The movies need to be in Xvid format. There are many formats that can be stored in a AVI container. Most avi movies available for download are saved as x264, h264, or Xvid. Your other problem could be that the ED8850B doesn't support SDHC cards, only standard SD cards are supported. I use the USB input with a flash drive.

I really want to be able to add the thumbnail of my choice to my .avi files. One of the very first frames of the movies are usually shown and i would like to add an actually picture of the DVD so i know which movie it is by the picture. I am looking for a program similar to Audioshell, but thats works with aVI! please help!

This microSDHC card is just a storage device. It will happily accept any file formats you write to it. It is your player (cell phone or tablet) that needs to know how to decode the video file format and display it on the screen.

I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread. I can confirm that you can indeed play videos from your SD card without having to transfer the files over the tablet. And you don't need a third party transfer program. I use the default program...once the transfer program is open, simply selected the card and selected whatever media you want to play. I purchased a 16gb card for my tablet s and have loaded it with movies only, so I cant speak to the ability to play music files...but I would assume the same would apply. Hopefully with ICS just around the corner, it will fix all this. As for the tablet...absolutely love it! I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

I am not sure about dvd's from other countries. I do know that it plays alot of formats, but am not sure of the format other countries use. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

Interesting. Well I have several encoder programs on my computer so they will likely get a work out. Although truthfully, most of the time I simply burn a dvd of the avi I want to watch on my computer and then watch it through my dvd player. Thank you God for multiple HDMI ports on most HDTVs. If Western Digital would just improve their support of internet movie sites they could probably kill Roku. Instead they go the route of adding a hard drive to their media player. They're missing the direction of media players. They need to go wireless and support internet content sites. They have the file support down to a science now it's time to build on it. Interesting.

You may want to check the file on your DVD, it may not contain a self-play (auto play) file. you can click into it to check. it your pc does recognize the DVD, its the DVD inserted does the trick.

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.

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 does not come with software to play movies. Software to play blu-ray movies is not free, so you'll have to buy that elsewhere. There are several products on the market.Reading a data disc does not require software and that'll work through Windows/Linux/whatever without any additional software. So if you're using this for data discs then you'll be fine.(To be fair, VLC can play Blu-ray movies and is free, but it requires installing a 3rd party addon and if you have to ask the question then you probably won't be successful doing it. So just expect that you'll need to buy software to play movies.) It does not come with software to play movies. Software to play blu-ray movies is not free, so you'll have to buy that elsewhere.

AVI can be multiple codecs.. Anyone know what specific codec the videos must be encoded in?Thanks

The only other way to see what has been recorded is to put the SD in a digital camera and use the camera to see the video. I don't know if the camera format would be compatible with the video. There is a good chance it would be.

The 3DPlayer currently supports the following file formats. Video: wmv, avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, mkv, rmvb, rm and flv. Photo: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, and bmp . Newest version of VMP supports MPO and a registered user can upgrade directly from VMP. Once VMP is launched go to "About" and tap on "update". Notes on SmartCard and USB In addition to SDHC cards (32GB max, 4GB max file size), it reads SDXC (&gt;32GB, no file size limit) and exFAT/NTFS formatted cards, e.g. with Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro-SD card (exFAT), and 2GB card formatted with NTFS. Works well for large videos from Bluray-3D. NOTE: Very large 3D movie files placed in the card root may cause a crash so place them in a folder. They will however work either way in 2D. The USB port reads 128GB USB Flash pen using an adapter. I don't know about avchd but the player is continually being updated.

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key. The last time I tried, it did not appear to work, and I recall recreating the files using handbrake or something in different formats, and was never able to make it work. I think I was about to unplug everything else and retry it when I gave up and put it on disk and played it through the blu-ray player. This is the link for my particular tv , which displays a list of the supported video formats. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201104/20110427083150372/BN68-01691A-02Eng-110427.pdf I took a snap shot, but apparently can't paste or attach via this communication mode. ( sorry ) there were some avi modes listed. When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key.
