What formats does it recognize? Videos: What format do the movies need to be in to view?

The movies need to be in Xvid format. There are many formats that can be stored in a AVI container. Most avi movies available for download are saved as x264, h264, or Xvid. Your other problem could be that the ED8850B doesn't support SDHC cards, only standard SD cards are supported. I use the USB input with a flash drive.

The projector is super picky about which files it will read. Everything needs to have the perfect settings for it to work. I ended up getting mine to work by using "Freemake Video Converter" with these settings: http://i.imgur.com/9HwTZtN.png .

If you have an iphone or ipad you can try to look up. VLC app (plays almost any vid format) or any video converter (to convert your movies to the accepted format for iphone or ipad and router.

You can most definitely play movies on it, I convert everything into .avi files though and noticed that it cannot take full HD, like the very large resolutions even if I thought it would but the lower ones like 480 it can take. But that wasn't a problem for me, there's a free software online you can reduce the size of the movies with. I haven't tried mp4 but the box says it would play. Good luck!

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

It should read standard DVDs just fine. If you are trying to watch a digital movie, it has to be in MPEG-2 format.

FYI, I found out VLC alone will not playback 1080p, at least not without your occasional skipping and stuttering. Install k-lite codecs and run the movies using Windows Media Player classic. It runs like a champ.

what I read in the manual states that you can have movies on a usb or sd card if you have movies on them and music the device will play audio then video. video also must be in mpeg1 or mpeg2 formats according the manual.

I am not sure about the video formats. I did buy this for a Christmas present and it has already quit working properly.

Yes, I still download current films converted to MKV and have no issues.(I updated system software only once, about 3 months after I got it, that was about 2 years ago I think

I have a JVC mg555, and I just changed a vid file ext to .mpg.WMM imports it, but is not reading the video part only audio. Weird. I am still working on it.
