Please let me know why an mp4 video from a USB would only play audio. Choosing DVD would not work.

Sorry, cannot help. I returned this item as unacceptable very soon after receiving it.

First, I do not think that the VOB files of a DVD format will play from a USB drivethru a DVD player. But I do use software to convert some DVD VOB formatsto AVI files that will play from a flash drive thru a DVD player.Does that make sense???

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.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I've never tried playing an MP4 file on that player. I would assume it will since most do, but I've never tried so can't confirm it. So sorry I wasn't more help.

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.

I downloaded it and I could not get it to play either. I have a Samsung UHD TV and I also tried putting the clip on the 4K movie disc pack that I received with the TV. It also would not play on that hard disk through the USB port. However, it will play on my computer. I do have another Youtube mp4 clip that plays through the disk pack in 4k. I moved that clip to the KdLinks and it came back as unsupported format also. So, I agree that the KdLinks will not play 4k video without some kind of an upgrade.

Make sure you have downloaded Windows media player or VLC media player or some other "player". I had the same problem; the DVDs weren't playing because I didn't have the proper software to play them. Hope that helps.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

The USB port only plays music (I believe in mp3 format) and pictures (in jpg). Movies don't work, unfortunately.

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.

It's a very picky player. Sometimes it does but most of the time it doesn't, and I'm not sure what the encoding requirements are to make it one of those special mp4's that will work. This player here Androset 1080P-TVBOX 1080p HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV 50 (Black 1080p tv box) will though. I have both of these players and the URL I pasted is a far better player in my opinion.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

Only for individual files over 4GB. From what I understand DVD movies will work since they aremultiply VOB files. mp3s and avi files should be no problem.What would not work is a single file over 4GB such as an movie ISO file.----------Thanks for the tip on the power outage. I was thinking of buying one of these andleaving it in FAT32 so I can plug it into my standalone DVD player which has a USBport. I read somewhere I can do this for my Divx, Xvid, avi files. How much of a risk am I running by leaving the drive in FAT32 as far as a poweroutage losing my data? thanks! Only for individual files over 4GB.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.
