You kids stay off my lawn!
My 2019 TV is smarter than the rest of my 2005 equipment. Thanks to Colobuck, I have an MP 4 file of the 2019 The Game. It won't play on my 2005 Sony Blu-Ray DVD player. I bought a Blu-Ray recorder and can now play the file on my computer thru VLC. I can also save the file to my VLC, but I can't get it to copy onto a thumb drive which I am led to believe will allow me to play it on my TV. Anyone know how to do this?

If your computer had an HDMI output I'd say just play it on your computer and have it display on the tv via HDMI. But the fact that you're asking the question suggests that's not an option.

I'm assuming the MP4 is on a disk. There might be a way where you can get it onto the thumb drive, but I don't know what it is short of buying new hardware.

The computer is a three-year-old Mac Mini. sorry for not mentioning the file was on a disc. I can burn another disc in a different format if I knew what format a 2005 Blu-Ray Sony would accept. Is there a common commercial format?

Yeah, I'm really that tech stupid.
