John

Yesterday I bought a samsung blu ray player and I can watch .avi and .mkv movies on it from a flash drive but wondering if I can do the same on an external hard drive if i format it in fat32 mode.

Answer
I'm not too sure as the external hard drive might be needing more power through the USB port than what the player can supply. Flash drives don't have moving parts so they require less power. You can try it though.

However, if it's a 3.5" external hard drive then there will be no power requirement problem as it has it's own power adaptor similar to that of a laptop's charger.

How to burn pictures and video clips from camera and play on home television through blu-ray player?

Tyler

They are from the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 underwater and out of the water camera and i have burned them to a DVD-R disc through my computer and am looking to watch on tv on our Sony Blu-Ray player. I have tried loading the disc but it displays a message saying that the disc format cannot be played. What do I do? Do I have to buy a different disc or use a program to specially format the disc for dvd use?
