These are the actual file name extensions the player can read. For example, the player will see and display a file called ''abc.jpg'', but if you rename it to ''jpg.abc'' it will become invisible to the player and you will not be able to display it. ".abc" is not a supported file name extension. It is important to note that many of these filetypes are ''container'' formats, which means that they can contain a variety of codecs, not all of which are supported. | These are the actual file name extensions the player can read.

+ | == Large file sizes (above 4Gb)? == | ||
+ | Are there any plans, such as via a firmware upgrade, to support a filesystem (such as NTFS, or UFS, or EXT2 -- anything) in your USB-readers, that would allow files larger than 4Gb? Some of our HD travel videos are very big and I'm loath cut them. This is also the single [http://www.amazon.com/review/R3BSITJ6ABCWJV/zhopa negative point] among Amazon's reviews of your players... | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is my understanding, that your players run some sort of Unix inside (Linux? BSD?), so it ''should'' already be possible to use something better than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT32#FAT32 FAT] on the USB-media. Can you, please, confirm this? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Player uses a mini-OS shell for higher functions which are proprietary to our own operation. Player does not have a full OS required for emulation of Unix functions such as NTFS formatting. This is a limitation of the design of the player and can't be adjusted through a future firmware release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The way around this limitation is to use DLNA streaming. Your host device is responsible for filesystem compatibility - Nathaniel Plain | ||
