Have had this Acer Iconia A1 810 For several months and still don't know how to watch a movie on it. It says you can get youtube movies, but I've yet

you need to download the you tube app from google play store or Amazon. I watch movies on mine all the time.

Mine came with the YouTube app. If you haven't seen it, tap your "App" (black circle with white dots) icon. App icons are shown in alphabetical order. Slide the screen to the left and you should see it towards the bottom of your screen. If it is not there, go to Play Store and do a search for it. Hope this helps.

You have to go to the playstore and download the youtube app if its not on there already

I've watched movies rented via Google Play and Amazon Prime, but not YouTube.

The only way you would be able to watch Arabic movies is if there was an android app in the marketplace which you would be able to install onto your homescreen on this box. I'm pretty sure that there are no Arabic movie apps in the android playstore, only African and American movie apps. You would however be able to watch arabic based material via youtube app if you downloaded/installed it on this box.

I do not recommend purchasing this brand even if it has google play. I returned mine and replaced with a refurbished acer iconia A200 10.1" android with 16 GB for $189.99 from ebay. So far, so good with acer

You can configure the LCD keys to do anything or display anything. Out of the game you could have one that has the Youtube icon that takes you to the Youtube site when you press it. Same for the track panel.

I got the computer for my mom, and she does not use it for movies, so I can't help you. Sorry!

This is one of those times that you have to take the word of the manufacturer literally. The comment "please wait a few moments while this page loads" require you to wait for quite a while. You will not be able to stream any decent videos on this tablet. It is soley for connection to the vtech apps and page which is not necessarily a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

I want to watch videos on mine, too, so I had the same question. I found a discussion on http: / / tinyurl . com / 6zzv6y (sorry for the weird link, when I tried it before, Amazon wouldn't let me post it.) Apparently, out-of-the-box, videos stutter a little but with some tweaking, it can be smoothed out but maybe not perfectly.

It works fine. I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders. I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app. I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play. I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

I can't answer the first question since I don't have the Chromecast gadget, but, according to the adds, it should work if your tv has the hdmi input. And yes you can watch movies from a tbumb drive. Acer a200 performs well. Good luck. Bob H

You can absolutely watch Netflix and Youtube videos on this tablet. This is our dual core higher end tablet and the video quality should be excellent with no lag.

There are so many possibilities... do u have a good fast WiFi connection?.. is flash player installed?... have you got an account with amazon apps and allowed all the updates for YouTube?... have you read your user manual?...this tablet has about half GB of ram (memory) and you can't have too many apps running at the same time and expect it to do YouTube too. Did it ever play videos before?

Thanks for your feedback. One thing that occurs to me is that my Acer delivers what is needed to simply play back my Netflix Instantwatch with the original 1mb. I think I will keep it there. It's all I really use it for, with exception of occassional hotel stays to check email.

Heres the problem. The unit has limited space which prevents you from viewing a lot of videos. You have to frequently clean the cache. I don't like the Google play verison of Youtube so I use Chrome to watch youtube content. I also watch MLBTV with Chrome. It works but Vizio and Google need to tweak the device's software.

My acer aspire model AOA 150 1178 came with windows 8.1 For making movies I searched and found Microsoft movie maker. It did not came pre-installed, but available for free download from Microsoft. But burning CD is a problem. First this laptop does not come with DVD player. You need to buy external DVD player. Second, software which was on Win 7 is gone. For win 8.1 you need to buy something like Nero.

Sorry, no. You can probably get chromecast in the play store.However, I can no longer recommend Acer products. My A500 died after just two years, and since it's past warranty, Acer won't even talk to me. ...or anyone else.Here's a list of other people with the same trouble http://community.acer.com/t5/Tablets/Iconia-A500-frozen-at-Acer-logo-boot-screen/td-p/7171If you have trouble with the link, just go to the Acer FAQ page and look up Iconia A500 frozen at Acer logo boot screen. You will be amazed at how common the problem is.
