I bought this item mainly to play mp4 files but when I tried none of my mp4 files would play - "unsupported file format" was the error message. I tried the photo function for playing slide shows of jpg files and that worked fine. I produce my own mp4s using an iMac and iMovie as well as one other software program so I thought this could be a compatibility problem. I contacted the Diamond support desk and they were quite helpful although they confirmed the problem was that there are several types of mp4 files and the ones produced by my Mac weren't compatible with the HD Diamond. There is a solution though if you're faced with this dilemma. I checked and found DivX conversion software ([...]) and downloaded the trial version and converted my unplayable mp4 file to a DivX file which played with no problems on my TV using the HD Diamond Media Wonder. This software costs about $10 so it's an added cost if you have a Mac. I have no idea if Windows-produced...

Do yourself a favor and find at least a good player and do not be taken in by this. It works somewhat, but has a bad habit of freezing up and also every time you have to find something new you have to go through the entire list to get back to the folder you was in, it doesn't just automatically go back like you would expect it to, annoying to say the least especially if you have a ton of digital files on a hard drive and you're switching episodes in a season of whatever... If you do get it, good luck, but really I wouldn't waste the stamp again to try to send off for the rebate here is what they emailed me:Dear XXX XXXX Thank you for submitting your recent Mail-In Rebate Application. We have reviewed your claim and discovered... Read more 19 of 23 people found the following review helpful  Works Great! Great Price! Easy to Use!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Diamond HD Media Wonder Mini Media Player (Electronics) Like the the title says the Diamond Multimedia Mini Wonder MP700 PlayerWorks Great and at the price (I ordered at the $32.99 price and also got the $20 mail-in rebate bringing the price down to a whopping $12.99 incl. shipping) how could anyone complain - as the other reviewers stated 'it mostly does what is stated that it's capable of... That is it plays many formats streamed to ANY television. I could see how this would be a nice feature for older flat panel wide-screen TV's but It seems many of the newer LED Flat panel TV's have this technology built in - they come with USB and Memory Card slots to allow playing of data files. Where this little unit really shines is for use with old-school analog tube TV's. With only an RCA plug for L/R and Video I'm able to watch (with very nice quality I might add) all the content on my little 500GB WD Passport portable USB drive (no additional power supply needed - the Mini Wonder provides all the power needed to run...
