Hi again,
I just wrote a log reply only to lose it somehow
The player I have is almost the same as the one shown in the posting:
"file format error" when playing .avi file
I can't get video to play!
The menu is the same. The only difference is in the controls.
The instruction book says it plays .avi files and uses a program called AVIConverter to convert various other formats to this. The problem is that all the versions of this program I have found convert to 224x176 - portraite. My player will only accept 176x220 - landscape.
I need a program which will do this and rotate the image to fit.
The video file which comes ready installed has the following attributes as shown in VLC Media Info:
Stream 0
Codec: XVID
Language:
Type: Video
Resolution: 176x220
Frame rate: 18.0000
Stream 1
Codec: mpga
Language:
Type: Audio
Channels: 2
Sample rate: 44100 Hz
Bitrate: 64kb/s
General
Duration: 0:03:30
Meta-information
Setting: HAS_INDEX IS_INTERLEAVED TRUST_CKTYPE
(that's how it's written)
When I convert a file using MP4 converter the following info is shown using Windows Properties Summary:
Width 176
Height 220
Audio Biterate 64kbs
Audio format MPEG Layer - 3
Video frame rate 18
Data rate 62kbps
Video sample size 24 bit
Video compression XVID
The picture is not rotated to landscape.
The file does not play, giving a "file format error".
The video supplied with the player has the same figures except:
The Audeo format is MPEG Level 2
The Video data rate is 104kbps
The video sample size is 12 bit.
The picture is in landscape format.
If you coulld give me any help regarding this I would be most grateful.
Regards,
glms
