I just bought the Phillips HTS6500 theater in a box. It has a usb port that supports a flash drive. Is there a way to convert a hard drive to plug into the usb that contains all of my music and movies? Has anyone tried this? Is there long loading times or choppy video? Thanks,

I have a DVD player that I bought overseas that has a USB port. It would depend greatly on how Phillips implemented the port. Typically, a flash drive is a few GB's whereas a hard drive is significantly larger. If you have an external USB hard drive, you can plug it in and see if it recognizes all (or some) of your files.
If the USB port is version 1.1 or earlier, the video could be very choppy. USB 2.0 devices should run fine.
My player is 2.0 and I have a 160 GB Western Digital and it works fine.
Good luck!

You can buy personal media hard drives that do have already a USB interface.
Check HP, maxtor, Seagate, and others.
