[solved] Please help with unknown mp4 player video format

[UnknownCloud]

Hello all,

I recently purchased an "mp5" player (pics attached) but I am unable to play an videos. I know that avi files work on it, but there seems to be a problem when I convert any mpg or flv files to avi. I get an error message "Exceptional file. Play any other file." when I try to play an avi file on it.
Firmware: v.8.1.090816_8_12_17

Would be grateful for any help in how to convert to that particular type of avi file, as I have tried everything I know of, tried using same ratio, bitrate, etc, and had a look at several forums.

Many thanks in advance

Hello Cloud,

did you tried these Rockchip-Testvideos too ? Download Sample Rockchip videos with different screen sizes - MyMPxDownloads

Please download them and follow the instructions. The played video should show you the right kind of values you're needing about conversion. Try these values with viDrop.

Hi lca77,

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I downloaded the test videos, and figured out the correct values.
Converted & added files to the player, but battery seems to drain very quickly. Btw, the settings that worked for my player are 128 x 160, 12fps, mp2.

Thanks again lca77
