USB video?

[Tdk408]

While fiddling with the radio, I saw that "video" is listed as a media type under USB.

Does anyone know the specifics as to what is supported?

(I tried to search this forum, but the term "video" was ignored. :| )

Thanks!

I know you have to activate the divx with a special file, which I did just so it was done, but I've never tried to watch a movie. The owner's manual highlights the other details:

Thanks for the URL to the manual! Sweet.

I discovered another stumbling block. It appears that the unit requires the video to be sized to exactly 720x576! What a PITA. But no other AVI or MP4 files I tried would play unless they were this size.
