Vizio LED Smart TVs/4K TVs are hot products on the market, in recent years Vizio has released many excellent HDTVs and they are hot among users. But Vizio TV has a big bug that it has strict limit on video playback via USB. From Vizio TV official website you will know the detail information of your HD TV, and you will know that only MP4 video format is supported by Vizio LED Smart TV/4K TV from USB. That’s why many people can’t play AVI files on Vizio TV via USB:
"I have a Vizio 32″ LCD hdtv in my office. On the side of it is a USB port. I am using an 8GB flash drive, created a ‘MOVIES’ folder and loaded an .avi movie in that folder. When I connect the flash drive to the tv, it shows a “Picture” folder. When I click OK, it then opens a “system” folder and my “MOVIES” folder. When I select the “MOVIES” folder and press OK, nothing happens. Up at the top right, it says Empty Folder. Does my tv not read even simple .avi file format? Grr!" – from .tomsguide.com
"How can I play avi files on my Vizio SV320XVT TV? I can connect my flash drive directly into the tv. When I try to play the avi files it tells me “video codec not supported.” Any help would be appreciated." – from forum.videohelp.com
The USB port in many TVs was more of a thought for pictures or just providing 5V power to a device. If they do support movies it is a very limited format as being able to support more formats requires not just more processing power, but also having to pay for different codecs. That is not even getting into conflict of interests, like sony (the owner of Blu-Ray format that gets royalty for every Blu-Ray disc made) had very few products that support mkv file format that many hd movies are decoded to. LG provides this capability to play AVI from USB but you won’t change your TV to only for playing a AVI movie. So the cost-optimal way is to convert AVI to MP4 for Vizio TV with a video converter tool.
