Has anyone popped any movies onto a USB stick yet ? If so are you using the .mp4 format and how are you arranging the files i.e. in folders .....all help appreciated  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I have about a dozen movies converted as avi files on a 64Gb usb stick. I converted them using a Windows freeware app called 'Super'.They are in a folder called 'Movies' and sub folders according to genre. They all play and the quality is reasonable for a small screen.
Also tried my music on the same usb drive but about 20% of the tracks just will not play so I may have to go down the Ipod route (and I really don't like Apple products!).

That's fine, just wondered if you had maybe planned to also watch them at home, as TVs and DVD players with a USB interface sometimes can't play some formats and I could have advised you accordingly.

Thanks for your good intention however

Hi, Anyone know if you can stream a blackvue through to the video screen? I know it outputs MP4's but don't know if you can get an adapter to usb.

Anyone know how DIVX converter works?
I've downloaded it but damned if I can figure out how to convert video clips off my iTunes in the right format to play thru the USB stick in the car?
Step by step guide would be useful if anyone knows please

Divx plus converter is very unintuitive to use, if you are having problems its iTunes that's causing them.

I only have a GS model so no screen BUT I used the saved money and have mini iPads in the back connected to wifi on 3 mobile (unlimited data plan), we have an account with Netflix that gives access to tens of thousands of films, that way each device can watch any film, also the ipads can record catch up TV programmes or you can watch them direct in HD, also live TV, Sat Nav, streaming music and just about anything else you can think of, including browsing the internet, each person views and listens to what they want, no messing about and leaves more time to help others on the forum
Maybe I should have got a vehicle with the old screen and entertainment system, that way I would have less spare time
