What video file formats/codecs can the OSD play?

Please see the detailed table of supported video formats for playback.

Can I use the OSD to browse the web?

Turning your television into a general purpose web browser is not one of the goals of the OSD development team. Due to the lack of a mouse and keyboard, and the low resolution common to most televisions, TV's tend to make pretty bad web browsers.

Can the OSD view images?

As of firmware update on 8/2/07, there is a beta photo viewer. Stay tuned for updates!

Is there a record time limit on the OSD?

For high-quality recordings, there is a 4GB limit to the file size, and for low-quality recordings, there is a 2GB limit. Typically, this translates to approximately four hours of recording. After reaching the limit, the Neuros OSD will finalize your file and start a new file. During that 15-20 second period of time, your Neuros OSD will not record.

Can I save the content recorded with the OSD on a DVD?

Absolutely, once in the digital format, video can be edited and even changed to a different format like MPEG2 (this step requires a PC). Once in the MPEG2 format files can be burned on a DVD. Note that saving a file on a hard drive make it easier to manipulate and access the content than if it was stored on a DVD.

Can I use the Neuros OSD to convert my VHS tapes?

Absolutely, connect your VCR to the Neuros OSD with the included RCA cable (red, white and yellow), insert your VHS tape in the VCR, play the content and hit record on the Neuros OSD remote. The OSD will convert your VHS tapes into a standard digital MP4 file that will be saved on the storage device of your choice.

Do I need a PC to use the Neuros OSD?

No, the Neuros OSD is a stand-alone device. You don't need a PC to use it.
