Try VLC, open source player. Most everything plays. No extra codecs necessary. Get the Audiodock for Duo; hear it better.

Get VLC video player from VideoLan. You don't really need codecs with it, though yes, the Duo is a regular computer and will work with additional codec packs.

Yes, it's a basic windows OS, so anything you can do with windows, you can do on this.

Yes. Video can be played back on all typical video players on Mac or PC. the videos are standard video files.

Yes to both questions, John. The currently installed codecs can't read all popular formats, but for those that work, you can copy the movies to a USB drive and play them from that attached device. You can also install Samsung's DLNA server software on your home computer and start serving files from your My Documents almost immediately. Or you can use a DLNA-supported NAS device and read your files from that device. I am hoping that the codecs and firmware will be updated often to bring the capabilities more up to par with many other popular formats. I'm having so-so success across my various stored formats, but VOBs (DVD build files) and avi files seem to play okay. My mp4 files generated by Handbrake are not working out as I had hoped, but the firmware on my NAS device apparently is part of that problem. This is emerging technology and it pays to keep all software and firmware up to date to keep abreast of updated capabilities. The information is scattered widely, so keep searching often as well.

Yes, but they must be done from a PC, with player connected. From all that I read, No play list can be created directly from the player.

I'm not certain. I would download the converter from their website. If the converter works I assume it'll play.

Yes. It will play ripped ISO files and VOB files (in a folder), including DVD menu and all features.

This worked for me. Can you tell me what file types I should load if I want to play my own videos? Thanks!

Unfortunately it does not. I've tried to find how to download it and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. When I checked their website some months ago about this problem the answer was it wasn't supported. Having bought this player and had it now for over a year, I would definitely buy something else if I had the chance to do it over again.

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

I use Media Monkey. It's free for the base version and pretty cheap to go to the full version.

The quick answer I would offer is to install the VLC video player software. (search the internet for vlc or videolan.org) It is free and contains many plugins or codecs Windows needs to play different video file formats. However, your professor may be using proprietary software so step one should be to check with your professor and/or the school's IT department to see if there is any special software you need to install. If they are of no help then VLC is your best bet.

no the receiver will not directly play a video file be nice if of could but the bean counters and lawyers has issues if copywrights. it will pass through most video created by a variety of sources such as comptuer tablet dvd ect. you could add unit to a network which should allow you the ability to play those files from several different sources

I am not going to use a 3rd party player. If something doesn't play in WMP by default, I don't want it.In 20 years from now I am not going to go searching for some weird player / codec.

Depends, most cannot. These players are not very sophisticated. Go to a "pad" or netbook if want games as well as music, video, pictures, ebooks plus you can use the internet as well, r00t
