Some Philips TV models can play MP4 files without anu hassle while some Philips TVs only like Divx/Xvid with AC3 or MP3 audio in an AVI container. Moreover, you can play some MP4 files on a Philips TV but when you play another MP4 video, the same Philips TV refuses to play them. Why And how to do when your Philips TV can’t recognize your MP4 videos
Generally, this is no fault of your Philips TVs. The .mp4 is just a container for the video and audio codecs. For instance the .mp4 could have the video coded in DivX, H.263, XviD, H264/AVC, or M-PEG4 to name a few. But your Philips TVs only can read part of the codecs. Therefore, when you can’t play a MP4 video on a Philips TV, the main reason will boil down to the codec used for your MP4 files. You can check whether your Philips TV supports MP4 video and what video and audio codec it supports in the following attachment:
