That's strange cause "Action" chipset players can only play .AMV video files and not AVI files at all. You said in your earlier post that your player plays .AVI video files though....?

Says it plays "avi without converting' which is very handy and means it's not an Action or Rockhip chipset player.

without converting it's not exact i have to use convert that you tell (mp4 to avi) me to parse avi in 320*240 . because if you paste avi whithout doing anything it tell you bad video format.

perhaps its a new chipset the reason why easychip tell us only action in the first line and nothing more.

I will try to open it if i found ouw to do ...

I just happen to put a MP4 file on this thing and it played just fine.
Since, I have used FormatFactory to convert videos to a 320x240 MP4 files and they all play great. Note: Increase the Frames per second >20 to get smoother video.
Yes it does not like AVI much
