can it play mp4s burned to a disk?

Hi, mp4 is one of the playable video file for this Sony Blu-ray player. Playable disc are blu-ray, DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-R, +R, -RW, +RW) and CD (music CD, CD-ROM, CD-R, -RW). It may or may not play mp4 from a burned disc since it depends on the encoding, or recording of the file format, condition and type of disc used. Hope this helps. -Ely

You would have to convert the video to an appropriate format to be written to a standard DVD. They won't "play" if simply burned to a DVD. There are many freeware applications out there that should be able to do this.

I don't know. I never tried this. You can probably play the disk in a laptop player. gm

I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I've never tried playing an MP4 file on that player. I would assume it will since most do, but I've never tried so can't confirm it. So sorry I wasn't more help.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.

Both of mine burned out in less than 90 days, don't bother. I'm not sure on the mp4s

I just tried both avi and mp4 from a flash drive and both were detected but did not play. Bummer

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

Yes. Supported disk formats are: BD, BD-R,BD-RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-VIDEO, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW. Video Formats: H-264, VC1, MPEG 1/2/4. Audio formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, MP3. Photo Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. I just quoted the specs in the manual; it is a very versatile player. But I believe I read a review somewhere stating there was an old and a new VCD format; this unit will play the new VCD format but perhaps it may not play the old VCD format.

NO. As a matter of fact, the "advanced software" is so bad it won't allow you to even play mp4 files. at all

I've not tried to play videos or music from the internal memory, however, the manual says you can. Returned product, received a replacement, and the battery back up still doesn't work.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

The short answer is no. The longer answer is this frame (quoting from the manual) "only supports JPEG and Motion JPEG files taken from a digital camera". That means most video formats, especially high definition formats, would not play unless converted to Motion JPEG. It displays JPEG photos beautifully but is not the right choice for video.

The USB and the SD card drive is for pictures and music only. You cannot play your mp4 or any other video format on the system. I have to return mine back because it won't play any other video format.
