Burn it to a dvd, sounds a lot easier.

I know that with my Kenwood unit, it won't play video files off the USB. If you put them on a disc they should work fine. Kenwood likes .mpg, but .avi divx encoded video should work as well.

That's good to know. I am going to have to try changing the extensions. You didn't actually convert the video file? So they are playing from your USB drive with the .mpg extension?
