Can I play mp4 files on this blu ray player?

Yes, I bought this instead of a PS3 because it supports mp4 files and can stream them a computer on the same home network. You can either install Homestream to the computer (for broader file recognition i.e. MKV) or put them in the My Videos folder of Windows 7 and it will automatically locate the files under the "video" category of the Blu ray player!

It plays mp4 format per instruction manual. Our Viewsonic, however, does not...that aspect may be defective

Software can be downloaded online or you can request a disc from us - I would need to know what you operating system you have and if you are needing a media player to play blu ray/dvd or the burning software to burn cd/dvd/blu ray - Thank you

Yes it will read dvds just fine but mp4s must be in a particular format to play.

I haven't used this feature much, but it has played an MKV file via a thumb drive on the USB port. I don't remember which audio/video codecs that MKV used. The Samsung page on it says that it plays "MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX HD, AVCHD, MKV, WMV" formats. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/blu-ray-dvd/BD-F5100/ZA-specs Hope that helps, -Dan

Hello, yes it does play Blue Ray files. I havent used the player in years. The network connection had to be fast or connect the player directly to the HDD.This might help. http://www.pavtube.com/guide/watch-blu-ray-with-seagate-freeagent-theater-plus-for-mac.html

yes! I play mkv files on mine from an external hard drive. Occasionally the mkv will not read well on the blu ray player, even though it plays on a computer, but this is rare. good luck! -Jay

Sorry I do not know if it plays mp4 video files as I have never tried doing that myself.

It's highly unlikely that this will work on a Blu-Ray player. When you plug this in to a windows PC, the PC sees this as a thumb drive and allows you to load the windows drivers that are stored on the device. I also know that Fedora Linux 17 will load this device without needing any extra software.

This unit plays 1080P Hi-Def files of almost any type imaginable, it supports external drives up to 2TB in both FAT32 OR NTFS. I have no experience with capture devices formatting Blu-ray files. As far as I know, most higher-end capture programs can accept the HDMI output of a blu-ray player but still will only create a 1080P file structure for it. The Micca only accepts USB file inputs but does so seamlessly - mine struggles with USB-3 external devices and would recommend using USB-2 devices up to 2 TB each. There are 2 USB inputs that can run 2 devices simultaneously.

Yes you can play Blu-ray movies. You need to buy a software program to play the movies. Yes it's a combo drive and will do DVDs and CDs.The Blu-Ray program I found that works best on my Windows 7 is from IDeer.

No, not for Blu-Ray movie playback. You'll need to purchase that separatley. There are several demo versions of software you can try out on the internet, the full versions of which run between 50-100 USD.

I don't think so. But, as I am concerned, I wouls not rebuy that player. Cannot read many many DVD Blu ray.

As long as you have the codecs for DVD, any Blu Ray player will play them. If you're using Windows, Media Player will have the correct codecs.
