What video format does the TV support: how to find out and download to USB

It is common knowledge that VLC is a BDMV player that can open and play BDMV files, but errors such as “This Blu-ray Disc requires an AACS decoding library and your system does not have one” always happen and are difficult to solve. Therefore, in this article, we will explain what BDMV files are and how to play BDMV files using a more professional BDMV Blu-ray Player VideoSolo.

CONTENTS 1. What is a BDMV file 2. How to open and play BDMV using BDMV Player for Windows/Mac

Main video formats

A format or codec is a set of commands required to recognize the data in a file and convert it into video that is displayed on the screen. Their number is increasing every day, so manufacturers are constantly updating the firmware of TVs and teaching them to play an increasing number of codecs.

The main types of codecs that are highly popular include MKV, MPEG, H 264, XVID and DVX, as well as some others.

MKV

This is a type of video container similar to MOV, MPG and AVI codecs. May contain subtitles as well as multiple audio tracks placed in a single file format. Popular among high-quality video fans, it is used to broadcast content on the Internet. You can use the video in this extension to check the HDR capabilities of your TV set.

MPEG

The oldest and most common format. Over the years, it has been constantly refined and changed, so several varieties of it have appeared.

Now common:

MPEG-1 is a codec used for Video CDs, originally used everywhere;
MPEG-2 – TS files, the format in which dvb-t2 digital TV broadcasts and DVDs are recorded;
MPEG-4 is the most common type of audio and video compression. It is used in streaming video, recording content onto optical discs, and in video communication programs (Skype, Viber, etc.).

H 264

Another name for this codec is Advanced Video Coding or AVC. Allows you to compress the video stream as much as possible, but at the same time provides amazing picture quality. It is the most efficient part of the MPEG-4 Part 10 format.

Area of application: recording and playing video content from DVD and Blu-Ray discs. Compared to other codecs, it has a number of advantages.

XVID and DivX

Two competing technologies that are supported by players for video playback in modern television receivers.

Other formats

In addition to those mentioned above, videos can be in other formats - 3GP, FLV, MOV, MVC, etc. They are less popular, so not all TVs are capable of playing video in this extension.

Re: How to make TV read bdmv files

Paha , this is all wonderful, of course, but local psychics have been in Moscow for a long time, a TV model to begin with? Why should bdmv be read - not all mkvs even digest it?

Re: How to make TV read bdmv files

you need to buy a player and don’t have to invent anything, either Dune if you have the money or O!Play BDS-700/IconBit HD600CORE

I have IconBit mkv, there is no Blu-ray) but I don’t need Blu-ray, I watch BD-Remix in mkv at most (my player chews 30-40GB)

radiomehanik2008 , bent) a couple of nights, although it depends on the machine, it takes me a couple of hours

Re: How to make TV read bdmv files

fear1001 , their hardware is about the same, it's all about the software; I have an old IconBit flashed in HD O'Play of the first generation. works on 5+ (IP/TV+player+NAS+media services, torrents, wifi b etc. not installed but it is possible, although the plugins are outdated and need to be updated)

so the inability to cook does not mean bad hardware.

the forums are always full of something, about mine it’s written that it’s buggy, but nevertheless it works and doesn’t glitch at all, the main thing is to do everything correctly, flash the free boot, then a new firmware, one of 3 to choose from, and be happy

What formats does a modern TV support?

Modern TVs can play video in different formats differently. Moreover, differences can appear not only between brands, but also within models of the same manufacturer, depending on price, functionality, processor installed in the television receiver and other factors.

In addition, videos in the same extension may not play due to inappropriate resolution, frequency, bitrate, etc. Knowing information about the formats supported by the television receiver will allow you to determine which televisions support digital television and in what form to record files on a USB drive for subsequent playback of 4K movies, 3D movies or other content on the television panel.

TV owners interested in what formats are supported by LG, Samsung, Philips, as well as support for Sony Bravia codecs, need to know that television receivers of these brands will read video such as AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, MP4 and other types, popular.

Playback information for less common codecs, such as Div X3, varies from brand to brand.

Supported devices

Smart TV 2011 models LED D7000 and later, PDP D8000 and later. 2012 models LED ES7500 and later, PDP E8000 and later. 2013 Models LED F4500 and later (except F9000 and later), PDP F5500 and later. 2014 models H4500, H5500 and later (except H6003/H6103/H6153/H6201/H6203). 2015 models J5500 and later (except J6203). 2021 Models K4300, K5300 and later. ※ Supported TV models vary by region.
Mobile devices Android OS 4.1 and later. iOS 7.0 and later
Computers Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) Intel Pentium CPU 1.8 GHz or faster (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz or faster recommended) 2 GB RAM ( recommended) VGA adapter supporting 1024 x 768 resolution, 32-bit or higher

Where to see what formats TV reads

To find out in what extension the files are read by a Samsung, Thomson or other brand TV and to determine in what format to save the video on a flash drive for later viewing on a television receiver, you need to refer to the instructions for the device.

Usually it contains a table that contains information about the codecs supported by the TV receiver. If the instructions are lost, you can open the manufacturer’s official website and find the necessary information about the codecs that the television panel recognizes. If the format of the desired movie does not match those recognized by the TV, the user can convert it to the required one using special programs.

What is a BDMV file

Files with the .bdmv extension are most often associated with Blu-ray movie information files. These files describe the contents of the associated Blu-ray movie disc and may include information about movie file names and movie directory locations, movie objects, and movie file audio data. (Source : file.org)

# Different BDMV files store different information:

• index.bdmv: describes the contents of the file in the BDMV directory; located in the BDMV and BDMV/BACKUP directories.

• MovieObject.bdmv: describes one or more movie objects; located in the BDMV and BDMV/BACKUP directories.

• sound.bdmv: an optional file that associates one or more sounds associated with HDMV interactive graphics stream applications

; located in the BDMV/AUXDATA directory.

# BDMV files can be found in:

• AVCHD folders of HD camcorders (BDMV and CERTIFICATE) with M2TS extension files. For a Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder, AVCHD files will have the MTS extension.

• Blu-ray disc with BDMV folder and files with BDMV extension.

• Ripped Blu-ray DVD movies, the entire folder structure is contained in the BDMV folder structure with M2TS extension files.

• Blu-ray movie with BDMV & CERTIFICATE folder, one subfolder in BDMV folder is Stream folder, and in this folder, there is MTS extension file.

Why doesn't the TV play video, although its format is in the passport?

There are a number of reasons why a television receiver does not reproduce a certain format, although it is indicated in the manual. Firstly, this is an incorrect resolution or frame size.

The TV menu usually has built-in modes 16:9, 4:3, enlarged, etc., they contain fixed image size values. If the picture has different parameters, the television receiver will not be able to reproduce it. The second reason is the data transfer speed.

If it is higher than acceptable, the TV processor will not be able to recognize the information and reproduce it. If the bitrate is lower than allowed, the audio and video tracks will be out of sync, and the picture will freeze. The third reason for this device behavior may be incorrect video recording. You need to check whether the file was correctly written to the flash drive for viewing, and make sure that it is not damaged.

If the content was downloaded from the Internet or played online on a TV with a Smart TV function, you should make sure that it is completely downloaded. If the user tries to watch a file captured with a digital photo or video camera, the TV may not play it back. This is because cameras have their own types of video, which may differ from those recognized by television receivers.

Conclusion For users interested in how to find out what video formats the TV can play, it is recommended that you refer to the operating instructions or search for information on the manufacturer's website.

The most popular formats, for example, AVI or MPEG-4, are played by almost all TVs; information on less common ones is best looked at in official sources.

How does HbbTV work?

The operating principle of the interactive service is based on the simultaneous connection of the subscriber to two networks:

Broadcast network – DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C. Through it, regular broadcasts are broadcast on TV. Standard audio and video content is not managed.
The Internet, which provides two-way communication and makes it possible to receive additional interactive data.

If a TV with a built-in HbbTV function is not connected to the Internet, the subscriber will be able to watch broadcasts and take part in quizzes. However, access to other additional functions remains closed until the Internet connection is activated.
