does this tv play avi video format via USB? or which formats does it play?

I have no idea as I bought this TV for my elderly father to use at his assisted living facility and he and we are satisfied for him just to turn the TV on and off and switch the channels. Sorry.

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.

No, DVDs have to be structured according to spec and contain only MP2 video with AC23, DTS, or MPEG audio. However, you can play your AVI files via the USB port, using a thumb drive. By the way, my Phillips DVD player failed the other day and I'm no longer recommending this brand.

This TV does not have a USB type connection at all, however it does have a SD card slot and can play movies off of a sd card, also tv has a PC connection on back so u can plug a labtop into it and play moves that way as well.

The USB and the SD card drive is for pictures and music only. You cannot play your mp4 or any other video format on the system. I have to return mine back because it won't play any other video format.

It does have a USB port.... but all the AVI & mp3 & mp4 files that i compress plays on this Phillips DVP3880K All Region player. So far there is no problem with it...& i hope it stays that way. Im waiting for my SONY DVD Burner i purchased last week & hope it arrives tomorrow. But UPS says by weeks end at the 20th of Sept. As i mentioned this player has a USB port, but never tried to use it yet to play files from another USB drive & get it recognized. Cordially, Chas.DeQ.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

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.

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

you need to use a flash drive (I've used my Sandisk Cruzer and it works fine) connected to the USB port to play mp3s (I believe you can view pictures in jpeg from a flash drive too). Make sure you're using the correct type of SD card to view jpeg pictures. Also, the TV doesn't support .avi files. Look in the TV manual to find the correct settings to view or listen to files...it's not automatic.

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.

Yes,it can read external usb hard disk, we have tested with the 1TB seagate hard disk, and also can play videos on disk directly. also it support RMVB, you can use "MX PLAYER" to play the RMVB video.

No. I think the USB port on most TV's only allow firmware updates to be performed, not video to be streamed. Call or email StarTech: www.startech.com/Tel: 1-800-265-1844 to verify.

You can play certain formats via USB. This is what they list as compatible, but there may be more: MP3/WMA/WAV, JPEG, DivX(R)/MPEG1/MPEG2. The KWV41BT is the newer model, but I do not see any feature set differences between the units. Just some slight cosmetic and GUI changes.

It supports JPEG files, in fact that's the ONLY image format supported (JPEG and JPG file extensions). Images can be set to loop, and in fact this is covered in the TV's user's manual on page 95:http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=3596913

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.

Yes,it support usb HDD, we have tried the 2TB ones, it can play videos from HDD without problem.

The simple answer is, 'no, it does not play DVD's'. You have to do that through your computer and one of the USB or HDMI Cables; it does however accept USB Sticks.
