Tried converting to avi then amv with amv converter 3.57 but when It's put on the's nothing in the icon showing on the player.
Strange the file that's working is showing an avi file but have tried that as well.

Running out of ideas help anyone?

Hi, what are you using to convert your DVD to AVI?

Well I am at the point where I am about ready to give up on the video aspect of my player.

Good luck!

Martin, what ME2 player do you have? The one with the 2" screen? If so, it probably has the rockchip in it, and won't be able to play AMV files.

I was told to convert my movies to Xvid avi format. Did so, but the player won't play them. So right now i'm trying to figure out what bitrate to encode at. If i have success i'll check back in.

HI yes it is the 2" screen version I did try the xvid avi but mine wouldn't play either.
Gone a bit funny now.
I was thinking about re instaling the firmware but don't know what the firmware is or how to do it.
Regards, Martin.

My player came with a file called Customer data.rar. You can unrar that file and you'll find a file called CR010B_MLC_SPFD54126B_v20_11_23.rfw or somthing similar. Thats the firmware. In another directory in the same rar file there is a program called Consumer.exe . I believe that is the program you use to transfer the firmware to your player. I have not done it yet myself because the program doesn't work in Linux.

I will have a look.
I did find the customer data in the player but it won't open, will try and copy it and open in the computer.

HI got the player working at last.

The player was doing a lot of strange things so we decided to take a chance and format it through windows. This got the player working again.

We then followed some instructions from this forum on conversion settings for this player and bingo it worked.

I will run through what I did to resolve the issues with my ME2 with a 2" screen 2gb mp4 player.

I can only say that this worked for me.

Although the player wasn't showing any files when the drive was opened on the computer in properties it was showing nearly full so we decided to try and format it with windows xp, it was formated in FAT.

After this the drive was showing nearly 2gb in properties and all the menu system was still on the player so the firmware hadn't been altered.

Reading this site we found a conversion of avi file for this player which was:

Codex XviD movie avi, Vioeo size 224X176, Bit rate 400' Frame rate 20, Audio Codex mp2, Bit rate 96,

I used a converter called Imtoo which was given to me by a friend.

I hope this information help others with this player.

Martin.
