What types of video file formats can be played from a USB flash drive?

MPG, MP4, AVI and WMVIt is really plug and play. You have to use the V button on the remote then scroll over to Multimedia, click and you will see the Flash Drive. After clicking on it you have to answer the question Photos, videos or music and you can then go to the drive and move through folders if any. I have some 40 year old Super 8 video's that I converted to MPG's 25 years ago and they play although the quality is not that great but most everything else looks great. I have the 55" model.

Lee: I have not had that much success using a USB Flash drive on my Vizio 50" so I use my Sony 3D/BluRay, but it does not seem to like some MK4 videos. Therefore, I normally connect my laptop to the Vizio and play videos off the laptop through the HDMI port and using DVD13 or TMT6 software. Hope that information helps. Boyd

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

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 tried the USB with videos I downloaded from Youtube,I feel it would work fine with Itunes ones,and if not,they can always be converted to a different format.

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

I'll answer this question as an IT professional. The device "should" support pretty much any size flash or hard drive on the market. The caveat will be that it only recognizes FAT32 formatted files. Which means that files larger than 4GB will not be recognized. So, say you have an 8GB MKV movie on your flash drive, the device will not even see it. Your best bet is to look for MP4 or M2TS formatted videos, since users of these file formats will typically keep them at 3.99GB or less. You do lose a bit of quality, but for most people it is hardly noticeable.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I am not very technical, so I am going to try the flash disk, but the information booklet says you can use an external USB drive or hard drive in PVR file format.

The video file is in .mov (QuickTime) format. Please turn on the camera before connecting the usb cable. Then the camera is mounted as a removable disk. Here is a beta version of the player software: https://www.ojocam.com/content/ojocam_player_0318_beta.zip Thank you.

I have tried to play all types of vides formats through my LG TVs and dvd player usb ports but they will cannot recognise any files on this drive. What am I doing wrong here? I have formatted the device, there is no software installed on it. Playback works fine on my laptop and galaxy tab. :-(

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

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.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.
