Abstract

A portable video storage and playback device (100) can download, store, and playback video files. In an exemplary embodiment, the files can be played-back in a number of different formats. In one embodiment, the invention includes a disk drive (112) for storing a plurality of video files. A processor (110) is coupled to the disk drive (112) and configured to manage the files stored on the disk, which includes the ability to store, display and retrieve the video files. The invention includes a number of interfaces, for example, PAL/NTSC (116), S- Video (118) and USB (122), which allows the video to be downloaded and played-back in any of these formats or protocols. The invention and includes a video encoder/decoder (114), which in one aspect is for MPEG. Advantages of the invention include the ability to store a number of video files in a compact portable device that can be transported and viewed at convenient locations.
