Can this unit be connected to a rear seat overhead monitor and play movies stored on a USB drive? If yes, which file formats?

This unit has a video out component connection, file format I am unsure on but if it's on an ipod the unit can read it. I don't believe it can separate sources though so if you play a movie/TV show, the audio will play through the whole car.

I don't know. I use a seagate movie player to access my movies. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.

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!

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

Yes, I put movies on a thumb drive and watch from the tablet. I didn't have as much success connecting my portable HDD though. Given the low amount of storage on the tablet, I personally won't actually store video on it.

Even USB 2.0 drives can will work for watching HD movies. The big difference will be the transfer speeds transferring large movies or HD movies to and from the USB drive. Transferring HD movies on a USB 2.0 drive is painfully slow.

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 you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

No you can't, but you can plug a roku into the HDMI and plug the USB drive into it and watch it that way

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

I don't believe you can watch movies right from the Flashdrive. You can hook other peripherals up to the projector such as a computer or laptop and play the movies from there. This is a great projector and we love the image it provides on our 110" screen in the media room.

You can play movies on it, but it is hard to figure out how to do this. Let me explain. I have a USB with 127 movie files on it. I plugged it in to this IVIEW and selected USB as the source. I got the first avi file to play, but I could not figure out to access its subtitles even though the srt file name was displayed. In order to read the remaining 126 files I had to stop the film and then select the USB again. The IVIEW displayed the USB folders much faster than any other player I own. I somehow managed to access a video_ts folder and got that film to play. Again no subtitles could be accessed. When I went back to access some other film files I could not remember what buttons I pushed to view the previous film. There are no instructions from IVIEW on how to use the remote control buttons to access the various video folders. Most of the remote control buttons seem totally useless to me. I pressed every button and it kept saying "feature not available at this time" or some other negative statement. There are many options offered on the right had side of the screen display, but none of these make the film file play on the TV. One would think that selecting the folder and then pressing the PLAY button would work. No it does not. The player seems to have a good brain software with terrible operating instructions and useless remote control. This player does well with avi and other files that are burned on to discs. For my USB film files I always use my Western Digital streamer [the disc menu features work best on the streamer] or my Philips 5990/5992 dvp.
