  • playing videos off a USB drive

    Posted by James Redmond on October 11, 2011 at 9:30 pm

    Hi,

    I have a client that whats to distribute 11 videos on a USB drive. The total running time is 12 hours 33 minutes.

    I was thinking of having a player on the USB flash drive and then the files as MP4.

    Is that the format you would use?
    What compression setting?
    I am thinking of using the VLC Media Player Portable as the player.

    Once I get the compression settings then I can figure out the size of the USB drive they will need.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks! James

    Yes, that’s what I would use.

    Use Sony AVC with one of the Internet … templates that match your video resolution and frame rate. You can decrease the bit-rate to make the files smaller if they are too big.

    Make sure the USB drives are fast enough to play videos. Test it before he buys a boat load of blanks. (Or use a third-party like disc Makers to make the USB drives for you.)
