‘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, only the ‘picture’ folder can be found there.’

“Smart TVs” often have at least one USB port that let you plug in a hard drive, flash drive, or other USB storage device to view local media files on your television. However, it doesn’t mean that you can watch any video or movies stored on the flash drive on your TV. The file formats should be included in Vizio HD TV supported file formats. After a lot of online searching and testing, we find that the Vizio HD TV supported file must be encoded as H.264 and the audio as AAC.
