5.0 out of 5 stars
very pleased,
This review is from: LaCie LaCinema Classic 1 TB USB 2.0 Multimedia Desktop External Hard Drive 301397KUJ (Personal Computers)
I bought it in May and have used it every day since then. This is an excellent product. It does play .avi files fine. It hasn't run into power supply issues. Use your computer to connect it to the USB to move your video files into the the movie folder (or music or pictures). Use your remote control to play back on your TV, it has standard RCA (composite yellow/red/white) or HDMI playback. It is fool proof.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: LaCie LaCinema Classic 1 TB USB 2.0 Multimedia Desktop External Hard Drive 301397KUJ (Personal Computers)
This is our first experience with a multimedia hard drive. This one purchase is a shining example why we should never forego researching products before we commit our hard earned money, especially on consumer electronics. Nevertheless, we went with LaCie because we thought it was the industry's leader. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't nearly as good as we expected. In our opinion this is an inferior product and does not carry the quality one would expect. I loaded this baby up with 245 "avi" formmated movies, hooked it up to my 50" Plasma and was ready for some quality entertainment. For the first month it was heaven but then here comes "Murphy". Everything that could go wrong did.....when we tried to change to another movie the device would lock up; it freezes during playback of of movies; it gets really, really hot, and the remote does not have a FF or RWD feature. The best thing about the LaCie Classic 1TB is the packaging and I was still within the window to return products directly to Amazon.com period. Don't buy this product!!!

LaCie Media Station - very dissappointing product.,
By Dr. Rock (Frankfurt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LaCie LaCinema Classic 1 TB USB 2.0 Multimedia Desktop External Hard Drive 301397KUJ (Personal Computers)
I was so excited to get my first movie station, since I had been waiting for the 1TB to come out. The sales rep told me it was one of the best on the market. I must disagree. It is a very simple unit, and very easy to load music and pictures, but the movies are a problem. After spending many hours loading movies onto the drive, I came to find out that it seemed to default to different languages during playback, and it was confusing to get the correct VTS files loaded. Then I figured I would just rip out the foreign languages and only stream the langauge I wanted. Oddly enough, I loaded only English and it gave me Spanish playback. No idea how that could have happened, so I tried a different movie. This time it copied the correct language and I was set to watch my first movie. The movie started and I was just getting into it when it suddenly just kept freezing up on me. I patiently turned the unit off and proceeded to let it load again, and the same thing again. I checked the original movie and it was working fine.
The audio syncronization was nothing to write home about either. Most of the movies and videos were not synched. So, before deciding to give this thing back and get a different unit from a different manufacturer, I contacted the support Web site. Three weeks later, with no answer from the support staff, I turned it back over to the dealer for a full refund and purchased a unit that works perfect. In short, a lot of money for a lot of headaches. Forget this item and shop wisely.
