    I am trying to fine the magic settings to encode video for my auto head unit (Soundstream VIR-7355NBRT). It is suppose to support MP4, and I have found a video which it will play (attached). But, try as I might with my encodint tool (Super), I can't seem to get another video file to play on the unit after I encode it to MP4.

    AVICodec says the file which works is Apple Quicktime MPEG-4 Native.
    I have tried all flavors of MPEG-4 in Super without any luck.

    Can somebody take a look at the attached video, and tell me what encoding settings I should use to produce a video which matches it is container, video and audio codec?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Well, guess I can't attach a file, and the site I got it from (www.mp4point.com) seems to be down right now, so I can't provide the link. The video that works is eva-longoria-nurse.mp4. Sorry I can't provide the link or attach the file for analysis.

    Perhaps my problem is related to constant vs. variable bitrate? How do you set Super to encode MP4 at a constant bitrate?
