Which formats can it play reasonably well?

It plays only DVD format (I think they call it VR mode), not any other video. It plays MP3 music and displays JPEG. That's it.

It is a full version, however it is a few versions older than the current version. Yes, I can play Blu-ray discs correctly.

So my non-hd movies from other regions would be able to play on this player in the upconversions with no problem? Thanks for the info.

Yes, it will play it at high settings reasonably (averaging over 30 FPS), but will not play well at the max/ultra settings.

I play mine on a sony Blu-ray/DVD player. It plays both DVDs and Blu-ray discs and have had no problems.

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.

I believe that is just a audio format it will play fine Google shoes it as that. Did you read that somewhere

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

We have used it as you are stating and it does play the major formats .avi .mp4. .mvk had some issues. I love vlc and use it as a default player on my Mac which I have a hdmi cable direct to tv. .mvk doesn't allow for subtitle selection as it's intended.

I really hope this question and the two answers below are joking/trolling. This thing would never play any modern title with reasonable performance and simply is only useful for outputting video to monitors, not running anything graphically intensive.

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.

I dont use Real Player so dont know about compatiblity, but since this only work with one type of video format it kinda sucks with that, but once you find a way to convert formats the video is clear and sound is like listening to the music. This is still a great item for its price.

FYI, I found out VLC alone will not playback 1080p, at least not without your occasional skipping and stuttering. Install k-lite codecs and run the movies using Windows Media Player classic. It runs like a champ.

I bought this player for the region-free playback, and it does that straight out of the box. It has HDMI connection for up scaling. I can't think of any cons, I'm happy with it overall.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

Yes, though to play consumer blurays, you may need a player with the appropriate codecs.

It is described as being able to. It will play ones from Great Britian which is why I bought it. I have not had occasion to travel to other parts of the world.
