How can I play .mp4 files on my TV via a USB flash drive?

By MakeUseOf

Published Dec 29, 2013

 

I want to watch films - in .mp4 format it shows me the films on the menu screen on the TV, but when I try to play it says unsupported file. I cannot find any information in the manual about it (but then the manual doesn't say much about much to be honest!)

Ejecting a cassette

Quick Start Guide

Usable cassettes and playback modes

Selecting the cassette type

You can use both Hi8 and standard 8 mm video cassettes on your camcorder. When you

use a Hi8 video cassette, recording and playback are carried out in the Hi8 system.

When you use a standard 8 mm video cassette, recording and playback are carried out

in the standard 8 mm system.

However, if you record on a Hi8 video cassette in the LP mode, recording is carried out

in the standard 8 mm system.

If you play back a tape recorded on a different video recorder on your camcorder, the

playback mode is automatically selected according to the format in which the tape has

been recorded.

This Hi8 system is an extension of the standard 8 mm system, and was developed to

produce higher quality pictures.

You cannot playback a tape recorded in the Hi8 system correctly on video recorders/

players other than a Hi8 video recorder/player
