I have an unbranded mp4 player from china and everything works great except for the video. The sample video that came with the device plays perfectly but I cannot put my own on. I have used about 10 different converters as well as the one that came with the player to no avail. It says (in broken english) that it accepts avi files but darn if I cant get it to work. I transfered the avi file that came with the player to my hdd and used GSpot codec finder to get the codec info from the one file that does work...the log file is below.... _______________________________________________________________________ FILE_NAME binhe.avi FILE_NAME_WITH_PATH C:\Documents and Settings\something\Desktop\binhe.avi FILE_SIZE 4,584,800 CONT_AUDIO_STREAM_COUNT 1 CONT_BASETYPE AVI(.AVI) CONT_BYTES_MISSING 0 CONT_INTERLEAVE_ALIGN Split CONT_INTERLEAVE_PRELOAD 522 CONT_INTERLEAVE_TIME 50 CONT_SUBTYPE AVI v1.0, CONT_TOTAL_BITRATE 0 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_AVI1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_AVI2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_CVD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_CVD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_DVD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_DVD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_SVCD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_SVCD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_VCD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_VCD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_SOURCE_MATCH VIDEO_ASPECT_TYPE_NTSC VIDEO_ASPECT_TYPE_PAL VIDEO_BITRATE 318 VIDEO_CODEC_NAME XviD 1.1.0 Final VIDEO_CODEC_STATUS Codec(s) are Installed VIDEO_CODEC_TYPE XVID VIDEO_DAR 1.250 VIDEO_DURATION 1:19.900 VIDEO_FIELDS_PER_SEC VIDEO_FRAME_COUNT 1598 VIDEO_FRAMES_PER_SEC 20.000 VIDEO_H264 VIDEO_MPEG2 VIDEO_MPEG2_3X2 VIDEO_MPEG2_BFF VIDEO_MPEG2_I_L VIDEO_MPEG2_PPF VIDEO_MPEG2_PROG VIDEO_MPEG2_TFF VIDEO_MPEG4 MPEG-4 VIDEO_MPEG4_BVOP VIDEO_MPEG4_GMC VIDEO_MPEG4_NVOP N-VOP VIDEO_MPEG4_QPEL VIDEO_PAR 1.000 VIDEO_PICS_PER_SEC 20.000 VIDEO_QF 0.776 VIDEO_SAR 1.250 VIDEO_SIZE_X 160 VIDEO_SIZE_Y 128 AUDIO_BITRATE 128 AUDIO_BITRATE_TYPE CBR AUDIO_CHANNEL_COUNT 2 AUDIO_CODEC 0x0050 MPEG-1 Layer 2 AUDIO_CODEC_STATUS Codec(s) are Installed AUDIO_MPEG_STREAM_ID AUDIO_MPEG_SUBSTREAM_ID AUDIO_SAMPLE_RATE 44100 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help would be greatly appreciated. All I want to do is put some vids of my kids and pets on the damn thing and need to know how. BTW I am a computer tech and am very knowledgeable but am almost clueless when it comes to codecs and how or why they work. Best Regards; DJ Tantrix
