Does this play mp4 easily?

Sorry Nathan, I never had a chance to try it. The player died after a few hours out of the box. I wouldn't recommend this player.

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

Okay, Paul says that it does, but my product (which Is the black 9.5 inch NS969B) did not play any type of video file, even .avi.

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!

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

Yes. It's completely portable and has served me well for a year so far without an issue. Plays only AVI file through either a jump drive or SD card. No mp4. Like advertised but it's no big deal.

It's easy to download but the videos are not real player compatilbes with real player.

Yes I have played 1080p mkv and mp4 off external drive with minimum lock ups. Would recommend leaving the processing for another computer and load Plex home theatre on this guy for streaming.

It is not a really good video player since its ram is limited. However, it is a good music player.

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 have played MP4 files on it but not divix.The one I received was a return so I have had problems with it.... I personally do not recommend it unless you really need it for a specific reason. Your better off using a laptop or save up and get a cheap netbook with hdmi out

Both of mine burned out in less than 90 days, don't bother. I'm not sure on the mp4s

it plays everything more formats than any player i have ever had. AVI XVID DIVx these files play seamlessly from the USB drive cant wait to try my MASS USB drive (I have a 300 GB)... pictures are slow it doesnt do jpeg's imo. it is so slow i wouldnt use it for that. but every other feature works great. only upscales if you are able to use the HDMI

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.

So glad you asked! No, it does not play Mp 3. I found out when received, but for me it was ok.

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.

Rick: the device has a USB port (i just checked my unit), and if you search online for the model number, you'll see the marketing specs under the manual link. It says it supports MP4.... Check it out, and see what you think.

it only plays Windows media player files and avi, most of my downloads like Mp4 don't play on it but play with VLC on my computer.

Yes, it will play mp4s, flvs for video and windows formatted music (mp3, I think)
