I checked mine for that reason, and to be able to answer people's
questions. I had a USB-powered light used for laptops.

The Replay will act just like it would with a VCR.

Note that to get it to work right, your (computer) firewall will need
to pass connections to the uPnP port (239.255.255.250). Some firewalls

Additional CODECs may be unnecessary. Try it first. I didn't install
any. I use VideoLAN for playing videos.
Note that some programs will show an incorrect aspect ratio on
Standard Quality recordings. They will still play fine from DVD.
