I have a problem playing transferred home movies on a flat screen tv through the “TV Out” feature of my Iphone 4.

I have captured about a TB worth of various home movie videos from VHS tape to my PC hard drive. I then converted these AVI files to M4V to play on Iphone & Itunes. I then copied these M4V video files to a Western Digital “My Book Live” NAS Drive which allows me to view any video using my Iphone, via a WD app, without using Iphone internal memory.

The problem is that I cannot play these videos through “TV Out” on my Iphone when connected to a flat screen TV. Apple techs told me that TV Out is only good with videos recorded from Iphone and stored in the internal memory of Iphone.

So my question is: Is there any way to access my NAS drive (which has all videos stored) and play those videos on flat screen TV via Iphone TV Out cable hook-up?

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I’m driving myself nuts over this.

Sincerely,
Don S.
