I am not sure about the video format. I bought this for a Christmas present. It has already quit working.

I am sorry those file formats are not supported by the player. In order to get the files to work you will have to recode them based on the instructions provided here:http://content.miccastore.com/node/189I apologize for the inconvenience.Manny

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

It's a very picky player. Sometimes it does but most of the time it doesn't, and I'm not sure what the encoding requirements are to make it one of those special mp4's that will work. This player here Androset 1080P-TVBOX 1080p HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV 50 (Black 1080p tv box) will though. I have both of these players and the URL I pasted is a far better player in my opinion.

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

This box is ok for what it is. It should play ur regular dixv files ok and most mp4 files. I can't remember if it plays HDTV files or not. I use a different type system now that also streams movies from netflex and other providers. My streaming box was purchased at best buy and also plays all my files as well as HDTV files. I like it a lot better than the regular media player your asking about. Take care and hope you find what ur searching for.

No new info. I purchased the Sony, but I cannot find how to define the file format. however, hi def looks reasonable on 50" plasma. Haven't really played with it much. no video LED lamp, and won't play SD directly in a Panasonic TV. Otherwise, small and light.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

We use AVI format, our MP4 movies would not play. We love ours and use them on long road trips!

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

Yes it will play mp4 and dvix bought one for my coworker and have yet to run across a file it won't play. I personally own a micca player with dual usb with two 2tb harddrives. The menu on the micca is alot cleaner and smooth. Plus I likethe remote better. But for price this is a ddecent unit. Does all that it should plus.

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!
