How to Play MP4 on DVD Player from USB?

Depending on what DVD player model you use, the answer could vary. You have to look at the manual and see what formats your DVD player support exactly.

But newer DVD models have MP4 support now.

If you can’t play MP4 on your DVD player, you can buy a portable DVD player that plays MP4 from USB.
