Ive plugged my portable usb flash drive in and it only reads music..

Without knowing your exact player I can't be sure, but a lot of players are picky with formats and files. Try it with different types of video files.

I have one and it plays mpeg and avi (encoded with divx) - if the file extension is .divx it won't play, changing it to avi works.

If you need to convert the file get a hold of xilisoft video convertor ultimate - it truly is the ultimate.

I've only had to convert a couple of movies that I donwloaded. TV shows always work.

it would help if you said what kind of player you have, but its possible that your player is setup for a different type of tv... mine had a similar problem and since then there has only been ONE program that i couldnt watch on the dvd player.. it must have had the .divx format
