Has anyone tried to play MP4 movies via an SD card and did it work?

Hi, Both is possible: Mini US via OTG Cable plays movies from stick or HDD, SD card up to 64 GB also plays movies, regards Peter

All I can say is that I have been able to play .mp4 720p files without any problem. I don't know what other formats will work.

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

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'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

I had no problems transferring the video files from Micro SD card to my Imac and playing them ..works just fine however I did no install the IN software to my Imac - I just loaded the videos

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

I have the XDS and I can tell you that even for the supported file types it only works about 30% of the time and will almost certainly require re-encoding to work. It only supports a very limited range of settings and even people with a decent knowledge of video encoding have trouble getting videos to work.

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.

You can most definitely play movies on it, I convert everything into .avi files though and noticed that it cannot take full HD, like the very large resolutions even if I thought it would but the lower ones like 480 it can take. But that wasn't a problem for me, there's a free software online you can reduce the size of the movies with. I haven't tried mp4 but the box says it would play. Good luck!

I should work fine if you use the SD card after creating you're slideshow on computer making it an executable file.. I played a movie using mine in this way. The clarity isn't the best..and keep in mind this little devices bulbs runs hot. I couldn't initialize the USB input to function with my PC however.

I successfully use a SD card. Never tried anything else. Don't see how you could. Can you transfer your MP3/4 files to an SD card?

I never use the format MP4. I just use to play the BD and standard DVD. I wish I could help you more.

I have only played regular movies successfully ..it would not play DVDs which I converted from tape to DVD.. Vod or mpg format

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.
