Yes it does run latest codecs and container formats but I have seen my (completely stock) freeze and had to be power cycled after and oddly encoded avi which I never found out what The actual video format was. Anyways I use it daily to play videos from all over and it runs great. Works exceptionally well with a plex server and Vimu or just the plex app. Vimu is better for local content in my opinion while plex app is great for ice films and 1 channel like xbmc which I don't believe runs on this box yet.

I don't think it is Sony... I also just recently downloaded videos from a Kodak camera and they also formated to .MOV... which I had to download QickTime player to see.

Yes via the built-in browser. You can also play embedded videos in the browser.

It's played every format that I've put in. I am pretty sure I've done mp4 and mpeg. It really surprised me.

It works fine.I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders.I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app.I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play.I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.

Avi yes, mkv and mp4 no, however the movie clips must be small to view ok, otherwise is working with stopage.

the video is .MP4 so I am guessing that the audio would either be MP3 or AAC. I don't know how to check. I have never had trouble playing .MP4 with anything, it is the most commonly used format.

Yes, once I loaded the photos and video on the computer it played the video fine without any downloading anything special. I use Windows 8

All I can say is that I have been able to play .mp4 720p files without any problem. I don't know what other formats will work.

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

It plays only DVD format (I think they call it VR mode), not any other video. It plays MP3 music and displays JPEG. That's it.
