Can the FX820 player video files from DVD, for example, .jpg?

Huh! Figure! I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit. That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

No. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but not without accessing the hard drive directly. However, since the unit has the capability of transferring to a DVD directly from the hard drive why would you consider going that route?

Actually I purchased the DVD for my brother who lives in other country and took the DVD player with him. We put USB drives and Data DVD's with videos in AVI format, and played them without difficult. Probably some videos were in another format but I don't remember, the fact is that all the videos in the media were played. I don't think it would be able to read video formats from camcorders or Digital cameras without conversion to playable formats.

probanbly not. dvd's have a coding making them impossible or very difficult to copy. a special software is needed.

Sorry I don't know to what you are referring regarding the $80/year software. All you need is a media player program such as Windows Media Player, VLC or Media Player Classic, all of which you can download for free. Plug in the drive, insert the disc then open the media player and instruct it to play using the external drive, using whichever letter your computer designates for it. I just played a DVD using the drive and VLC with no problem so it should work for you. Hope this helps.

No I don't think so. It functions with an SD card, which is better because you can then transfer that to your computer and make dvds.

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

No, you'll need a PC to have any functionality. It's a simple external DVD "Drive" and not a "player" of any sorts.

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

No, the unit can not record to a DVD player directly. You may be able to transfer the file to another device (like a computer) and then convert it to a DVD, but this would not be a simple task.

Yes, as long as the DVD file structure is adhered to. Data DVD will not play on most DVD stand alone players. If you are trying to "copy" a DVD Movie, you will need the correct software to burn a DVD stand alone player compatible. There is a lot more to your question than a simple yes or no will answer.

Yes you can use windows media player but u can't make a dvd. You need a separate program for that not sure which one

Yes. I've done this. Just record the program to a high speed USB drive and the file will be crystal clear video you can play with VLC.

The short answer is no. The longer answer is this frame (quoting from the manual) "only supports JPEG and Motion JPEG files taken from a digital camera". That means most video formats, especially high definition formats, would not play unless converted to Motion JPEG. It displays JPEG photos beautifully but is not the right choice for video.

That may be the case but to convert a DVD to a file on the PC you need a good program to convert it to that specific device format ie. mp4, AAC, WMV and so on. With Wondershare you just choose your specific device from a list and it does the rest for you.

Not that I know of... If you have the video on another device you can hook it up through video input or just watch the DVD if thats what you mean
