Thanks for tip, I went out and bought one yesterday. They still had a big pile of them in Hamilton. Was able to view movie via usb flashdrive. Great buy (although it was $29, not $25. I assume it was the same model, a Visione)

Thanks to richms and quickt. Tried both the 4cc changer and the mpeg modifier but couldn't get it to work. The original files played fine on a friend's Panasonic (disc and usb) so I took it back and got a refund.
