What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

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.

Blu-ray?? Naaa, is too cheaper to come with blu-ray!! Can play blu-ray ripped videos like MKV extentions or Mpeg with Xvid or DivX compression, but not blu-ray disc phisically!! Sorry!!

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

I've never tried it, but I'm sur you could using the right software. The file output is .avi. Which is a movie file. Maybe if you could open the file in something like movie maker. I'll try it and let you know how it works.

I couldn't play them on the device either, so I hooked it up to my computer, found the videos folder (for the camera) & double clicked on the video file and it plays.

Anyways, just because you have to convert your avi files doesn't mean it doesn't play avi files. They're still avi's, just configured differently. Most of the ones you have are probably too high resolution or bitrate or have something else about them the Latte is incompatible with, so you have to reencode them to make them meet its requirements. They're still avi files, though.

When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key. The last time I tried, it did not appear to work, and I recall recreating the files using handbrake or something in different formats, and was never able to make it work. I think I was about to unplug everything else and retry it when I gave up and put it on disk and played it through the blu-ray player. This is the link for my particular tv , which displays a list of the supported video formats. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201104/20110427083150372/BN68-01691A-02Eng-110427.pdf I took a snap shot, but apparently can't paste or attach via this communication mode. ( sorry ) there were some avi modes listed.

It does play .avi and XviD, but not DivX. And the type of codec the file was created with can effect the video. I'd say that 80% of the avis and mpegs I've loaded work properly. Though I have seen one file not play sound, a couple files loose sync between sound and video and sometimes a file just won't play. These specific problems always happen with the specific file. Wolverine Data's website recommends (and sells I think) a software app for turning your DVDs into files that work flawlessly with the ESP

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.

Try using Real Player, that is the only program that I have used that will play the Olympus .mov files with out a problem.

It plays flv files.. I have a few videos I got from YouTube that saved as flv files and they work. If by the off chance they don't work there is a free program called handbrake that will convert them to almost any file format you want.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

I agree with Diane K. . Also You must have a player for your video. We ran into a problem that the video type we had would not work so I used ffmpeg (very versatile software) to make an audio file (mp3) from the video file. Then the resulting audio file worked great with the mac and the vpedal. my wife does a lot of transcriptions and sometimes i need to chop off parts of the file or take out a part in the middle. I use ffmpeg for that as well. runs on my PC and on mac
