All services › Play it on an old TV
What we do
- Makes an AVI file with the classic video and sound most older players accept.
- Sizes the picture to match older screens.
- Ready to copy to a USB stick or burn to a disc.
Who it is for
Good for a grandparent with an older TV, a DVD player with a USB port, or a hotel or church system that only plays old files.
How it works
Add your video, choose "Play it on an old TV", and watch a free preview. If it looks right, pay $2.99 and download the finished file. Your files are deleted soon after.
Which TVs does this work with?
Most TVs and players from roughly the 2000s to the early 2010s read AVI from a USB stick. Newer TVs usually play the "any phone or computer" option too. If you are unsure, check the player's manual for supported file types.
