There is more information in the owner's manual (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Unassigned-Content/Manuals/AVH-X2600BT+OWNERS+MANUAL), but in a nutshell, it will play DivX format (.avi or .divx), but NOT DivX Ultra, Plus or HD. It will play MPEG1/MPEG2 (.mpg or .mpeg), or MPEG4 (.avi), but will NOT play H.264 (MPEG4-AVC) files. Supported audio in DivX videos is MP2, MP3, AC3 (Dolby Digital), or LPCM. Audio in MPEG videos is MP2 in MPEG1/MPEG2 videos, and MP2, MP3, or AC3, but NOT LPCM in MPEG4 videos.

it only plays a certain format video. You can look up on youtube someone teaching this.

Does anyone know if you can play avi files (divx, xvid) from a USB thumb drive plugged into the front? The description just lists photos for the USB drive.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

The only files this TV plays using the USB input are JPG/JPEG photo-picture file types. It will not recognize MP3,MP4,AVI,MKV,VOB, etc.

The good news is that with recent updates, DLNA support is provided. The bad news is that is only supports DVD formatted mpeg2 files. To play other formats, you have to copy them to a USB memory stick and plug them into the USB port.

First, I do not think that the VOB files of a DVD format will play from a USB drivethru a DVD player. But I do use software to convert some DVD VOB formatsto AVI files that will play from a flash drive thru a DVD player.Does that make sense???

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

If you want DivX/XVid playback consider the Philips range of DVD players. The model I have has a USB slot up front - great for loading up something from your computer on a flash drive and enjoying it on your TV minutes later. Another interesting thing you can do is get an external hard drive (formatted to FAT32) and plug it in through the USB slot - it will read like normal like a giant flash drive. That's really awesome when you think about it!

Yes, this unit has a USB port on the side; description in the manual is as follows: "DVD playback condition for disc playback/USB/SD switch button". It can play Mp3 and MP4 files. It supports USB and SD/MMC. In the manual is the following: "Support MP4, MP3, WMA, MPG, AVI, VOB, DIVX, JPEG formats."

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.

i put a bunch of movies on my asus 904 ha....i used my mac desktop to "rip" a dvd movie...then i use an application called "handbrake" to turn it into an .avi file....if you download vlc media player (free)...you can play any ripped dvd movies on your asus...and because its .avi...the size is about 1gb per movie

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I suppose you can. It delivers AVCHD 1920x1080 files, so any modern software should be able to handle it. I know when I preview video, the windows player opens and plays it easily.

it plays everything more formats than any player i have ever had. AVI XVID DIVx these files play seamlessly from the USB drive cant wait to try my MASS USB drive (I have a 300 GB)... pictures are slow it doesnt do jpeg's imo. it is so slow i wouldnt use it for that. but every other feature works great. only upscales if you are able to use the HDMI

When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key. The last time I tried, it did not appear to work, and I recall recreating the files using handbrake or something in different formats, and was never able to make it work. I think I was about to unplug everything else and retry it when I gave up and put it on disk and played it through the blu-ray player. This is the link for my particular tv , which displays a list of the supported video formats. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201104/20110427083150372/BN68-01691A-02Eng-110427.pdf I took a snap shot, but apparently can't paste or attach via this communication mode. ( sorry ) there were some avi modes listed.
