fvw53 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Can somebody recommend a DVD player with USB port to play videof files in AVI and MP4 and MKV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not sure about MKV, but Pioneer have been selling USB equipped DVD players for around a decade that could play back MP3, AVI/DivX and JPG slideshows. I remember buying one in BK back in the early 2000's for around 2K Baht. I don't keep up with DVD players, but assume it's going to be pretty standard feature... Yep - here's one for 1200 Baht: http://piyanas.com/shopping/productdetail.php?cat=124.171&id=1775〈=th no mention of MKV though - if your MKV's are HD, you'd need a Bluray player (or just a recent TV with USB) to play them back anyway - a DVD player won't cut it for HD content.

BudRight Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Toting around films on a flash drive is no longer necessary. Get your viewing device internet enabled and stream it from the source with Plex or XMBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthepink Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) LG blu-ray players are not bad for playing files from USB. I have a BD550 that plays most things I throw at it, but it's quite old now. You should be able to pick up a more recent model for less than ฿2,000 I would have thought. As for internet enabled viewing devices - if you're planning on streaming content, you will probably have to use an Ethernet cable, as 1080p files with a decent bit-rate will not play smoothly over most WiFi connections.

maamoot Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have never seen a "DVD" player that will play MKV files and I dont think there is such a thing available , if there is it is the first I have heard about it .What you want and which is pretty much the same difference is a Bluray Player .A Bluray player can play your DVD + CD + MKV + MP3 + MP4 + just about any other format that you can throw at it . You can put the files on a thumb drive or a portable hard drive or a CD or a blank DVD , some of the new blurays you can stream and network files from your computer as well .When you go to buy the bluray player , bring the storage device that you plan to use as your source and test it to make sure that it plays .DO NOT TAKE THE SALESMAN'S WORD FOR IT THAT IT WILL PLAY THE FILE THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY . TEST IT TO MAKE SURE .I have seen Samsung bluray players on sale for as low as 1500 baht that will do the job . I would go with a Samsung if you can find one for a good price , good luck !

CockneyGit Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Any cheap and nasty DVD player from Makro, Tesco, Big C etc. will pay .AVI files. Unlikely you'll get one that plays MKV files.Bizarrely, the more ''recognized'' brands often won't be able to do this!Have a DVD Player in my bedroom that cost 590 Baht, plays all my downloaded torrent files in AVI format no problem.

astral Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Take a usb with you, loaded with a few files to try the various formats Do not rely on sales assistants to know what can be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
