I can tell you that hasn't been my experience. My Sony player, for example, will play almost anything that you have on USB media -- but that same content won't play if burned to a BD structure. That's because there are lots of required interdependence between the M2TS audio/video and the other BD components (CLPI files, MPLS files, etc.) The capability of the internal chipsets can be huge -- but that won't change the requirement to stick to the standard. For example, lots of MKV files have removed the black borders on widescreen sources. That plays fine as an MKV on an USB stick. But in the BD standard there is no code (used in the CLPI and MPLS) that describes that format.
