Can you play video from a USB drive? What format does the video have to be in?

Yes. Video has to be in .mpg format (mpeg1/mpeg2). Unit only sees dvd formats, not .avi, .mpg4 so you'll have to use a pc to convert the files to .mpg. You can set up your usb drive with a "music" and "movies" base folder and then either drop mpg movies or mp3 music files in those folders, or you can stack folders inside of folders, i.e., "movies/comedy". 32 gb thumb drives work, haven't tested larger. Use standard usb thumb drives, unit does not read micro sized usb drives like the HP v165w. USB drive needs to be formatted fat32.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

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.

I'm not sure if you can plug an External USB device and play the files, you could however share your DVD/BluRay drive on your computer and play the files over the newtork (wired gigabit connection to be stable). It will play bluray/dvd iso or raw files. I bought a few 4TB externals and just created ISO files out of my blurays so I don't have to get up and get the disc, I can just select them from a list and play them.

Yes. The video will have to be formatted to the resolution of the player. (You can get the exact information from the manufacturer website) but once you get the video loaded into the flash drive (provided) it plays flawlessly and loops without a flicker. Their are also speakers inside the unit. not great. But adequate for table side presentation.

The MP4 video format is not recognized by the DVD. I have played Mp3 audio files from the flash drive as well as videos in DivX and VOB format. Be aware that when you are checking the directories in the flash drive, you need to press the "TITLE" button on the remote to switch between audio, photo or video files, otherwise the files are not visible in the directory as you are trying to play them.

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.

I think the.usb is only for backing up or downloading videos. It requires an internal hard drive

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.

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

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.

It plays DVDs (not blueray) and avi movies saved to your usb drive. According to the manual it will convert the songs on a music CD to music files on your usb drive but I haven't tried it. Has output to your TV for HDMI and composite video.

If you use a USB to MICRO USB adapter, you can use a flash drive to watch movies. I usually just rip DVD's to micro SD card and watch movies, but I also use a flash drive on occasion. I just find it more convenient for me to not have to worry about misplacing the flash drive. Yes it does have a video player.

Any USB works, You must load a playlist of the music you want to hear onto the thumb drive and it will play them in sequence or random I believe, It can't record to the drive just play.
