as long as the format of the movie you put on the flash drive is compatible with the android device, yes. This device is only a read/write device for the types of flash drives you put into it. It in itself does not have any storage capability, you must have a card to put into it. So if you can copy the video file from your laptop on to a card in this device, then you can then copy the file from the card to your tablet.

Yes, I have used it transfer movie files to micro SD cards and play them on android tablet and cell phone as long as the movie format is supported by the app installed.

Yes you can. I just tried doing that and I was able to record video and take a photo while I was plugged into USB port.

I believe that you can record anything you wish on to a compatible drive (SD card or USB flash drive) and the unit will play it.

There is software available from Pogoplug that you can download that lets you see the attached drive(s) on your network. All you would have to do on your tablet is to browse that drive and pick your movie and play it directly. You need to make sure your tablet's video player has the proper codec and supports the resolution of the video i.e. you cant play 1080p movie if your device only supports 720p etc.

I used my video recording app. It's not an app specific device so anything that takes video will work with it.

You have to find out if it has a drm protection. If it does not then yes you can record through the hdmi cord.

Not directly as live view because the tablet's HDMI port is only an output not a live input. I suggest recording your footage and transfer from your camera to your tablet. You can watch the footage in 3D after the fact.

Is right, you can play any FullHD video from your Laptop, even you can play too from Android phone if it supports Miracast or WIDI.

You can use a USB to mini USB to downlaod pictures from a phone to a laptop. The only problem is that this product is a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, which is used and only can be used to display your tablets screen onto other screens with a HDMI port.

There are several free apps for that; it depends on if you want the Mini-PC to do everything or if you capture on a PC and then playback on the mini. Playback works (OK) but to do the whole thing is tricky, but can be done with a high speed enough connection, USB 2.0 may not cut it.The Mini-PC is not very stable from a wireless point of view it lost the signal many times while I was trying to stream from a local NAS box via wireless. For the current price, I recommend a ROKU for steaming and a custom (software) Rasberry Pi for the capture device.Good luck!

I doubt that a tablet would try to convert the file formats, but it could if it doesn't recognize the RAW formats. Do a google search for your tablet model and see if anyone else has ever tried this. If you can't find anything, I would just give this cable a try. What's the worst that could happen?Paul

Yes. To voice recordings. As far as using an external micro sd card for extra storage or video watching with no laptop conversion to avi, just straight in download, no success. Yet.

Your tablet will probably support it after you get an update to Android 4.2 or above. Screencasting (miracast) is not natively supported on lower versions of Android.

It wouldn't matter what videos it plays...it isn't worth buying. It is junk and tablet express is a terrible company. This tablet quit working after only 3 months and they refused to do anything. Don't waste your money on this tablet or ANY tablet sold by tablet express.

You can plug a MicroSD card into it and play a video that way. But just so you know these Ematic Genensis are not touch screen tablets. These are resistive touch screens made of plastic and not glass so you have to press down with pressure in order to get a response. I was not very happy with these tablets as I was expecting something similiar to an actual android or apple tablet.

As long as you have WiFi, it should connect. Whether it will also be able to mirror your tablet's screen, I don't know. It was supposed to be able to mirror my phone and it never worked. If all you want to do is wirelessly show saved media (photos, music, personal videos you recorded) on a TV, it should work fine.
