can I plug a flash drive into it to watch a movie on the flash drive? Does it have a video player?

No. It is not equipped with an USB port, however, it is equipped with a micro-sd port so you may download videos to this and yes, it runs videos.

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 you use a USB to MICRO USB adapter, you can use a flash drive to watch movies. I usually just rip DVD's to micro SD card and watch movies, but I also use a flash drive on occasion. I just find it more convenient for me to not have to worry about misplacing the flash drive. Yes it does have a video player.

I don't believe you can watch movies right from the Flashdrive. You can hook other peripherals up to the projector such as a computer or laptop and play the movies from there. This is a great projector and we love the image it provides on our 110" screen in the media room.

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.

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.

Yes. The video will have to be formatted to the resolution of the player. (You can get the exact information from the manufacturer website) but once you get the video loaded into the flash drive (provided) it plays flawlessly and loops without a flicker.Their are also speakers inside the unit.not great. But adequate for table side presentation.

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Yes, you can put a flash drive into the usb port and it will play the music stored on it. Be advised that this unit does not come with and is not capable of being controlled by a remote since it has no IR sensor. I returned my unit and bought the Panasonic RX-D55GC-K which is more expensive but has a remote and is in my opinion, a better unit.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

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.

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!!

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

This player is very basic if you connected a usb external drive it will play normal MPEG movies but will not copy to disk you need another model player for that

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV.I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

I have not found a way to have the phone recognize the flash drive. So no, it will not work, you can't watch movies or even have files on the flash drive connect to the phone through the dock.

Yes, you can watch a movie, but the battery is not so good, and you will have problems to project files using a pen drive, just jpg files.
