USB file format

It is hard to find good information on exactly what A/V (movie) file formats are supported and which aren't.

So I performed some tests with different files to see what would play and what wouldn't. I then used mplayer to determine the file format of each file tested:

mplayer -msglevel identify=4 -frames 0 <filename>
