Question about DVD Player with a UBS device port?

Question

I recently bought a LG DP432H DVD player which has a UBS port.

Specification says it has playback compatibility of DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DivX and MP3 any media can be played on this device.

I have downloaded a coupled of youtube videos onto the UBS stick but player display says video not supported when you put stick in USB port.

What I am doing wrong?

Many thanks for any help.

Answer 1

The youtube video's are most probably "AVI" Files or even possibly MP4. If that is the case they are more than likely not going to play as you have said DivX and MP3 are only playable.



You can either convert them video files to DIVX from avi (Or what ever format they are) To find out the format



Right click the file and then select properties ( On that screen it will tell you next to the Type of files ... The format. There is software out there that will convert to many video formats, just google convert Avi to divx (Or what ever the file type is



Just my advice

Answer 2

reading the manual -> Playable Codec format: “DIVX3.xx”, “DIVX4.xx”, “DIVX5.xx”, “MP43”, “XviD”, ”3IVX so if it saved as a .avi etc.. or not a format listed above it will NOT play.. and a DVD support all file video formats would be extreme rare, i dont think even 1 exists. unless you can add codec to it.

Answer 3

All video formats will not work on your DVD player.

So download videos in mpeg2 , or .VOB type



and if video is not available in VOB or MPEG2 then you can conver using free software named : Format Factory



i am giving you a link just give it a try ...



Edit: format factory is a free software there are also many paid one if you want to buy

Your YouTube video format is probably not supported. What is the file extension of your YouTube Videos?

Answer 6

Specification says it has playback compatibility of DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DivX and MP3 any media can be played on this device. The specification refers to the capability of the DVD player not the USB hub.



The DVD player can read those types of discs but you still need a software player in order to play them on your pc.



The same applies to the USB hub. It simply another convenient USB port. It has no built in software

to use to play files that need a player. It is simply a port that you can use with any USB device .



Ordinarily you would download files that require a player on to your hard drive into a folder where you can keep them organized and then when you click on one it will launch the program needed or ask you which program you want to use from a list that the finds. It becomes the chosen one after then.



Bottom line- The DVD drive is for reading certain types of files that have been recorded on the disc but you still need player software such as Windows Media Player in order to play them.



Bottom line- The USB port is just an additional port that is in a handy place.



You could have before buying the player and still can download youtube files and play them totally without the new player.

You will need appropriate software-not hardware-
