Yep, it will allow you to watch your movies on your laptop with some exceptions. It doesn't have the codecs to allow you to watch amazon downloaded codecs for example. However, if it is just a straight avi or mp4, it will allow you to stream from your shared file folders or windows libraries.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

Not sure if you can play the USB audio, I tried and couldn't "find" the file to play it after I plugged it in. You may be able to play the disc, I've never tried that option, but you won't have the words on the screen. I also use mine as my DVD player for movies, etc when not using for karaoke

AJ ... the usb stick adds memory to the player which helps load certain BD discs. U can not record to it. U may be able to see photos on it, depending on the type of files U have. That kind of stuff works very well on a computer of course. I don't watch movies on a computer and I don't do internet stuff with a video player.

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

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.

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.

From what I have seen.. it really doesnt need anything more than a working drive..if you could either remove the laptop drive or be able to access it .. from another source.. just like dumping to a USB.. It would seem to work.. yes. The device is very very simple to operate and from the source it walks you through the download.

Do you think that I should try and use the USB jumpdrive instead of the iso image on the disc. And again has anyone had problem with Netflix disc. The disc I bought work fineThanks

You can watch the videos on your CPU you just need to open the file and view it in windows. This is an easy process just pull the memory stick out of the unit and plug and play with your laptop. The instructions are not that helpful you can figure out how the unit works by using the menu system on the screen. Take care.

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

Yep. It's designed for that. I didn't do it personally but I put recording from my computer to play on the device and it works. I'm pretty sure it saves the same format file so you can watch your saved files on your laptop.

Sorry, I never tried it. Don't have a movie on a flash drive to test that out.

No. It is an ultrabook. You will have to use an external USB dvd drive to play movies from your DVD/CD-ROM.

Yes! But, I wouldn't perform this task, due to the size of some movie files. Most of the time, I would drag the clip on to my desk top and play the media. Some times the stream of data coming from your flash drive, may be too slow. This will sometimes cause pauses, while watching your movie, to refresh the buffer.
