I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I've never tried playing an MP4 file on that player. I would assume it will since most do, but I've never tried so can't confirm it. So sorry I wasn't more help.

I think it can if the files are renamed/formatted before playing. So I do not think it can read MP4 files as they are.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

It will play most all AVI files from either disc or USB drive. You can even plug in 2 USB drives and pick between them from the on screen display. I have found the BDP-80 to be my best player when it comes to DivX and Xvid formats. The FF is very smooth and playback is very snappy, plus load times are fast as well. Except for HD DVD discs, this thing can play every format I own. I don't think you will be disappointed with it.

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.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

Yes, you can play any MPEG encoded movies, Windows AVI format movies from this drive.

The file type I got needed to be opened in windows media player, VLC didn't take them which makes me think they would have to be converted before viewed on a Mac. I don't remember the file type but I don't think I got straight up mp4 as stated in the description.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

NO. As a matter of fact, the "advanced software" is so bad it won't allow you to even play mp4 files. at all

It will play Quick Time file formats, however it will not play the protected music/video files from apple.

the video is .MP4 so I am guessing that the audio would either be MP3 or AAC. I don't know how to check. I have never had trouble playing .MP4 with anything, it is the most commonly used format.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

It works fine.I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders.I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app.I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play.I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

Sorry - I am not familiar with AVI file types. It works great with regular DVDs.
