You can record DVDs on this, straight from the TV, so no encryption code to remove, all in all a great toy for photographers and other travellers!!
However at nearly 800 Euros here in The Netherlands it will have to wait

Check out the JOBO GigaVu Pro [various sizes, we got 60GB the largest available at the time - now they have come out with larger ones] A great device - a mobile hard drive and so much more. A really nice and useful toy. Check it out at: JOBO The price seems to be coming down as newer, bigger models are created.
OR Jobo One [ours is 40GB - not enough for a trip, but larger than a memory card by far - (the little Jobo does not have too many features, but is much less expensive and smaller, physically, and you can still save a lot - though I found it annoying that we couldn't view anything or delete anything in using it; it really is just a mini- very mini - mobile hard drive]
Next trip, I'm getting another [larger?] GigaVu and hope to trade-in the Jobo One.
We initially bought one of each; redundancy is what I need when downloading photos. After using them both, I see that the additional features on the GigaVu are necessary for me.
We came back with 10,000 photos 3-4MB each and about 5 videos. I ran out of room on the Jobo One, but still had about 20% free space on the GiguVu. We carried 3 1GB cards and I downloaded and reformatted each evening - not a time-consuming process, as long as you have electricity available. It does have an internal battery so even when there is no electricity, you do have a certain amount of time to download as long as you can eventually recharge.
