Any chance it can play AVCHD movie files from an external hard drive?

Haven't tried this with the player. It works fine with some European music DVD'sthat I wanted to watch on the TV, and not on my PC.

It may, but the speed constraints of USB1.1 will mean the playback would be choppy, with audio and video out of sync. I can't even get a Divx encoded file to play from a USB drive without some amount of glitches.

Does anyone know if you can play avi files (divx, xvid) from a USB thumb drive plugged into the front? The description just lists photos for the USB drive.

This will work as long as the video files dont have DTS audio. You can plug an external hard drive into the usb port on the side.

Yes this is possible. I have connected my hard drive to wd router and is able to play the movies from my sony blu ray player and logitech revue. This is not certified dlna but it supports upnp which is the actual protocal behind DLNA. Please also remember that the files will play only if your tv/player supports the codecs

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.

Simple answer: No. The unit does not have 1) hard disk reading software/hardware (those are complex and built into computer operating systems) nor, 2) a movie decoder built into it. It will play a few audio formats (MP3, AAC, M4A), however, from thumb drives, but it does NOT play ANY VIDEO from sources connected to its USB ports.

Will the DV-970HD browse for and play a video_ts directory/vobs on a USB (FAT) hard drive... and support all menus?

I am not very technical, so I am going to try the flash disk, but the information booklet says you can use an external USB drive or hard drive in PVR file format.

I don't see why not. I haven't bought this one (yet), but I have a 512 MB Data Traveler that works fine for .avi, .wmv and .mov files.

I have very positive experiences from using GOM player in playing many different media formats. It automatically find codecs and everything. Perhaps you should give it a try for the new AVCHD format also.

Sean,I was wondering about playing back AVCHD files captured on the SDHC card via the PS3 and your post answered my question. Just want to say thank you. As for the PS3 being a versatile multimedia media, I do agree with your statement. Thanks again.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

If you can download it to your computer you should be able to. My concern would be how big the movie file is.

Sorry I am not able to answer your question. I use the HD Media Center almost exclusively for audio FLAC files and the SD card from my camera. I can tell it plays AVCHD.
