I know the USB is 'choosy' about which formats it will playback, but is there a definitive list out there - and please don't say 'avi' without giving the full details!

It will playback the following for definite in a transport stream container.
576i with mp2 stereo audio
1080i with ac3 or aac audio (2.0 or 5.1)
1080p24 audio as aboveDTS-HD loopthrough isn't supported (not sure about DTS).
I haven't tried 1080p50 (If you wish I can try some content from my camcorder).

Thanks for the info - that will help. I know it won't do .mkv, but what about the mpg /mp4?. I thought I saw a list of general formats in the manual - or somewhere, but have been unable to track anything down -anyone?
I don't suppose there's a list of usable avi codecs out there?

AVI isn't a codec it's a container and it can contain a enormous number of variations, ranging from uncompressed content (massive files) and a large range of compression codecs and a almost unlimited range of resolutions. I haven't tried to see if .AVI files are recognised.
DV camcorders produce digital files in an AVI container. SD DV compression produces large files (Approx 20 mins of content uses about 4GB of storage)
MKV is also a container which provided the actual video and audio content is supported I guess MKV will work the same as the same content contained in a .ts container.
mpeg2, mpeg4, and H264/AVC all work OK. Broadcast Digital TV uses mpeg2 for SD and H264/AVC for HD channels.
