iZak Portable Media Centre (80GB) User reviews
More Camcom reviews , RRP: AU$898.00
The good:
- Plays back progressive scan, full quality DVD video
- Entirely USB powered when connected to a PC/Mac
The bad:
- Expensive
- Menu selection a touch tricky for the consumer market
The bottomline:
If you're a high quality video junkie -- or for some perfectly legal reason have lots of DivX movies -- then the highly portable iZak should appeal. For the general consumer, however, it's hard to get excited about the iZak, which fares badly against a highly competitive field.

I got this thing on special and I am so happy with it! It's very easy to use and is very reliable. My friends love borrowing my iZak, they just plug it in their TV and can watch all my movies or listen to my music. I bring it along on holidays, just in case the weather is bad. LOVE IT!
Pros: + Vista compatible
+ reliable
+ mobility, easy to take with you
Cons: Can't think of anything!

Lousy support
Very difficult to get local support. Dissapointed. Pitty I found out about LaCie and Mvisto after I bought my iZak but service may also be poor with those two as is the same product, Don't know. It won't play some video and some audio files.

No too happy zak

ok, but where is the screen?
I bought mine about 2 months ago and I was exited at first. Good quality video and sound...But after a while the lack of real portability plays a major factor and I don't use as much anymore and for the price I whish I didn't buy it or at leas not to have paid that much money. Capacity is a major issue too.

Happy iZak owner

play looped music and video
to anon,
being a happy izak owner, i see that you need some assistance. All you need to do is press "Play all" on the remote control, and the iZak will loop through all the songs/video on the selected directory.
Personally, I put a playlist together in a folder, then transfer over and press "Shuflle" on the remote, and it starts to playback all the songs.

iZak is da bomb!
iZak is a really good product, as soon as I got it I had a professional install the iZak in my truck with a sound system and 17inch LCD screen.
The only bad thing is it doesnt play all the songs in the list, you have to select them individually.
Passengers love the movie playback feature ;)
