Just as for playing music, our computer systems outperform all traditional car entertainment devices when it comes to watching movies. Users can watch videos from DVDs, but also from digital video files, such as DivX files. Video files tend to require a reasonably large amount of disk storage, so the practically unlimited data storage capability of our car computers is very attractive if large amounts of video need to be stored in the car.
Being fully functional computers, our car PCs should be able to support new video formats that appear in the future just by applying a simple update.
Our computers can play videos from a huge range of media devices, such as:
- The computer's large capacity hard drive(s)
- CDs (CD-R, CD-RW)
- DVDs (DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD-RAM, including dual-layer discs)
- 52 different types of memory card
- USB flash drives
- USB external hard drives
- USB digital cameras and camcorders
- Any portable media player that Windows recognises as a drive
- The internet, e.g. YouTube, online news sites, etc
If additional displays are installed in the car then passengers will be able to watch videos on their own screens, with the driver's screen being totally unaffected and not displaying any content that might be distracting or dangerous.
