USB port on LG Player

[bfett9]

So this is the player I am looking at.
LG BP-220
http://www.lg.com/us/home-audio-vide...ray-dvd-player

It has a USB Port on front, what I am wondering is will it support an NTFS formatted USB vs. the standard FAT 32 Format?

I have a large video I want to play just want to make sure it can play it before I get the USB.

Thanks!

I'd try and get some owners' feedback playing large files, my Samsung players all recognize my USB drive and it's files, but they hang when playing back larger HD files, so do a bit of further research if you can. Amazon Answers are usually pretty good, as a lot of people usually have similar inquiries.

The program multiavchd can help you work around the smaller file limitation if you have one.

Thanks for the info, might just do that, I also have an old WD Media player that should work as well, its just i'd have to unhook the BD player and that's always a pain, but regardless I will look into it!
