does this play via the usb and burned data disc: avi, xvid, divx, mp4,mkv, mp3 etc? does the dvd, blu rays run smoothly? netflix, hulu plus?

Yes, it reads a DVDRW data disc just fine with .mp4 files, however if they are high-def files, it hick-ups periodically, due to the transfer rate, these should be on a blu-ray, but I don't have a BD burner yet. Haven't tried the USB yet, but it should read it also. Blu-rays are flawless, netflix is too, but shearching from the tv menu is lame, better to "pair" with your laptop, etc, and search from it, while playing through the tv.

Yes to all. See my other answers. I subscribe to Netflix and have not had any issues. But typically, my TV and my AppleTV box can all stream Netflix so I usually do not turn my Blu-ray on for Netflix although it does stream it with no problems.

Can't speak to the technical, but it plays smoothly in BR and subscription services. Nice unit; sure you will be satisfied if not very pleased.

Do the specs of the Blu-ray match the specs of the burner/player?Is this is bought movie ; does it work with other Blu-ray movies?

Yes, I have used DVD and Blu-ray ISOs. I also saw some stuttering using wireless but I connected a network cable to it and it not streams flawlessly. To stream Blu-ray you will have to either copy it locally to an attached hard drive or have a wired network connection.

It will play most all AVI files from either disc or USB drive. You can even plug in 2 USB drives and pick between them from the on screen display. I have found the BDP-80 to be my best player when it comes to DivX and Xvid formats. The FF is very smooth and playback is very snappy, plus load times are fast as well. Except for HD DVD discs, this thing can play every format I own. I don't think you will be disappointed with it.

I suppose you arent being funny because there is a fairly good description on amazon It plays blu ray discs besides DVDs and also media files stored on a USB drive such as mp3, mp4, wmv, avi & jpgs.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

That is how I burn MKV to a DVD-R disc--as a DATA disc. Then when it comes up, I select it and it plays, unless it happens to be something the LG doesn't like. There are a few videos in MKV containers it will not play on disc but will play on a USB stick.

Works very well for me. I have tried mkv, avi, and mp4 with no problems at all. Only issue I have is if it is a blu-ray "backup" it will not play that. Any other "backup" from standard dvd's plays perfectly. I have been very pleased with the quality of this device in all aspects other than the blu-ray backups. Hope this helps.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want) A better question is what format will it not play.

It plays everything exactly like a DVD. I have all the DVD menu and bonus features of my movies from the portable hard drive. I asked the same thing before I got it.

It works fine.I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders.I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app.I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play.I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

There no disc drive at all, so no it does not play blu-ray. I have an external DVD-RW drive that I use if I need to burn a disc.

It does play .avi and XviD, but not DivX. And the type of codec the file was created with can effect the video. I'd say that 80% of the avis and mpegs I've loaded work properly. Though I have seen one file not play sound, a couple files loose sync between sound and video and sometimes a file just won't play. These specific problems always happen with the specific file. Wolverine Data's website recommends (and sells I think) a software app for turning your DVDs into files that work flawlessly with the ESP

I'm sorry, I have no idea. The only thing I play on mine are standard DVDs, mostly from Netflix.
