My Panasonic DMP-BD65 has the ability to play MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 directly from a SDHC card or from a DVD. I haven't tried it yet, but will soon, as I just purchased an AVCHD camcorder, the Canon HF10. I believe the newer generation PS3s, the slim models, also have this ability, with both SD cards and DVDs. I'll try both after I get my camera (but that's not until the end of March).
