Hi, I have a friend that can download couple of hundred movies into a USB stick 256gb. My question is what format does it need be in? Can it still be in its original 1080p file? Thanks
The only problem is the wireless headsets will only work with the first movie selected. I have a spare wired set that works with the 2nd screen though.
I think our stick is 128GB Fat32, working fine. But can double check on file system.I have a SanDisk 64 gb stick formatted to FAT32 with only two movies one 1080p one 720p - and it just says reading, left it for 15 min - no change. What kind of drives do you guys have, must it be NTFS if its larger than 64 gb? Any ideas
I bought the cheapest 32GB USB drive I could find. I am not sure of the "brand" but I will check. I formated it FAT32 and put files created by Handbrake on it. It has always worked perfectly and even though it is only USB 2.0, the kids can watch 2 movies at a time from the drive.I tested 15 of my USB drives, all formatted FAT32 and only three did not work.

In summary, if your USB drive does not read try a different one.
