I never try loading movies from USB and SD card, I always watch movie from DVD. My model is 4 years old so it does not have SD card slot.

Yes. Video has to be in .mpg format (mpeg1/mpeg2). Unit only sees dvd formats, not .avi, .mpg4 so you'll have to use a pc to convert the files to .mpg. You can set up your usb drive with a "music" and "movies" base folder and then either drop mpg movies or mp3 music files in those folders, or you can stack folders inside of folders, i.e., "movies/comedy". 32 gb thumb drives work, haven't tested larger. Use standard usb thumb drives, unit does not read micro sized usb drives like the HP v165w. USB drive needs to be formatted fat32.

I bought 2 from a car stereo store and tried to play videos from both. When it didn't work I did some research and learned they will only show pictures from the SD and USB. huge bummer. manual says: USB supports: MP3 and JPEG files only and will NOT support: BMP, M4P, WAV, ASF, H.264, DivX, WMA.

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

My Coby TF-DVD7377 reads and plays USB flash sticks with no problem. The ones I'm using are an 8-gig Lexar (for video) and a 4-gig Dane-Elec (for MP3 music). I do not currently own one of the newer USB-powered external hard drives, so I cannot comment on that. However, this Coby player is able to read and play files from my five-year-old Western Digital 80-gig hard drive (the WD drive is powered by an AC adapter).

The USB port only plays music (I believe in mp3 format) and pictures (in jpg). Movies don't work, unfortunately.

First, I do not think that the VOB files of a DVD format will play from a USB drivethru a DVD player. But I do use software to convert some DVD VOB formatsto AVI files that will play from a flash drive thru a DVD player.Does that make sense???

I have never tried this. However, I have read other reviews on this DVD player that stated that downloaded DVD movies to the USB drive can be played.

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

I'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

If you use a USB to MICRO USB adapter, you can use a flash drive to watch movies. I usually just rip DVD's to micro SD card and watch movies, but I also use a flash drive on occasion. I just find it more convenient for me to not have to worry about misplacing the flash drive. Yes it does have a video player.

I have tried to play all types of vides formats through my LG TVs and dvd player usb ports but they will cannot recognise any files on this drive. What am I doing wrong here? I have formatted the device, there is no software installed on it. Playback works fine on my laptop and galaxy tab. :-(

Don't think that's possible. Pretty sure you need the USB port - plugged directly into my DVD player's USB port.

Yes. You can play stored movie files directly from the sd card or transfer it to the internal memory. I would keep it on the sd card, though.

No, DVDs have to be structured according to spec and contain only MP2 video with AC23, DTS, or MPEG audio. However, you can play your AVI files via the USB port, using a thumb drive. By the way, my Phillips DVD player failed the other day and I'm no longer recommending this brand.

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.
