I'm unable to play video on my new player comes up with "file format error"

[GrimNir]

I am unable to get any videos to play to my new player. I've used numerous different converters and on 13 different avi files.
I had partial success with magic avi converter. I shrunk 13 files to 320x240 avi, and all but one came up "file format error". Weirdest, when I retried to duplicate this and converted the same one that worked the first time, every subsequent one of them came back "file format error".

Here's a picture, the operating system/firmware shown is the one on this player.




the operating system firmware in settings is
version: 1018_090212_dev_6p_CM_8x

anyone any ideas how I can get this to play video files please.

All help greatly needed and even more appreciated. Please and thank you

These players are very fussy when it comes to playing videos. The "file format error" messages you get when playing videos generally means the player needs the videos to be in a certain setting (w x h resolution) and frame rate. A lot of members have had success with the freeware program viDrop so I would recommen you try it too and see how you go.

You can download viDrop from here: Download viDrop from MyMPx.org

It will be a big help if you try the sample videos here:-

They will tell you the correct setting to use in viDrop.

Hi

Downloaded all the test video's... it won't play any of them! ........ contemplating giving up and getting a RAmos T17FHD player instead

Have you tried using viDrop and using the 320 x 240 resolution setting to convert your videos and see if that works?

Also, can you upload the sample video somewhere so we can take a look at it?

download "mediainfo" and check out the specs of the video you have done against the provided ones, it maybe the audio or bitrate is too high - oh, and yes, give up and get the ramos it looks like a cracking player with excellent codec support and no need to (mostly) re-size vids

Out of 14 files I converted with v drop 1 worked. I'll upload all the files that have actually worked for you to see.
By all, I converted numerous using avi converter - one worked. Numerous using magic avi converter 1 worked.
I copy the frame rate size ratio audio file size and channels of the ones that work and try to reproduce them, but nothing ever works twice.

I have radidshare I'll upload them now and post tomorrow

[makd511]

just upload one that does not work for now so we can test it on other players, it maybe a corrupt codec or formattign errors with your programs, i get this now and again with one program i use

These are the only ones I got to work
