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.

It supports most all of them EXCEPT WMV. For some reason they excluded Windows Media Player files from their list. I have to convert My WMV videos into AVI or something. Other than that it has been a great little DVR, and digital converter (my original need for it), for the money.

As far as I know, the VGA interface is video only so the answer is most probably NO as VG doesn't support audio.

(For future purchasers) Yes, it allows AVI, MP4 and MKV (but MKV can only be played if it's renamed to MP4,oddly enough).

Yes it can. It will play movies and videos right from your stick or usb hard drive. Plays formats like avi,mp4,dvix,xvid,matroksa,wmv,flv and much more.

No, not on this model..don't know about later versions. This one does play video and displays photos.

Yes it does. You might want to use SD/USB instead though, easier n larger space. Plays movie files too, mp4, avi, etc.

why doesn't it read the VAG-COM or VCDS COMPorts and doesn't work with either?

No Im afraid it doesnt Convert Video Formats. Its Playback Not Editing Software.

No, it doesn't. The Vado uses h.264 for video encoding, and AAC for audio encoding, both of which are supported by OS X, QuickTime, and iMovie.

It does have the native ability to play DVDs, but I'm not sure about taking from or sending to external video. Mine is not cabled to be able to do such, but there might be an additional input/output that I'm not aware of.

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

Honestly, I've not been able to get it to play any of the video formats -- and I've tried them all. Effectively, I pretty much use it just for music.

No, almost no media players could fully support BD menu. HD680 can well support BD ISO or BDMV. It can play the movie, but no menu.

Yes you can, I guess there are lots of apps which are able to do this, but I have found NPlayer to do this perfectly. The beauty of this player is that it supports almost all video formats. A definite buy

Yes it plays BOTH VCR's and DVD's. As for DVD's, it will play burned discs and FOREIGN DVD;s with a different region code. I was very happy about it.

It plays mp4 format per instruction manual. Our Viewsonic, however, does not...that aspect may be defective
