has a 5996, i have tested by connecting a Maxtor portable 250 gb hdd to the usb port it works fine, It draws power from the port and as it is USB2 never faced any issues only catch is that the hdd has to be formatted in fat 32 partition.

The same hdd does not work with my lg dv388 .
