How do you get movies on the projector? Can movies be downloaded on the projector via a flash drive?

Actually, this particular projector doesn't allow you to download movies. I have a dvd player that I plug up to it. The quality of the picture displayed is excellent no matter the type of dvd player you use. It can be a cheap one or top of the line I've compared them.

YES IT DOES HAVE USB PORT! They must have upgraded this projector, because I just received mine (I ordered it Oct 17, 2013) and it DOES have a usb connector for a flash drive. Located directly under the HDMI plugin. And I've played videos from the flashdrive.

It's a really nice projector for the money, But movies can't be uploaded to the system it does not have a usb or a hard drive or an sd card slot.

No slot for a flash drive, but I use the hdmi, & vga cable ports. There is also a coaxial cable hook up.

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.

Though I can't say that I have done this personally, the projector has type A & B USB so you can plug it directly into the projector itself. I do believe I read somewhere you can do it, I don't remember where. Here is the site that I use to get most of my information and compare different models to determine what best suites my needs: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-EX5210-projection-calculator-pro.htm?haveflashipromise

Using presentation material will work. The projector shoots whatever is on your screen. Just open the file and maximize the screen coverage. Works the same way like with a movie.

Currently have it running through the USB port on projector. It does come with a plug adapter if USB is not an option.

First, You would select usb using the input button same as you select the DVD feature. If you are trying to view pictures from a camera(make sure it's turned on) or flash drive, plug it in first, then select the usb through the input button. If you are trying to watch a downloaded movie on your usb drive this will not work. To watch movies from a flash drive, you would need something that has a usb input which processes video, and outputs that are compatible with your TV's A/V inputs. I have tried the usb inputs on many TV's and DVD players with no success. I have heard that certain videogame consoles work well showing videos from usb drives but that's a "$400.00 solution". Think of my usb input as a new place to charge my phone.

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.

No, it most likely does not have the drivers for a projector. It is used for USB flash drives and gaming controllers mostly.

You could do this on this device. Just keep in mind that downloading movies is a violation of law . If you still do this, make sure your TV has a compatible USB port on it somewhere, and refer to your user manual on how to connect to the USB device.

Yes you can but the flash drive has to be connected to a laptop. I don't think you can use the projector without a computer. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

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.

Playing time depends on the movie, not the drive. If you mean copying time, that depends on your usb connection.

There is software available from Pogoplug that you can download that lets you see the attached drive(s) on your network. All you would have to do on your tablet is to browse that drive and pick your movie and play it directly. You need to make sure your tablet's video player has the proper codec and supports the resolution of the video i.e. you cant play 1080p movie if your device only supports 720p etc.

I'm not sure what pendrive is, but I know that the projector has to be connected to something through Hdmi in order to project an image

I have been unable to find a remote for the projector. I also have not been able to find the computer, iPhone, or iPad cord or adapter for the USB input port. I have a perfectly good projector that is unsuitable for every intended use. Wish I knew that before I bought it.

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

If you mean remote control , yes . Very easy to use and it has all the features and inputs , when you use sd card or usb , you can use the remote to check on your files , and to save you some time , you can do everything with just the remote , i never used the projector it self .
