Default Re: "file format error" when playing .avi file

Hi,
Join the club!!

In another thread I have been airing the same problem. My player has a different button arrangement but is otherwise the same. It came with no software. I have been trying to get the supplier to tell me where to obtain the correct software but so far no joy.

The instruction book says AVIConverter 2.

I have tried both version 2 and 4. Both have the same problem.
The converted video is 224(width) x 176(height) - (for the 2" screen). The conversion plays fine using VLC media player.

The player appears to require (Obtained from Windows Summary) 176(width) x 220 (height) - note the 220.

I modified the Converter.ini file by swapping the figures round to get the width and height figures correct (but it does not rotate the the actual picture) and that's when I found it rejects 224 and needs 220.

However the file still fails to actually play correctly. Instead of giving a "file format error", it displays the first frame or so then there is a click on the sound and it jumps to the next video file (the supplied one).

So far I have not been able to find a program to do the job.
