Any tips on getting the projector to read from an SD card? .Tried .avi, .m4v, .mp4 and the video file name shows up in the list but won't play. .wmv file plays audio, but not video.

First, do you mean Micro SD card? If so, only certain formats (handles) of .avi, mp4 etc are compatible. I experienced same problem. Also, if you used standard SD CARD in reader connected with optional micro-usb to usb adapter, does not even see the files. This adapter is listed in manual, on the box & in their website. They did away this feature with PK320, works with previous models, but never bothered to change manual, box & website.Tech support completely useless. I have returned mine unit, just too many other problems, recommend you do same. Just do a google search on reviews of this unit, you'll agree. First, do you mean Micro SD card?

I've converted my movies to AVI using Xilisoft and it plays with no problem.

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 .

You are supposed to run the converter within the device, once it's connected to the computer. All the files you want the projector to read shall be processed first by the converter. Then, from there you save them into the device and they should work fine.

The HP laptop, does it have a s_video port to output an image or to accept an image from an s_video source?I don't know about your situation, but I was able to hook an ipod to the mini projector and get a good video to play (on the front surface of my refrigerator, no less).

What do you mean? It has a sad card so if your computer has a slot it will read the data from the card. Movies are created in mp4 format. I had an issues using this format with moviemaker software on windows 7 . Have not tried it on windows8

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

I updated the copy of Flash delivered with the AR3700 to the current version 10.1.85.3 at the Adobe Web site before trying any YouTube HD videos. (Also upgrade Acrobat Reader to the current version 9.4 while you're there.) If I right-click a video, and select Settings, it shows Adobe Flash Player Settings, and Display, and Enable hardware acceleration, which is checked. Try viewing the Toy Story 3 - Official Trailer [HD]. That one played perfectly for me both last night and again just now. I also just successfully watched the "Knives Out" music video by Radiohead on Hulu, in full screen mode on a 1600 by 1200 pixel screen. If your PC still can't view those videos, it's possible you have a hardware issue. One other thing you might check is the NVIDEA control panel, which in turn can take you to the NVIDEA Web site.

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

Mine has a video out, but I haven't used it, so I can't confirm the quality (I usually take the micro-sd out to transfer files if there's any I want to save or review). Per my experience with the rest of the unit, there's no reason to expect it wouldn't work fine, though.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

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.

please make sure the video file is compatible with the projector, you cannot install a codec on to this model the audio needs to be able to decode in order to play sound so take a look at the file you are trying to play, if it is not compatible you can convert it using a video converter (you can download one free from many places on the web), the mx 400 has android built in and can play any kind of video even stream from netflix and it has 4 times the power it is more expensive tho

I haven't used MM as I'm a Linux guy but I had the same problem: mplayer was no audio, vlc would sometimes play them, sometimes would hang, sometimes with repeating audio and Parole was fine. But the root of the problem is the Quicktime format MOV files. It's a hack, but there's a way to put the ROAM2 firmware on the ROAM (basically rename the ROAM2 firmware filename). They now use MP4. As a bonus you get 60fps and a LOT of options. It's like having a ROAM2 without the lock switch basically.

Hi, are you using USB directly on the projector? If so, it should work fine. Cheers.

I never try loading movies from USB and SD card, I always watch movie from DVD. My model is 4 years old so it does not have SD card slot.

The 3DPlayer currently supports the following file formats. Video: wmv, avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, mkv, rmvb, rm and flv. Photo: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, and bmp . Newest version of VMP supports MPO and a registered user can upgrade directly from VMP. Once VMP is launched go to "About" and tap on "update". Notes on SmartCard and USB In addition to SDHC cards (32GB max, 4GB max file size), it reads SDXC (&gt;32GB, no file size limit) and exFAT/NTFS formatted cards, e.g. with Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro-SD card (exFAT), and 2GB card formatted with NTFS. Works well for large videos from Bluray-3D. NOTE: Very large 3D movie files placed in the card root may cause a crash so place them in a folder. They will however work either way in 2D. The USB port reads 128GB USB Flash pen using an adapter. I don't know about avchd but the player is continually being updated.

I just tried both avi and mp4 from a flash drive and both were detected but did not play. Bummer
