OK, well I have used this many many times. You simply need to copy the Movie in any of the Formats that the set can use, and copy the Movie to the USB stick. When the stick is inserted, using the remote you simply "Select" that "USB Input" and select the Movie, and select "Play", IF the right Format, has been used, the Movie will "Play" as if it was a DVD.
Consult your manual. link below.

SOURCE: I have LCD TV LG

That is because the USB port is for servicing only and not for Video and audio.

SOURCE: My lg lcd tv has a usb port but only recognises

You need to activate it first, here are the steps:

1. Press the enter(OK) both on the remote and the TV at the same time...hold for about 5 seconds
2. Password - 0000
3. Go to tool option 3
4. Change Jpeg to 1
5. Change Divx to SD or HD
6. Exit and try it out.
You will notice that now there are 8 inputs in the option list instead of 6 - Including a USB input.


Hope this helps

SOURCE: I have the philips 120hz and some movies are smooth, others jump

I would advise knocking down the resolution. Try and use software, like red kawa, to convert a few of your movies to different formats till you find a decent one. A widely accepted codec setup is Divx/XVid (both are the same) and MP3 sound.

Why do I not have audio input on usb port?

Usually you play a movie that is stored on your USB ram disk that will plug into the USB port of your TV. The movie will then load into the TV's CPU via the USB port with both video and audio signals decompressed from within the TV's CPU, then the image will be displayed on TV while the audio will be output through the TV's speakers. So there is no need to have a separate audio input USB port.

My lg lcd tv 32CS410 has an usb port but only recognises photo and music. I would like to be able to play movies using the usb. Is this possible and if so how??

That's not possible as the TV would need software to decode and play the video. That model of LG TV isn't listed as being a "smart" tv that can play video files. You may have to look into a separate box that can play movie files like a Roku or an AppleTV
