My gym has new treadmills which have USB inputs where can plug your dvd player in and watch your program on the screen in front of you while walking or running. I have movies on my N810, can our device work with this treadmill/USB combination?

Never saw that setup before. If it's USB (not VGA) then it sounds like it's just reading a media file off the device, probably with the device in USB storage mode. So it may be workable.

Your DVD player has a USB port? What kind of DVD player is that? A external DVD player type thing for the PC or something? That seems really cool. Think about it, if a simple treadmill can read a DVD through USB (if im understanding correctly), then can't the Nokias do the same thing? As far as I know, you cant watch a (movie, not data) DVD by simply reading files. You need special DVD software, like VLC or something.

Edit: Do you mean an Ipod Dock compatible treadmill? I have seen things like that, but it only works for ipod video.
