Asus O!Play HDP-R1 Digital Media Player
Viewing and Listening to Media Files
Regardless of whether you are playing files stored on a direct-connected USB drive or via a network connection, the playback experience is the same--assuming, of course, that you can find the files you are looking for.
As to video files types, the O!Play supports video files with these extensions: ASF, AVI, DAT, DIVX, FLV, M2TS, MKV, MP4, MPG, MPV, RM, RMVB, TS, VOB, WMV, and XVID. It is important to keep in mind that these file types represent only the “container” within which a video is stored. Many of these file types support videos encoded with a variety of different codecs. The video codecs that the O!Play supports are H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, RM, and RMVB. We successfully played video files using all of these files types and codecs. Additionally, we also were able to play M4V video files as well as ISO files of DVD and BD movies--even the navigation on the DVD and BD movie menus remained intact. Some additional unsupported video file types that we tried, but the O!Play could not play, were 3PG, FLC, M1V, M2T, M2V, SWF, and VC1; unsupported and unplayable codecs included CVID, DV, SVQ3, and VC1. The O!Play also supports SMI, SRT, SSA, and SUB subtitle formats--all of which we got to successfully work with the O!Play.
