Does it play .avi files? Does this tablet play .avi files or it is necessary to use a converter?

I have the Coby Kyros MID7016 it plays AVI right out of the box, no extra softaware or apps needed. I just navigate to the file using the ES Manager App (comes on kyros) and click the movie saved on my SD card with my finger and coby plays it with a built in Movie player....super easy on mine.....FYI mine has Android 2.3

The only file types I've noted the Note 10.1's default media player won't read are DivX and AC3. It plays 1080p AVI/MKV files without flinching and subtitles are a walk in the park.

It wouldn't matter what videos it plays...it isn't worth buying. It is junk and tablet express is a terrible company. This tablet quit working after only 3 months and they refused to do anything. Don't waste your money on this tablet or ANY tablet sold by tablet express.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.

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

It plays mp4 format per instruction manual. Our Viewsonic, however, does not...that aspect may be defective

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

Yes you can, it came preinstalled with xbmc which can play .mkv files natively. Or if you choose you can download an app like MX player from the okay store which can play .mkv files

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 honestly don't know the answer to that question. I've never tried playing an MP4 file on that player. I would assume it will since most do, but I've never tried so can't confirm it. So sorry I wasn't more help.

like the one guy mentioned there is app called es file explorer that gives you access to the memory card and i got a 32 gb card in my 16gb tablet. with the video player he mentioned (there are others out there) you can play videos or music which are on your memory card circumventing the transfer option the tablet gives you. also the video players lets you play other codecs that the tablets installed video player wont let you play. there are also music players that let you play flac. and other audio codecs files from the sd card

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

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.

You can plug a MicroSD card into it and play a video that way. But just so you know these Ematic Genensis are not touch screen tablets. These are resistive touch screens made of plastic and not glass so you have to press down with pressure in order to get a response. I was not very happy with these tablets as I was expecting something similiar to an actual android or apple tablet.

If I remember correctly, it comes with a CD to install a video converter. I think this turns them into .avi files, but my memory is a bit fuzzy, so I can't guarantee it.
