Will it accept and play avi and mkv formats? and any other complicated formats for that matter..

This microSDHC card is just a storage device. It will happily accept any file formats you write to it. It is your player (cell phone or tablet) that needs to know how to decode the video file format and display it on the screen.

Cant really say,but convert all your videos to MPEG format it's big but it will play.

i've only tried avi, and it worked fine. I mostly bought it because it gave access to ebooks.

Two Formats : Avi and H264, there is no any problem working with Avi, but H264 is too complicated trying to edit it.

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

All I can say is that I have been able to play .mp4 720p files without any problem. I don't know what other formats will work.

It depends on the encoding of the .avi file, but in general it does play .avi files. Avi files encoded using DivX will definitely work, others are hit or miss.

none that i know of; this item seems only to allow games and videos/movies in MP4 and maybe wmv. also pictures but won't except emulators or any apps i tried to load. U can get free games from CoolRoms.com u might have to change some to bin (binary format) Item does only what is advertised(MAYBE!) buyer beware!

It will play XBMC 13.1 you must go to System/settings/videoSet yourself to expert level user, them go to hardware acceleration and disable video codecs.

Short answer is yes. However the AVI support is somewhat misleading, as it will only play videos encoded with MjEPG. As most cameras do not use this codec, you will need to convert the video file before adding it to the frame. Here are some instructions http://www.fixya.com/support/t1391643-pandigital_7_photo_frame_play_video#bmb=1

For MKV, that depends on the files. Video files are more complex than what filename extension they use. The MKV vidoes would need to meet certain requirements, one of which is to be H.264. http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-What-media-file-types-does-the-Roku-Media-Player-channel-support-Roku does not support the (outdated) AVI format directly.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

Yes, you can play any MPEG encoded movies, Windows AVI format movies from this drive.

I have very positive experiences from using GOM player in playing many different media formats. It automatically find codecs and everything. Perhaps you should give it a try for the new AVCHD format also.

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.

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
