Movie stops Hi. I have an Sharp LC -LE29440M which can play different movie formats. I just have occasional issues with it as sometimes the movie stops right towards the end of the film. May I know what could be the reason for this. I use a WD external hard drive to open/play the files. Thanks :)

Hi.

On order to make an external hard drive readable from a dvd player you need to reformat the hard drive to fat32 format. Most DVD players are only able to read drives formatted in the FAT32 system,

To format the ext hard drive to Fat32 you will need to connect it to your computer first to carry out the formatting.

1) Click "Start" then "Run"

2) Type "CMD" into the text box, then press "Enter."

3) Type "Format /FS:FAT32 X:" into the command prompt, replacing the letter "X" with the actual drive letter of your USB hard drive. If you do not know the drive letter of your hard drive, open "My Computer" and look under "Devices with removable storage." BE SURE YOU HAVE SELECTED THE CORRECT DRIVE LETTER TO FORMAT. Then press "Enter".

4) Press "Y" when you have identified the correct drive and you are ready to format the hard drive. All data present on the drive will be erased once it has been formatted. The drive will now be formatted to FAT 32

5) Load the films onto the USB hard drive. Be aware FAT32 file system cannot support files larger than four gigabytes.

6) Connect the ext hard drive to your DVD player via usb and select "USB Device" or it may be labelled as external device. Your DVD player should recognise the device and play the films.

I'm sure you probably have done this but i gotta ask!

When using usb there's enough power to run the usb key. When using 2.5inch hard drive the usb has enough power to run it. When using a 500gig you will need a separate powersource for it so check to make sure thats the case.

Also, a lot of these dvds will will only work with ide external harddrives and not sata external ones so make sure you use ide drives only.

good luck

Are you able to play other discs on your player? Did you get your discs from a reputable distributor? and not at a flee market? Could be that your discs aren't giving the proper signals.

Try to unplug the player for a few seconds and then plug it back. It should work again with the DivX files. I had an identical problem and since then, it works just fine.
