I noticed that one of the file formats is .avi, I was wondering does it play the sound along with the videos?

Short answer is yes. However the AVI support is somewhat misleading, as it will only play videos encoded with MjEPG. As most cameras do not use this codec, you will need to convert the video file before adding it to the frame. Here are some instructions http://www.fixya.com/support/t1391643-pandigital_7_photo_frame_play_video#bmb=1

I haven't used that function. I have had it play music behind my slideshows, which it does quite well. I expected to be able to load my photos and music onto the Digital Frame via a USB cable, however that didn't seem to work. I expected that USB wireless ability to be built in, so that way was not possible unless I wanted to go buy one somewhere. So, I was left with moving my files and music to a memory card and then putting that into the Digital Window to get it there. The instructions are barely minimal. The picture quality is excellent.

Honestly, I've not been able to get it to play any of the video formats -- and I've tried them all. Effectively, I pretty much use it just for music.

I've played unencrypted MP4 files with no issue. However, I do not have any DivX files so couldn't answer related to that file format.

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

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

There so many different file types. Most music is in Mp3 format- Yes it does support them; there are Wavs, which are sound clips- Yes it does support them; There are WMAs (as mentioned below) it plays them. There are movies; they are avi's and mp4's- Yes it supports them (And more). But you must first download them to your computer, then you can transfer them to your player, I have found very few files it won't play.

The MP4 video format is not recognized by the DVD. I have played Mp3 audio files from the flash drive as well as videos in DivX and VOB format. Be aware that when you are checking the directories in the flash drive, you need to press the "TITLE" button on the remote to switch between audio, photo or video files, otherwise the files are not visible in the directory as you are trying to play them.

With native (included) software, you can only play the formats listed in the description. However, with Rockbox installed (free!) you can play AAC, and MP4 files. It will not display much less play protected AAC files. I didn't have any MP4 audio files, but I loaded an mp4 video file and it played the audio from it. There's no way to play video on it that I know of (but I may be wrong). The video games that come with Rockbox are pretty tiny but most of the work well.

Yes, once I loaded the photos and video on the computer it played the video fine without any downloading anything special. I use Windows 8

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) A better question is what format will it not play.

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

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.

Actually I purchased the DVD for my brother who lives in other country and took the DVD player with him. We put USB drives and Data DVD's with videos in AVI format, and played them without difficult. Probably some videos were in another format but I don't remember, the fact is that all the videos in the media were played. I don't think it would be able to read video formats from camcorders or Digital cameras without conversion to playable formats.

Any idea about a software which convert the files to those format. I want to play YouTube downloaded videos but can't. I tried to convert to mpeg2 but those r not working. Any input is appreciated.
