Your TV or BluRay player will NOT handle all of these.A better choice is a small "Media Server" like the Roku 2 XD box for about $99.  These boxs DO handle almost all file formats and often have firmware updates regularly.  Just connect HDMI out one end and plug in a Flash drive or USB hard drive and watch your movies on your HDTV.</blockquote>
