3. Watching Movies
You can use your media player to watch personal videos and digitized DVDs stored on:
•
A FreeAgent drive installed in the media player
•
An external USB drive connected to the media player's USB port
•
A digital camera or camcorder connected to the media player's USB port
•
A shared folder or media server on your network
Your media player automatically searches the drives and devices connected to your media
player and creates an index of all the video, picture, and music files it finds. The movies are
listed on the Movie screen (see "Playing a Movie" on page 19).
Before You Begin
Before you begin, ensure that the movies you want to watch are in a supported format, and
that if you want to view movie subtitles, they are in a supported format, too.
Supported Movie Formats
Your media player supports movies in these formats:
.ASF
.FLV
.AVI
H.264
.DAT
.IFO
.DivX®
.ISO
Supported Movie Subtitle Formats
Your media player supports subtitles in these formats:
.SMI/SAMI
.SRT
If a movie has subtitles, make them viewable by ensuring that the movie file and subtitle file
have identical names. Also, ensure that the movie file and subtitle file are stored in the same
folder.
