USB port on DVD players
Is it normal for the usb connection on bluray/dvd players to be unable to
play video/movies, or is this connection for other purposes only? I would like watch recorded material using this utility, but the player I have says that this is not possible. Are there any players out there that meet my rquirements? |

If it supports playing videos over the USB port, then you also need to ensure that the video format (codec) is supported by the DVD player. Some support DivX, some support plain mpeg. My old DVD player could play MPEG2 files just burned to DVD - but my new one can't, nor can it play them on USB. However it can play DivX - though not all profiles if I remember correctly. D |

It is a design problem rather than a codec one, as the instructions manual says the USB connection is not for video playback at all. I had hoped I could put some xvid movies on a memory stick, and play them back via this connection but obviously this is not possible with my current player. So I take it you watch films etc, via this method on your dvd player? |

So I take it you watch films etc, via this method on your dvd player? I really only use the DVD player for playing DVDs and CDs. The USB port was something I intended to use for MPEG2 files taken from my Humax PVR, converted to DivX and then played via a USB hard disk - but I've not yet got round to doing it. Tried a few DivX profiles but had some issues and never tried it again yet. I know that some people have released new firmware for my DVD player which does more things, but again not tried anything yet. It's a Pioneer 610AV I think. D |

I have a 3 year old Xoro player that will play from not only memory sticks, but a 200GB USb FAT32 external drive. I read the other day of a playr that will play from 2TB NTSC external drive. Unfortunately I did not keep the link. Try the forums at videohelp.com and they check to see if available in UK Malcolm Thanks Malcolm, appreciate that. |
