Videos failing to work

Rork · #1 (**permalink**) 9th Mar 2010, 12:35 am

I just received a new MP4 player from Hong Kong. Music works fine but other then the sample video I have not been able to get any video to run.

Purchased:http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_4609wt_882 (Screen image not as shown)

Under version it shows:
Software: Spring MLC V3.0.3
Hardware: Magic V2
(Chipgenius did not recognise chip)

Screen is 320*240 resolution (At least according to seller)

Sample video is an AVI which is what I have been using
Either says the file does not exist or that there has been a format error

Any help would be appreciated.

Sample is here SAMPLE VIDEO

Try the "Generic Rockchip 320x240 high-Preset" in viDrop and change the framerate to 20fps instead of 24fps.

Unfortantly that didn't do it.

just gave me "The file does not exist".

The file your link points to seems to be corrupted in some way so I cannot examine the specifications.
Two possibilities (1) you are not encoding to the specification that the hardware demands and/or (2) you have a hacked player and you are loading your .avi into faulty or non-existent memory.
Try encoding a very short (couple of seconds only) clip and see if that works.
If you want to provide a new link to the demo file I may be able to tell you avi specification that you need.
