Part 1: Why MOV File Cannot Be Played on Sony Bravia TV <\/h2>\n
Let’s firstly get into a deep understanding of Sony Bravia TV and MOV file format. It might be known to all that Sony Bravia TV actually means all high-definition flat-panel LCD televisions with a Bravia logo distributed in North America by Sony Visual Products Inc., a subsidiary company wholly owned by Sony Corporation. There are quite a lot of Sony Bravia TV models, like BX series, EX series, NX series, LX\/HX series, NSX series, Android TV series, etc. Sony Bravia TV supports video playback through USB drive. Videos saved in MP4, MOV, ASF, MKV, 3GPP, AVI etc. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nOn the other hand, MOV is a commonly used video format that contains both audio and video. An MOV file uses less compression to store files and takes up more space than many other video formats\u2014like MPEG and MOV. AVI files also can be created without the use of compression at all. This makes the files lossless, which results in immensely larger file sizes \u2014 approximately 2-3 GB per minute of video. You could open MOV files with multiple media players like Windows Media Player, VLC, Free Blu-ray Player<\/a>, MPlayer, etc. <\/p>\n
Then, why can\u2019t you play back MOV files back on Sony Bravia TV even MOV is accepted by Sony Bravia TV? That\u2019s because Sony HDTVs that are capable of playing MOV video files are only compatible with videos encoded in the H.264 or MPEG4 video format. If an MOV file is not in the H.264 or MPEG4 codec, it will not work on the Sony Bravia HDTV. Also, MOV files encoded with the DivX codec can be played, as DivX is a modified version of the MPEG4 video format. Therefore, if you find your MOV files couldn\u2019t be played back by Sony Bravia TV through USB drive, you need to transcode the MOV files to h.264 or mpeg codec, which will be detailed described below.<\/p>\n
