I can't answer about the 4250. Although that's what the seller advertised, it turned out to be a 3030. I believe is has USB 2.0 ports. However, I have no problem playing a DVD on and external USB DVD-Rom drive. As far as "most media types", I'm sure that would depend on what software you use. Whereas this unit came with Win7, I've never tried Win Media Player on it, but installed VLC (a free open-source application) for my media player. VLC plays a multitude of media formats.

3 usb 2.0 ports. I have used an external usb dvd drive but not tried playing media. External hard drive works too, but have not tried media play on that either.

It comes with 3 ports. If you can plug it in, you can play it. I have tried some but not all of the media types you mentioned. I Love this little thing.

I have the 2 port version. I purchased it because the sewell version was crap. I like to record myself playing xbox and this unit solved the hdcp issues I was facing. If your having issues with hdcp then Make Sure you purchase the 1.3 Version . 1.3 is the most compatible with gaming systems. 1.4 causes problems.

I plugged mine into a 2.0 computer. The drive allows for a 3.0 connection, but works with a 2.0.

The end of your question was cut off but I think I have enough to answer. The WDTv Play has a USB port. I use it to connect directly to an external drive with movies on it. It plays most of the movies I have but not all. I haven't looked into it in more detail to see why some play and some do not. My current guess is the format. I have AVI, MP4, MPG, MKV, and WMV formats. I believe it will play AVI, MP4 and WMV. I think it doesn't play MKV. If we pick one it doesn't play we always just try another one.

Will work fine with usb 2.0 but at that speed... 3.0 cards are inexpensive. . Suggest the quick upgrade. . You won't regret it.. My probox is a god send. . Love it.. My entire dvd collection on hd in iso format

No, it does not have a 2.0 connection. I use it for an external hard drive, but it plugs into a 3.0. Hope this helps.

I have a mkv that is a 1080p rip, plays 100% fine over SMB on CAT5e wired gigabit and tips in at 15GB, not as far as you wanted to know, but it doesn't struggle for me. Hope this helps a little.

Ah...I see. I had the Shark007 32-bit drivers installed but didn't yet have the 64-bit drivers installed. I installed the 64-bit drivers and then rebooted. I opened WMP12; however, all my mkv's are still in the "Other Media" list in WMP12. Do you know how to make WMP12 re-categorize the mkv's from "Other Media" into "Videos"?

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Biji! As USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, you can connect this product to a USB 2.0 port on the system. However, the USB 3.0 product drops down to USB 2.0 mode. We do not recommend playing video intensive applications on any display that is connected via USB 2.0 because of the lag caused by bandwidth limitations of USB 2.0. If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

It comes with its own cable, which is for 3.0, but if you plug it into a 2.0 port it should work fine, but only if the hd is 2.0 too. Otherwise your PC will let you know it can run faster and you should plug it into a 3.0 port.

Yes it will play mp4 and dvix bought one for my coworker and have yet to run across a file it won't play. I personally own a micca player with dual usb with two 2tb harddrives. The menu on the micca is alot cleaner and smooth. Plus I likethe remote better. But for price this is a ddecent unit. Does all that it should plus.

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

It supports most all of them EXCEPT WMV. For some reason they excluded Windows Media Player files from their list. I have to convert My WMV videos into AVI or something. Other than that it has been a great little DVR, and digital converter (my original need for it), for the money.
