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.

My player won't play anything at via the USB port even though the player
supports most formats. 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?

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.

My Samsung can play MP3 &WMA audio, Divx/Xvid & WMV video and view
jpg,files from my 500Gb backup drive and I use this feature more often
than I use it to play DVDs.

According to the manual

This product cannot play any audio/video/photo file stored on a USB
device.
Perhaps you should read it sometime.

So what is the USB port for then since it can't play anything at all?

Perhaps you should read my post above.

" instructions manual says the USB connection is not for video playback at

In this post I am asking for advice as to whether there are any players
available

"Are there any players out there that meet my rquirements?"
