Does this play mkv files and subs , The format always used for anime's ?

Yes it does. But only SOMETIMES. Sometimes it'll read the srt sub file and sometimes it won't. Or if the movie or anime show or anime movie had built in subs that also doesn't work all the time. In fact for Chobits blueray rip the subs do not work at all. And I got a dual audio version....only thing I can think of is that it may not even have subs at all but it wouldn't make sense because why have english but also have japanese audio if there is no subs??? It makes no sense. I've also had issues with Star Wars built in subs not working. So actually...my issue seems to be "built in subs" issue...some work and some refuse to work. Which is incredibly upsetting because I HATE having separate srt files...I shouldn't even need to have them separate for this to work properly....and in most cases its not even possible. Like for a entire series?? Subtitle sites don't have subs for tv shows...all they got us subs for movies last I checked. So ya....it works but it doesn't work at the same time. And most times I need to click the subtitle button just to get it working. And sometimes the subs show up on their own and even sometimes they don't show up all the time. Like in one scene the subs show up and then they dont later. It makes no sense.

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

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.

^^Only mpeg2 files I believe, stuff recorded from a camcorder (ACVHD) and digital camera (Quicktime??). You can't play regular movie files like TS/VOB files if that's what you're asking.

yes,I tried .sub ,but no go.Also I converted it to .srt but was getting out of sync ,so I gave up after trying get it to work.Too bad some realeses have subtitles with .sub. somehow only reads .srt only even after new firmware.No idea why. And yes they both match (movie and sub's)

I have very positive experiences from using GOM player in playing many different media formats. It automatically find codecs and everything. Perhaps you should give it a try for the new AVCHD format also.

I have only been able to play AVI and MP4 formats. I wish it played Matroska video files. Using a converter like AVS video converter can convert anything!

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

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)

Hmm, no answer to this....? I'm pretty curious myself, as I'm an avid anime watcher and have some on my computer (as well as few J-Horror movies) that I have some SRT subbing done in & while I can play the videos I can't seem to make the subbing pop up. I'm wondering if I'm gonna have to run some sort of media server application--like I used to w/ my PS3 (PS3 Media Server)--that while help me transcode the vids w/ subtitles... Be nice to know if anyone else came up w/ a workaround/answer for this.

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.

I am serving files via a Synology NAS, model # DS210J. I could not view or play .MKV or M4V video files on the BD player. My solution (after many hours of hair-pulling) was to change the video file name extension from .MKV to .MPG and the 720P video files would be recognized by the Sony and play correctly. I hope this helps.

No. It's a good video file player and my friend loves it. You might need to search for a new firmware update on the net to make it play MKV tho as it has difficulty out of the box doing that. Hope that helps you.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

YES, so long as your media player has the right codecs . Windows Media, VLC and Roxio will all open MTS files

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.
