I would buy converter software if I could find one that will do the job. The player plays .avi but I have downloaded and tried many converters - free and trial - and I can't find one that will do the job. Some require you to choose from a variety of options when you either don't know for certain what the format you want is or you can't fathom out how to enter it, others force a fixed ratio, eg: Super won't let me enter a size of 176x220 (it changes it to 176x224). The test video on my player shows 176x220 and objects to anything else. Others seem to produce the right specs. but the player still won't play it.

Someone must have succeeded. The AVIConverter 4 (with the latest converter.ini as in posts above) converts to 224 width x 176 height but the test video is 176 width x 220 height. As thats the file which plays perfectly I guess it has to be that format.
