Will this play movies from a USB drive or Flash drive?

I don't know, but I would say probably not. The amazon site says "USB Plug `n Play instant setup - instantly projects audio and video from a PC or Mac via a USB connection. PC-free slide shows - plug your USB memory device into the USB port and let the show begin". If you want to play video, you have to play from PC or Apple device. I played movies from my iPhone 4 (when I bought the device a couple of years ago) and the video worked fine. However - I ended up sending mine back. The built-in speakers are not very powerful, and there is NO audio out port, so you cannot add external speakers to get a better sound.Plus, read the comment boards carefully. Some comments refer to crappy iPhone 5 support etc. Good luck! I don't know, but I would say probably not.

No. You will have to use a computer and either stream from the Internet or use built-in DVD drive. This also has an iPod/iPhone 30 pin connector and stream from there. Hope that helps.

The usb slot is only for connecting usb flash drives to the unit. If the USB flash drive has media that can be read; i.e., a standard dvd structure, mpeg4s, mp3s, cds, or jpegs then the unit will play the media. Here is a link to the user's manual for more information: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/11333ba7d45d5f0d5256a1e945fa457b

USB flash yes, I haven't tried all file types but definitely mp4 and avi. Not sure what you mean by PC input. It will take an HDMI output from a PC. Most newer computers have HDMI outputs.

I bought 2 from a car stereo store and tried to play videos from both. When it didn't work I did some research and learned they will only show pictures from the SD and USB. huge bummer. manual says: USB supports: MP3 and JPEG files only and will NOT support: BMP, M4P, WAV, ASF, H.264, DivX, WMA.

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

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.

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

I recommend using a playstation 3 for that. It'll play movies from usb stick or sd, pro duo memory cards. I also use mine for blueray and dvds.

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

None. Its an interesting question though. Considering you cannot playback movies on the device directly, unless you stored audio files there isn't a need for one.

It plays DVDs (not blueray) and avi movies saved to your usb drive. According to the manual it will convert the songs on a music CD to music files on your usb drive but I haven't tried it. Has output to your TV for HDMI and composite video.

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 it does play a usb flash drive, it starts at the beginning of the song that you left it on...

I don't believe you can watch movies right from the Flashdrive. You can hook other peripherals up to the projector such as a computer or laptop and play the movies from there. This is a great projector and we love the image it provides on our 110" screen in the media room.
