Can I play movies from USB on DVD player? Be sure to look in the “Technical Specifications” listing in your DVD player’s instruction manual to see what formats it will support before potentially wasting your time. AVI files, among a few other popular formats. There are different DVD formats, ranging from DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, and more.ĭVD players won’t just support any file format–most support.
