[mike6321]

How come I can't play any divx movies or AVI movies off of my Sandisk 16gb usb stick. The dvd player says no files found. I can play the movies off of the stick on my computer. Do I have to wait for a hack??

Check the file system on your USB stick. FAT32 should work. If your USB Sandisk was formatted by you or someone else to NTFS, that won't work because Microsoft charges money for NTFS support and none of the DVD player manufacturers want to pay it. Some streaming media players do support NTFS though.

MPEG4 and MPEG4 HD are generally code names for Divx/Xvid and Divx/Xvid HD. Your files will need to be either Divx or Xvid. The extension at the end of the file name may be important. Some players won't touch *.divx files but will play the same file if renamed to *.avi.

I'd suggest that you put an MP3 file on the USB stick and see if that plays. If that plays, then it means that the stick is in a format that the player understands and it's an NTFS issue. If that MP3 file plays fine, then use a program like GSpot to examine one of your files and post a picture here of what it finds so we can look at it. Again, it could just be a name thing.

Thanks for the help. It looks like the usb is NTFS. It must have came that way. How do I change it to Fat32.


Thanks

It's actually pretty easy to do, just not very intuitive to figure out without help for the first time. Here's some easy to follow instructions.

I did that but it only has NTFS dosent show fat or fat32.

And you are unable to do your own search on Google, Yahoo, etc. because ...???

Just do a search on something like this:

Dude, I have gone way beyond what I needed to do in finding you the first link. If you aren't able to do any work yourself, then you don't need any more help from us.

I'm done responding to this thread.

I have the same problem on my LG LH-T751TB player, it just won't recognise data on my USB key, even though it's fine on other players. LG just seem to be awkward like that.

Hi,
I have recently bought a LG 3D LED (LW6500) TV.
I have unlimited download broadband and a 500GB Transcend external hdd (NTFS)
I want to play HD 1080p 3d/non 3d movies via my hard disk connected directly to my TV (no computer in between)
I am successful in most of the files, so I prefer downloading mkv files and if it has DTS sound (AC3) then I convert it to (AAC) and it plays perfectly.
Now my problem is that 90% of the files work with these format (mkv with ac3 sound) but some of the files with same extension mkv and ac3 sound doesn’t work on my TV.
I have done extreme search on google and all that but cannot figure out the problem. Can anyone pl pl pl help me. Pl. I dont want to re download 8GB/movie files again. Pl pl pl.

The real pain with FAT32 is that the maximum file size is 4GB which means you can't put proper 1080p MKV's on the stick to play them as they're much bigger than 4GB. It's an absolutely awful limitation and one that I hope the manufacturers realise that people want sorted i.e. NTFS support.

@vishalrpanchal
I have the same tv but the 3d movies for some reason play with a red shadow. Any way around this?
THANKS.

Its frame rate issue.. LG TV plays 8 to 30 fps ..so select movies between this fps range
