Apart from burning the MP4 format into DVD form there are several other ways too from which you can play MP4 on TV. Method #1: Play MP4 to TV via Audio-Visual (AV) Cables. There are several cables that can be used for this purpose such as VGA, HDMI, S-Video and DVI. Your TV has got the compatible ports. Plug those in your TV and PC and play your MP4 video. Method #2: Play MP4 to TV Wireless.

Been using an Avtex TV with the USB port to watch the occasional MPEG video. As I have a large number of MPEG videos stored on a system at home it requires a limited number of these to be copied to a USB stick as and when required.

It would be nice just to mirror copy the whole lot from my home system onto a USB connected hard drive as it would give excellent choice whilst away and also act as a further backup of files.Does anyone know the specification for a hard drive that can be attached to an Avtex TV via its USB port? I have a USB connected 1TB Seagate drive that I guess is too large for it to recognise. Have partitioned it into 4 separate drives each less than 250 GB but 'device not recognised' is the only response I get.Anyone out there with the knowledge?GrahamEdited by grahamw 2012-08-18 10:21 AMJudgeMentalPosted: 18 August 2012 10:30 AMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard drive.

Have finally got the USB hard drive functioning with the Avtex TV. A price to be paid though. I suspected that the Avtex TV would not support USB drives above a specific size and have set up a variety of partitions on the hard drive to discover a point at which it will work. Using a Windows 7 machine to partition the drive I finally got down to a partition size of 16GB. Interestingly at this size Windows 7 offers the format of FAT32 for the device rather than just exFAT and NTFS and the films play fine on the Avtex.At this partition size though one begins to wonder whether there is any advantage over using a small number of now cheap USB sticks.

It also begs the question whether USB sticks are also restricted to a maximum 16 GB size. Anybody know?Posted: 19 August 2012 10:37 AMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard driveLocation: Sherwood Forest.

Just as an update as to what I've found possible with the Avtex TV. The actual size of hard drive that can be accessed by the Avtex is 32 MB. This is because the drive has to be formatted FAT32 and that is the maximum I seem to be able to create. There are fixes (eg. Verbatim FAT32.exe) to create a larger FAT32 partition but this is simply not recognised by a Windows 7 machine so you can't copy files to it.

Apparently it will work on a Mac.So I have the 1TB USB drive partitioned into two, a 32MB partition formatted FAT32 which the Avtex can read and run.mpg files from and second partition comprising the remainder which is formatted NTFS. This second partition the Avtex simply doesn't see.

I've backed up all my media files to the NTFS partition and placed a selection of.mpg movies in the 32 MB partition. The 32MB partition will hold about a dozen movies. I'll see how it works simply attaching the USB drive to my laptop and copying a fresh selection of movies from the NTFS partition over to the FAT32 partition over time to view on the Avtex. At least I've got all my movies backed up as well as access for the Avtex to all of them with a little transferring. All in a little pocket size hard drive which draws its power from the Avtex - no clutter of cables. Come in handy for the three months of 'Winter Sun'.Posted: 19 August 2012 8:48 PMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard driveLegendary contributorPosts: 9851Location: Cheshire.

Two different things really.No idea what you are trying to do but as mentioned previously, I gave up on mucking around with getting my Avtex to recognise any of my USB flash drives. Easier to hook up an MP3 player.

Are you mixing hard drive with flash drive? Two different things really.I'm exploring the issue of connecting a USB hard drive via the USB socket on the Avtex TV rather than any other USB device such as 'flash drives'.

When you refer to 'hooking up an mp3 player' are you talking about music or video? The file extension.mp3 relates to music rather than video.

I have.mp3 files on the hard drive that also play without problem if they are resident on the FAT 32 partition that I mentioned in my previous post but it's the playing of.mpg files that's been taxing me via the USB connector on the Avtex TV.Edited by grahamw 2012-08-19 10:18 PMPosted: 19 August 2012 10:42 PMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard driveThe special onePosts: 12468Location: E Yorks, 2015 Globecar FamilyScout L Ducato Maxi.

I convert them via my pc to run on the players, both of which are Archos. As I explained earlier I gave up on the USB (Avtex) as I couldn't get it to recognise. Contacted Avtex who were rather abrupt on the phone and not particularly helpful. Strange given that the products they market are far from cheap (my 10' Avtex cost almost as much as my 40' domestic flat screen).

I'll repeat - I was looking to 'kill two birds with one stone'.

Firstly I wanted to invest in a high capacity storage device so that I could backup an extensive media collection at home but also use this device to couple to the Avtex to deliver.mpg video/films on the move. Using an mp3 player as a backup device I'm sure you'll agree is probably not a good idea.Judging by the number of people in this thread who have abandoned using the USB port on the Avtex suggest its a feature that initially had some promise but the lack of information from Avtex made its use problematic. To be honest I think the port is purely provided for recording the odd programme and then playing it back.

It obviously was never intended to give access to a mass storage device. Until Avtex update the filing system that it uses to NTFS then it always will be limited.I may well eventually go the route as suggested by Judgemental earlier of using a small number of 32GB USB sticks to store video on and just use the hard drive at home for its primary purpose of backup.

I now know that formatted FAT32 they do indeed work well in the Avtex.GrahamPosted: 20 August 2012 9:17 PMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard driveLegendary contributorPosts: 9851Location: Cheshire.

By default all the USB sticks I've bought have always been formatted FAT32. Once formatted.mp3,.mpg and.jpg files can be copied to it. The Avtex TV does not recognise any other file types.

Insert the USB stick into the Avtex TV and set the source to DVD. The Avtex will look for a DVD in the slot and report that it is empty - allow it to do this. Now press the button 'LIST' under the marked heading 'DVD/USB'. The screen will indicate 'waiting' and then produce a list of accessible files on the USB stick.

Mp3 players which I know you don't want to do.but it's simple, cheap and quick.

Some have a simple video and audio socket. How are you connecting it to the Avtex.

Archos lead to coupling unit, then Avtex lead to TV.Thanks for the greater detail.

You are using the SCART connector with adapter to connect your AV leads.To be honest my main concern was to try and use what was present on the Avtex to deliver the viewing of movies without the clutter of other devices connected by cables. Charging devices is not an issue but experience tells me it would be nice if you could avoid it. Maybe the requirement of backing up my media collection should not have been part of the issue because its possibly sidetracked me a little and certainly complicated the issue.By way of update I've been trying out a range of MPEG movies on a USB stick and to be honest the Avtex firmware seems inconsistent. Certain movies it has played and then for some reason it refuses to play them. Sometimes it will start to play a different movie to the one selected or after selecting a movie it will simply return back to the menu. This problem seems to relate to TV source material which has been converted to.mpg format. With this sort of performance I can't in all fairness see the use of the USB port as viable although the problem may relates to the conversion process to.mpg that I've used.

I'll try and pursue this with Avtex but to date I had little response from them.Certainly your idea of using an mp3 player is excellent and I have never suggested otherwise. Indeed one big advantage of using such a player might be its ability to play a wider range of filetypes if that's part of the specification. Little detail has been given by those people who responded to this thread about their frustration with the Avtex USB port so I've no idea whether they they got as far as actually playing movies via the USB port and encountered the same inconsistencies as I have.Thanks for your interest in the thread Bulletguy.Posted: 22 August 2012 11:25 AMSubject: RE: Avtex TV and hard driveLegendary contributorPosts: 9851Location: Cheshire.

I have 12v charger units for laptop, camera, GPS, mp3 players, and TV.and that means lots of cables. Try as you might you cannot avoid them. In the home it's different. Any one of these items can be plugged into 240v and simply left, so you don't ever notice any 'clutter of cables'.I'm not surprised at the lack of response from Avtex.

It struck me as a company only interested in selling 'boxes'.and expensive ones at that too. I phoned them but did not like their abrupt manner at all.
