Hi Snowman,

When using Aviconverter4, what is very important ( I found ) is that the output file (i.e. the one you are creating) must have .avi manually typed in for the file name.

e.g. a file which has been created on Aviconverter named "movie" will not work....but "movie.avi" should do (in my experience).

By the way, with almost 100% certainty, .avi movies you download from the NET will not work directly on this machine - they need to be converted into a very specific Rockchip-friendly format, which Aviconverter does.

For example, it will just completely refuse a movie which is not in its native resolution of 220x176.

I want you to try and get successes out of Aviconverter first, as it is the most straight-forward piece of software for converting to Rockchip formats. Once this is achieved, I will tell you about the delights of Xilisofts DVD2MP4 converter (a bit more complicated to use, costs $44, but does give better results). If you can get Aviconverter to work, we know your machine is a 'goodun' ! :lol:

Snowman, please let us know if this helps!!

PS - please don't be tempted to update your firmware (until you decide to get experimental!) as this will almost certainly screw up your player until you find the appropriate firmware and Consumer Update combination (Needle in a haystack!)
