I have an external portable drive and I ALWAYS put the videos on pen drives… thats the whole point. I will even put them on 2 pendrives… and just circulate from there. Until maybe im able to but a better USB format to store MP4s to connect to a smart TV or bluray player.
I had a cheap USDVD player 3 years ago but the some of discs kept mistracking freezing and all that. Then the Mexican one with the bad firnware messing up…(I honestly don’t remember it messing up on the blu rays, but i was afraid to try it much but it also kept freezing on the MP4s) originally i wanted to wait until we moved but mom doesn’t want to move anytime soon. But i did have about 4 years ago free trial DVD ripper where first 10 discs were free… and they all ripped perfectly… then i had to pay but by then it was ok…(so i thought) because “soon well move back”… RIIIIGHT! 🙄 so thats why i went ahead abd bought this so mom could watch her dang shows… well that did work out so..
I guess having a DVD ripper is the best solution since THIS player seems to play MP4s fine..
If your computer can play DVDs properly, put a splitter between your computer and monitor. That way you can run an additional cable to your TV.
You could also play online content on the TV. I do this to watch a lot of Youtube auto and motorcycle racing.
If you are considering ripping movie DVDs, there's various forms of encryption you'll be dealing with. IMO, not worth the aggravation let alone the legalities.
Promising new development! But another topic but will help this problem immensely…
