MP4? Can anybody confirm if this .mp4 really works with your unit?

Also having problems: from the USB (as the dvd drive no longer recognizes discs, "Insert Disc" always pops up) tried .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov and none are recognized. will try other conversions.

I have the XDS and I can tell you that even for the supported file types it only works about 30% of the time and will almost certainly require re-encoding to work. It only supports a very limited range of settings and even people with a decent knowledge of video encoding have trouble getting videos to work.

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.

All I can say is that I have been able to play .mp4 720p files without any problem. I don't know what other formats will work.

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.

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

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 don't know about the MP4 compatability; but I would not recommend this blu-ray disc player. It is unbelievably slow to perform any commands - open, load, close, turn off, etc.

I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

The one I just bought does not do either. It's broken and I will return it. I had one previously that I broke, myself, by accident. It did video with audio and still shots. But with these suppliers, it is uncertain what you will actually receive, or if it will work. The first one I bought had higher resolution than was advertised 720p vice 640p, which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy with the first one and will probably send the one back and ask to have it replaced.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

Glad to know that purchased videos work on the X-Fi. They did *not* work on the X-Fi Style that I bought, so I returned that one. Has anyone tried hooking the X-Fi to an external video screen? Any comments on how best to do that? If it's easy and inexpensive enough, I might try the X-Fi.Thanks, - Ted

Mine has a video out, but I haven't used it, so I can't confirm the quality (I usually take the micro-sd out to transfer files if there's any I want to save or review). Per my experience with the rest of the unit, there's no reason to expect it wouldn't work fine, though.

Update: With the newest firmware the BDP 80 plays MKV just fine! Now my only wish is for H 264 playback. THEN it would truly be universal. (although limited to Fat 32 making large NTFS USB drives pretty useless for now)
