I have converted several of my DVD's to M4V format to play on my Ipad, I have just purchased a new Sony Bravia 49X830C and would love to be able to play the movies off of my portable hard drive. From what I have read the only format compatible to play from a USB device is MPEG-1. I can not find a way to convert in DVDFab. Can anyone help me. From what I can see, either this TV is not as Smart as it could be or I am not LOL.

Well, after trying several formats I got in touch with Sony. MPEG is the only format that works! From all the reading I have done, this was a cost cutting measure! So, as far as I am concerned, they dumbed down the Smart TV. I am back at square one, I loved playing the movies off the hard drive but guess I am going to have to go back to the DVD's.

Hi Pam
All is not lost, you could get a media player to play your movies off a Hdd. I'm sure one on my friends here will give you some good advice as to a good media player.
