Received my new Orei BDP-M2 today. Tried my first MKV file and it would not play it. It said "File Not Supported". But I had 2 other AVI files which played just fine. Why would this be, if the specs says it supports MKV files? The file extension was...

I'm sorry but I can't assist you with this issue, since I don't use AVI files. We bought it because it played 3-D and all region DVD's. The problem we had was that the sound gave out on it after 6 months. I learned its better to pay a little more and get something that's more reliable. We threw ours out. We paid $135.00 for a new one at Best Buy(brand was LG), and bought a Best Buy warranty for $25.00. It doesn't play all-region DVD's, but we already have several all-region players. There haven't been any problems. If we did have the problems you're having, we'd be able to go to Best Buy and get some answers. I understand Orei doesn't have the best customer service-something to think about when buying reliable appliances. I still like buying appliances on line, but I stick to reliable brands. We bought 2 Vizio television sets from Amazon, and haven't had a whisper of a problem with either. I'm sorry to hear about your problems with your Orei. Hopefully, you won't have any more problems. Have a nice day. Thank you! Linda

It does play .avi and XviD, but not DivX. And the type of codec the file was created with can effect the video. I'd say that 80% of the avis and mpegs I've loaded work properly. Though I have seen one file not play sound, a couple files loose sync between sound and video and sometimes a file just won't play. These specific problems always happen with the specific file. Wolverine Data's website recommends (and sells I think) a software app for turning your DVDs into files that work flawlessly with the ESP

I found some information today in the AVS forum on this topic and posted it here... Hi Guys, I just tried the following and it worked very fast: Nero Vision 5 (Part of Nero 8) Make DVD &gt; AVCHD Add Video Files Next Menus to use: Do not create menus Next Next - Audio Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % - Video Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % Write to Hard Disk folder This creates the same structure as the camera in a BDMV folder. Replace the BDMV folder on the SD card with this one and the camera plays it. To follow up on this, if you add clips back to the card/camera using the foregoing method, the clips DO show up in the thumbnails and you CAN take new video and the new video will just be added as separate clips/thumbnails. It works GREAT! Although the above instructions are for Nero and I've only tried it in Nero, I would imagine it *should* work with any video editor that allows you to create an AVCHD DVD without menus by saving the output file to the pc rather than to a disk and then just moving the resulting BDMV folder to the card/camera.

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

Seems like only the MOV format is supported. The manual only references MOV file extensions and there is no option to change movie formats.

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)

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.

I looked all through the manual and the manual is very clear that it does not support PAL in the DVD portion of the device -- only NTSC. I could find no words or mention about PAL in the VCR portion, but am convinced that it does not support PAL. There are no options to select PAL or NTSC, so that pretty well tells the story. Sorry.

Yes. I just checked it out with a MKV file I had. I did not know this so thank you for your question.

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

I order for one of my friend..he toldthat this device will not support MP4 file We should not rename the file from MP4 to AVI. We should convert the file from MP4 to AVI..Many converters are available online.

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

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

Roku 2 XS most certainly does support MKV and MP4. The down side is that there's currently a bug (or oversight) that makes it display all your videos in date order instead of alphabetical order.
