Sorry - I am not familiar with AVI file types. It works great with regular DVDs.

The file type I got needed to be opened in windows media player, VLC didn't take them which makes me think they would have to be converted before viewed on a Mac. I don't remember the file type but I don't think I got straight up mp4 as stated in the description.

Denis Villeneuve, The supported file extensions are: *.avi *.mkv *.asf *.wmv *.mp4 *.3gp *.vro *.mpg *.mpeg *.ts *.tp *.trp *.mov *.flv *.vob *.svi *.m2ts *.mts *.divx Page 661 of the owner's manual below will also list the supported audio codecs and resolutions for file formats: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201209/20120910094456985/[ENG_US]WEB-XTATSCE-1015-0907.pdf Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

I am not familiar with mkv files. It does stream m4v and mp4. A full specification sheet is here: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/mlw221_us.pdfAs far as battery life, I have not "run out" but it can easily cover a two hour featured film!

In theory, yes, you could, but I found two problems: only plays files in mp4 format, so you must convert any file to this;and that's the second problem, the conversion takes a loooong time, as a day per file. My advice, avoid this unit like the plague.

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

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

none that i know of; this item seems only to allow games and videos/movies in MP4 and maybe wmv. also pictures but won't except emulators or any apps i tried to load. U can get free games from CoolRoms.com u might have to change some to bin (binary format) Item does only what is advertised(MAYBE!) buyer beware!

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.

I don't know about the MP4 compatability; but I would not recommend this blu-ray disc player. It is unbelievably slow to perform any commands - open, load, close, turn off, etc.

.TS or MPEG 2 file. The files are very large and I found it makes little sense trying convert them to another format to watch on another video player.

According to Vizio support AVI and MP4 are supported (I have not confirmed this). I have also been able to play mpeg2 files.

Yes, you can play MKV video larger than 4GBs if the USB stick is formatted as NTFS. If the USB drive is formatted as FAT32, you have a 4GB limitation. If you burn to disc, then there seems to be about a 2GB limitation.It does play PAL if it is a region free disc. I tried to play a Region 2 disc and it didn't recognize it.

I haven't used this feature much, but it has played an MKV file via a thumb drive on the USB port. I don't remember which audio/video codecs that MKV used. The Samsung page on it says that it plays "MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX HD, AVCHD, MKV, WMV" formats. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/blu-ray-dvd/BD-F5100/ZA-specs Hope that helps, -Dan

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.
