what i want to do is to download a movie from my thumbdrive in avi or mkv formats, then use the program to make it into a normal dvd. Can it do that?

Hello, I work for Nero and saw your question about Nero 2014 Platinum. Good news: Nero 2014 Platinum is exactly the product you need for converting your movies from avi, mkv, or other formats and burning them onto a DVD that can be played back in any DVD player. Simply start the application Nero Video, select "DVD" -&gt; "DVD-Video", then add your avi or mkv files to the compilation, enter an empty DVD media to your recorder drive, start the burning process, that's it. Thanks and best regards, Eduardo Vento

It has an older version of XMBC on it, so you can launch that - you'll have to navigate the file sources from inside the menu to find the mkv file, but generally yes. There may be issues with accelerated decoding, HD video from a usb thumb drive may be choppy.I would heartily recommend you install the latest version of XBMC, it was recently renamed to Kodi http://kodi.tv/download/

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

Good question. I've never tried that. Most disc are encoded with some security so your computer will not allow you to download or copy them. I'm sure there's some stuff to download to get around that but I have no idea. If you did get around the security I'm sure you can have the entire film on your computer then of course you can do what you want with it.

That is how I burn MKV to a DVD-R disc--as a DATA disc. Then when it comes up, I select it and it plays, unless it happens to be something the LG doesn't like. There are a few videos in MKV containers it will not play on disc but will play on a USB stick.

As far as I remember you have to enter a code and then download the program. Edit: I see from my review I had problems with the file and ended up having to buy a DVD. I wasn't the only one though I don't know how prevalent the problem is now.

Of course you can play any AVI directly from an USB pen drive... works perfect!!!I only have a doubt, have anyone tried to play any AVI from a portable Hard disk (USB 2.0) ?

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.

It should, although I haven't tried it. Most people want to go the other way around... Record on the hard drive (temporary) and archive onto DVD (temporary to semi-permanent to permanent, depending on the type of DVD disk.) May I ask why you would want to put something from a playable archived format onto a temporary unit?

The answer is YES. The MKV files look great on dvd, because this thing upconverts the file back up to hd. It's like watching blu-ray. WAY BETTER than watching an upconverted STANDARD DVD.

Seems like only the MOV format is supported. The manual only references MOV file extensions and there is no option to change movie formats.

No, I tried to do just that because I wanted to us it with my copy of Adobe On Location or to use my VCR or Disc play. None of this worked, I am still looking for what arrangement will allow me to use it successfully

Get an USB DVD drive or copy your DVDs in another computer to an ISO file and load them with a virtual drive like Virtual Clone Drive.

Not 100% sure as I never tried, but it does have a DVD drive, so I assume if you have the right software you could.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.
