Does anyone know what format movie files have to be in to play through the USB port from a flash drive? I read on another forum that it should be divx but it doesn't work on mine. It recognises the movie title and then says Device Not Recognised.

And yes, I have read the manual and it is no help.

Any suggestions welcomed

No sorry, haven't bothered trying. Wouldn't be able to hear it over the bloody knocking suspension. Lol

divx can come in different res, i had this problem with a media player connected to my tv ,i had to down load then resize it... i have to resize to 624x256

mp4 should work V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

daveo: yes you are right, resizing makes divx work. MP4 doesn't though.


The problem I have now is that if you put the USB stick in the front slot you can play it on the front screen but not the rear screens. If you put the USB in the rear slot you can play it through the rears and not the front which is not very good at all. Also when you play through the rear you can't play over the speakers only the headphones.

Yes, I have got that to work now. The problem I was having is that after you select limo mode you have to wait a few seconds for the front screen to switch away from RSE before you can use the volume on the remote.

Still can't find a way to do both front and rear screens together though with USB. I suspect bizarrely it is not possible. I have asked Mike at LR customer relations to find out.

Yes - it took me a while to work out that it doesn't work whilst the RSE screen is displayed at the front. Not the most intuitive of systems...

Would be great if it could be made to work on both front and rear screens but agree it seems unlikely - especially for me as I use an ipod connected through the composite video inputs.

Update from me. After persevering with an iPod and composite video inputs I've now managed to get things much neater by putting my movies on a USB stick. Might just be me and a lack of application but having sussed that it s possible to a) unlock apple movies legally and b) convert them to divx I've now got my daughters movie collection in an easy to use format. Still the problem of no front/back integration but having a solid state - so no charging problems solution has suddenly made the playing of movies on RSE a whole lot easier. As a bonus I've also loaded my music on via direct dump from iTunes library so on my own I have my full music collection plugged in to the front USB. Rubbish navigation though but feels like I've now optimised what is possible movie/music wise. Aren't USB capacities big now!

My favorite phrase from this thread

I'm sounding like my grandad, who used to tell us how much bread, milk and bacon you could buy for a penny
when he was a lad, by saying that I can remember paying £45 for a 16Mb Sony USB stick. Yes Mb not Gb. 2010 FFRR VOGUE TDV8 Stornoway Grey - Current

To put my amazement into context - I'm old enough to remember when £45 would buy a 16K RAM pack for my old Sinclair ZX81. (which had 1K of onboard memory) and how liberating the move from storing data on cassette tape to floppy disk was. And I'm still in my 40s (just...)

Yes but from memory that £45 equated to 2/3rds the value of an original ZX81 computer that cost £70. 2010 FFRR VOGUE TDV8 Stornoway Grey - Current

Indeed - allowing for inflation since the early 1980s the ZX81 was about £250 and the cost of memory was about £10 per Kilobyte. Which would value my 128GB usb stick at £1.3 billion....
