[SOLVE] How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

Im not a tech kind of girl all i know is this is supposed to be a digicam with media player that plays mp3 and video i have no problem putting mp3 i love music the problem is when i tried putting mp4 video it doesn't show anything? i tried converting it to quicktime avi but it only shows its thumbmail view but when i try to play the player freezes?

It says it plays mp4 but when i put mp4 files it says file error? I think its made from china so i tried AMV still nothing? I tried reading from this forum similar problem still im clueless?

Help! its killing my brain!

thanks in advance

most mp4 players dont play mp4 files and since yours doesnt play even amv files, it maybe a rockchip player that plays avi files.

try this to convert your files and then see if it works

I tried converting using the avconverter it shows the thumbmail view but when i tried to play it my player freezes? i have to remove the battery just to turn it off? any idea?

here is the link of my player http://www.aosta.com.tw/EN/new-1/DV680.htm

many thanks in advance i would really enjoy watching mini clips on this i nearly tried everything still doesnt play? help!

FOOL , your player might be running a Sunplus chipset as it has a video recorder.

Try recording a video clip with the camera, does it play correctly on the player?

Re: How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

Yes i can record video with it and plays ok, my only problem is i also wanted to watch mini clips or music videos i just don't know what kind of video format it plays with? hmmm i have read similar problems in this forum some says if its made from china hongkong or taiwan its probably AMV i tried converting to amv but the player doesn't read it but when i convert it to avi quicktime the player reads it and it shows it thumbmail view but when i play the player just freezes?

thanks guys i really appreciate all your help!
By the way whats a Sunplus chip and if ever what video format does a Sunchip player recognize? i tried converting nearly all video format either file error or nothing?

I tried converting it to amv the player doesn't read it
I tried converting to avi according to deepakrr the player reads and show its thumbmail but when i press play the player freezes.

I think its similar to theose mp4 player with 2mp camera, it also records videos and capture still images and its made form china i think?
Anything else? lols :oops:

FOOL , upload the video clip you recorded to uploaded.to or savefile.com
post the link here and i'll try to find out the settings and format it uses.

Re: How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

I have uploaded to uploded.to http://uploaded.to/?id=a58o4n
You'll be able to find out the format it uses? COOL ! ! ! You can do that? Nice i find this very interesting im learning little by little thanks so much!

FOOL , try encoding your videos to .AVI with XVID codec. Resolution at 320x240 30FPS.

Set to these settings and encode, then try to play on your player again.

Converting to AVI(xvid video, mp3 audio) . . . . . . . . . .
then putting it on my player when i try to play it says FILE ERROR !

FOOL , try loading this clip into your player and play it. http://www.savefile.com/files/483904

This is the properties of the sample you uploaded.

PIC_0076.AVI,
4.2 mB, no subtitles , XviD MPEG4 Codec, 320x240 pixels,
00:00:00:51 sec., 30.00 (30.0003) frames per sec.,
Microsoft ADPCM Format, 130 kbit, 16000 Hz, 2 chan

Make sure when you convert that you use the correct audio format.

Download this video clip and let me know if it works in your player.
(It will not be full screen for you)

Re: How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

The 3 samples can be viewed as thumbmails when i try to play them my player freezes? I cant imagine this being soOo complicated?

It hurts my brain! :oops:

By the way i made some research

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_MP4/MTV_Player

Do i have to try converting to all this video format just to make sure? Or my player is on XviD MPEG4 Codec format like you said?

MTV Video Format
AMV Video Format
ATV Video Format
ACT Audio Format
SMV Video Format

eeer? Im lost am i? chuckles* :oops:

The difference between the video you uploaded (which I assume works ok) and the 3 samples is the audio format. Make sure that when you convert your videos you use Xvid mpeg4 with "microsoft ADPCM Format" audio. The standard avi players use MP2 audio and when using a video with mp3 audio you get a format error, You may be experiencing the same problem of using the correct audio format.

I tried converting in Xvid mpeg4 but i dont know about the microsoft ADPCM Format so i did was i disable the audio? Just want to try if the video could be played, when i do that it says FILE ERROR ! But if i convert it in Xvid mpeg4 mp3 audio the player identify it as video but when i try to play it freezes my player? maybe its the sound thingy? wich is i dont understand microsoft ADPCM Format?

Meaning to say the video format are correct thats why the player recognize it as a video but when i try to play it freezes because of the wrong audio format?

Re: How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

I'm stupid enough to do this http://http://i53.photobucket.com/al...omplicated.jpg

But still my player freezes? waaa! why does this comes with a converter of its own? soOo complicated!

Re: How to play video on Aosta DV680
 

To lattesurf and avionik99 I converted a clip to:

Video: XviD MPEG4 Codec, 320x240 pixels
Audio: adpcm_ms, 22050 Hz, stereo, 178 kb/s

Close to the properties of the sample

PIC_0076.AVI,
4.2 mB, no subtitles , XviD MPEG4 Codec, 320x240 pixels,
00:00:00:51 sec., 30.00 (30.0003) frames per sec.,
Microsoft ADPCM Format, 130 kbit, 16000 Hz, 2 chan

Again it only shows the thumbmail view then freezes

The problem maybe the audio how can i change the 22050Hz to the sample 16000Hz and the 178kb to 130kb? weeee maybe im much closer to the solution eh? :roll:

maybe your mp4 player has a setting which allows video to be played in different views and its set to Thumbnail view.

refer to your manual and see if there is anything like that and if there is set it to Normal.

FOOL , as avionik99 mentioned, most likely it would be the audio codec. Unfortunately my encoder don't have that audio codec, although the nearest i could get was Waveform PCM (.wav).
Perhaps you can look around for other video encoders.
