This should work fine with any external HDD which has an external power supply - it works fine with MyBook 320 GB. Most of the 3.5 inch external HDD are externally powered and they work fine with this DVD Player. However, some of the 2.5 inch drives (that do NOT need an external power supply) may not work.

You should be able to plug it in any USB port on your desktop or laptop. The computer will ask you what you want to do. Just open files and search for the video that's on the disk.

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.

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!!

Buy a divx dvd player. The Philips DVP5960 can play divx files right from a usb drive.

I am not very technical, so I am going to try the flash disk, but the information booklet says you can use an external USB drive or hard drive in PVR file format.

No, only through the hdmi cable. You have to buy a special cord 30 pin to hdmi and a mini hdmi adapter. The usb only works for a storage device reader.

I haven't tried that. what exactly are you trying to do? I'm connecting a flash drive to watch movies from it and also access my documents.

Yes, it will allow you to use a VGA monitor to connect to your RCA video output. Also, it comes with it's own power supply, so the USB is not an issue.

Sorry, I have not tried that. I got this unit to use with my phone but it should be able to handle reading the external drive

If it won't play DIVX files.....Download a program called "FourC Codec Changer" from the web.. Install the program and open. Next open the DIVX file you want to play in the program. In the "four cc description" box it will show the DIVX codec. Next in the "Four cc Used box" change that to .xvid. Now choose "apply" and exit.....Now it will play when you put it back in the USB port!

I use my external USB drive to download and watch movies. Works great and I have a Macbook Pro.

This will work as long as the video files dont have DTS audio. You can plug an external hard drive into the usb port on the side.

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

I'm looking at ir. It is a diagnostic port only, you cannot show video from a USB drive, but you should be able to get power from it. Good luck.

Yes, there is a USB port attached to the unit for you to connect a USB hard drive to. Obviously, the videos need to be in the supported format.
