Hi Claire. YES YOU CAN! But you'll need an adapter to plug your USB into the micro usb port. I got a couple on ebay for about 4 bucks.

No there is not a regular USB port on the tablet. The only way I know to do that is to purchase a converter to use with the micro USB slot offering the regular USB port. The converters sell pretty inexpensively and are useful for other things too...

Yes, but you may find it easier to use the internal microSD slot with a 32 GB or 64 GB card. If you want to use a USB stick you will need an OTG cable to adapt the standard USB connector to the micro USB used to charge the unit. The files will need to be MP4 or FLV format when ripped.

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!! Hi Claire, yes you definitely can.

You will need a potable cd drive. I have a potable cd drive to watch my movies. You could buy one for like $20-50 depending on the brand on amazon.

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.

No, DVDs have to be structured according to spec and contain only MP2 video with AC23, DTS, or MPEG audio. However, you can play your AVI files via the USB port, using a thumb drive. By the way, my Phillips DVD player failed the other day and I'm no longer recommending this brand.

You can if you have the game on some other media, or if you plug in a DVD drive accessory to the unit.USB sticks work well for installing programs that need to be done, but when you dont have a disk and a dvd reader/writer to do it.Hope that is helpful. The machine is capable of loading SIM software, (the game, sims...) no problem and running them also.

I use my external USB drive to download and watch movies. Works great and I have a Macbook Pro.

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV. I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

Yep, burned dvds work and also flash drives work as well with this thing. :)

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones. 2) Yes. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

Not only that, but unfortunately the license to play back DVDs costs $$$ which Google didn't want to pay, so even if you added a DVD player via USB port, it could not play DVDs. Google (disclosure: my employer) is trying to solve this with the free and open VP8 and VP9 codecs for video files. DVDs and Blu-Ray Players add a lot of licensing costs to laptops.

You could do this on this device. Just keep in mind that downloading movies is a violation of law . If you still do this, make sure your TV has a compatible USB port on it somewhere, and refer to your user manual on how to connect to the USB device.

Yes. The remote is virtually the same as a regular DVD remote and USB acts on the same buttons.

I don't believe you can watch movies right from the Flashdrive. You can hook other peripherals up to the projector such as a computer or laptop and play the movies from there. This is a great projector and we love the image it provides on our 110" screen in the media room.

It will only play from a USB drive type device but not a USB hard drive. Would not recommend it for watching movies.

I would guess no. Your tv would need software to play movies. So unless your tv explicitly states in the manual that it has the software to recognize and play dvd and bd's from usb, I would say no.

No but you can plug a USB drive in to it and watch your movies and listen to music
