Will this projector play video from the usb or just photos?

It can but it may be sluggish at times so its best for power point or pictures.

once you have the basic connect as input video ( yellow cable) and audio ( red and white) for audio on the projector that should work fine for you , unless the projector need some unique setting/features

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

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

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.

Yes. The video will have to be formatted to the resolution of the player. (You can get the exact information from the manufacturer website) but once you get the video loaded into the flash drive (provided) it plays flawlessly and loops without a flicker.Their are also speakers inside the unit.not great. But adequate for table side presentation.

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

Yes! It has a USB port. This is my primary mode of projecting images for large format uses with this projector. Put image on USB drive, plug USB drive into projector, and open!

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

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.

I should work fine if you use the SD card after creating you're slideshow on computer making it an executable file.. I played a movie using mine in this way. The clarity isn't the best..and keep in mind this little devices bulbs runs hot. I couldn't initialize the USB input to function with my PC however.

- I bought one but that item has some problem with the USB port: it cannot play video/image files directly from an USB drive. I've returned that item.- The SD port workd well, and I can project jpeg pictures with good quality, depends on the original image quality.

I honestly don't know...what i do know is i hook up my mac and my son's HP to it and play videos through the projector and it works great. Sorry I can't be more of a help.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I don't think so Christian. I think it can only display photos and play music via the USB port -- not videos. Also, I can't get it to display my photo's anyhow, so I can't even judge if that feature is good or not.

I am fairly sure the device has to be plugged into a PC/MAC USB port to render the video. I don't think it works by just plugging into a projectors USB port as the projector doesn't have a CPU/GPU to render graphics, hence, how this DL-195 chipset works.

The model I received has an HDMI port where you can get a video streaming.With usb only port, you can try a USB to HDMI port converter.
