Can you watch movies using USB Flashdrive?

Yes you can. I was looking at a $6k projector and decided I would try this and at the very worst use this outside if I did not like it. I love this projector.

No. You can not watch videos as it does not have inbuilt media player. Though it has picture viewers and you can see images, movies can't. You will have to use external bluray or media player to watch movies.

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.

We tried to play an mp4 off a flash drive and though it would play on a computer, it would not play off of this projector. I'm not sure if it just doesn't read .mp4 format, or what. Other than that, this machine has an incredible picture, good sound, easy to use and set up.

I was not able to. I had to watch via another device to read the data off the stick.

Seems to work pretty well... I have used both USB flash drives and USB HDD with various movie formats (AVI, MP4, H264, etc.)

Sorry, I never tried it. Don't have a movie on a flash drive to test that out.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

Yes! But, I wouldn't perform this task, due to the size of some movie files. Most of the time, I would drag the clip on to my desk top and play the media. Some times the stream of data coming from your flash drive, may be too slow. This will sometimes cause pauses, while watching your movie, to refresh the buffer.

You will need a potable cd drive. I have a potable cd drive to watch my movies. You could buy one for like $20-50 depending on the brand on amazon.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

I am sorry, I've never done that...in fact..I didn't even know it had a USB lol I bought it cause I had accidentally purchased some dvds from the wrong region, still my primary dvd player though, GREAT picture quality with the HDMI up conversion...

Actually I can copy something to a disk, but I haven't tried to watch movies on this drive. The only thing is sometimes it just can be recognized by my laptop. And I have to try several times to make it to be recognized.

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

Yes,it can read external usb hard disk, we have tested with the 1TB seagate hard disk, and also can play videos on disk directly. also it support RMVB, you can use "MX PLAYER" to play the RMVB video.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

I remember looking it up on there website on the manual. I used freemake hand brake is great too. The screen quality isn't that great but it does play files off a flash drive

I use my external USB drive to download and watch movies. Works great and I have a Macbook Pro.

No you can't, but you can plug a roku into the HDMI and plug the USB drive into it and watch it that way

Yes, but you need to use a computer. You can not just plug a flash drive into the projector. If it will play on a computer, it can be projected.
