I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

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.

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

First, You would select usb using the input button same as you select the DVD feature. If you are trying to view pictures from a camera(make sure it's turned on) or flash drive, plug it in first, then select the usb through the input button. If you are trying to watch a downloaded movie on your usb drive this will not work. To watch movies from a flash drive, you would need something that has a usb input which processes video, and outputs that are compatible with your TV's A/V inputs. I have tried the usb inputs on many TV's and DVD players with no success. I have heard that certain videogame consoles work well showing videos from usb drives but that's a "$400.00 solution". Think of my usb input as a new place to charge my phone.

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.

Yes it can. It will play movies and videos right from your stick or usb hard drive. Plays formats like avi,mp4,dvix,xvid,matroksa,wmv,flv and much more.

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.

Yes Harriet. As long as you have a television with USB ports you can do so. I watch movies I Watch movies in this way all the time on my Samsung tv. It is very convenient. Plug in the External drive and when it appears choose the video folder and your movies and shows will appear. Choose one, press enter on TV remote and you are go to go. Cheers

The USB and the SD card drive is for pictures and music only. You cannot play your mp4 or any other video format on the system. I have to return mine back because it won't play any other video format.

Yes, it will play mp4s, flvs for video and windows formatted music (mp3, I think)

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

Yes, you can...Because you need a USB port just for the power and a AV port to play.

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.
