The Mac is hooked directly up to the HDTV, not the Blu ray, you can use DVI, VGA or HDMI to connect the computer to the HDTV HDMI is the best but your computer has to have it...

How to format Usb to work on Blu-ray player, Mac?

Q. I have a LG Twin HD recorder/Blu-ray Combo and a 16GB SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro Media USB.

The blu-ray player is capable of reading movies on a USB but when i plug in the USB it doesn't even show up.
I've tried formating it to FAT32, didn't work, i tried FAT16, worked but only up to 2GB and the movie is 7GB (blu-ray quality: Transformers :))
If anyone has any idea on how to make it work it would be really appreciated. :)

Thankyou so much in advance. :)

i did everything you said, but when it comes to the password part, it won't let me type anything. :(


Answer
LG Combo supports NTFS file system. You have 2 choices. One is to do it from windows (must be NT, 2000, or higher), or install ntfs-3g ( http://www.tuxera.com/mac/ntfs-3g-2010.5.22-macosx.dmg ) which is a free, open source addition to your kernel that will let you write to ntfs partition, and additionally, gives you a handy terminal command to format drives.

The command is newfs_ntfs-3g. First go to disk utility, and select your usb drive. click on info in the left upper corner. The line you have to remember, or write down, is disk identifier. It will be probably something like disk2s1. Close disk utility. Make sure your usb drive is unmounted. Now, open the terminal, and type in
sudo newfs_ntfs-3g -f /dev/<diskidentificator>
Replace <diskidentificator> with the disk identifier from disk utility. The command sudo tels it to do it as an administrator, so it will ask for a password. option -f will tell it to format it.

Viola, your ntfs usb stick is ready. Plus, your mac can read and write ntfs filesystem.
