My AVI Files Won't Play I used the AVI Converter software that cae with the Latte to convert a digital copy of a DVD, but while the movie appears to convert, when I try to play it, all I see is little colored squares. I also have the same problem with files on my computer that are already in the AVI format. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Found the problem, it's a url, even though it doesn't have a referrer in it, which according to the policy THEY directed me to says is what not to do. False advertising and inaccurate policy enforcement (or description) all from one company. So to get to the link I was trying to send you to, which is a great beginner's guide to this stuff, google (without the quotes) "video format guide sp/asp" and go to the first link

Anyways, just because you have to convert your avi files doesn't mean it doesn't play avi files. They're still avi's, just configured differently. Most of the ones you have are probably too high resolution or bitrate or have something else about them the Latte is incompatible with, so you have to reencode them to make them meet its requirements. They're still avi files, though.

Couple questions:-Did the smaller files you converted play on the Latte?-What software are you using to do the conversions?-I know bluray movies come with digital versions, but I've not heard of this on DVD's. I have no idea if they copy-protected it from being reconverted somehow, wouldn't make any sense, but then again, most of the stuff they do doesn't make sense. It sounds like it's probably copy-protection, but I can't say for sure. Is the picture scrambled on the computer, before loading it onto the Latte?

JVC MOD files open perfectly in Nero Vision. Renaming them to MPG for me caused them not to play correctly in WMP (and no sound), and they would not open in Quicktime Pro. Bad choice by JVC.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

Files are saved with an AVI extension. Can a Mac play AVI files? Can a Mac play AVI files with the right software?

I am getting a similar problem using dvd + r discs. I used to be able to record onto these discs, but now suddenly I keep getting the message: "This disc cannot be played. please check the disc". It is now impossible for me to record and may as well junk this machine and buy a more reliab le unit.

Hi there, Jennifer. Are you using Windows or Mac? Do you have a program that can convert video files into different movie files into .mov .mp4 .flv .avi etc. Basically, you just have to connect this Video Camera Sunglass via USB cable that was provided to you when you bought it. If you have a program that corresponds to the movie file generated by this product - I don't remember whether it was .mov or .avi file then you will be able to see it. If not, then you will have to transfer the file onto your desktop or wherever you choose to as long as you remember where it is and then open a program that can convert this file that corresponds to your media and then you will be able to see it. Let me know if it helps or if there is something that you do not understand with my answer.

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

Apparently its a format issue. Any disc with BD-Java encoding will not resume. I like the higher res of bluray but hate pretty much everything else about the format. It is not consumer friendly in the least.

Do you need to use sdcopy to get it onto your computer? If I used the imagemixer software to get it on my computer, how can I convert it to another file type? I have such simple requirements - my in laws want a copy of a video that I took. I don't want to have to install my image mixer software just so that they can watch it. It just doesn't make sense. I need more instruction. Can someone spell it out with little baby steps?

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?

When burning avi/divx files on a CD or DVD, just make sure that the disc is properly 'closed' and it is fit for use on a DVD player. It works fine then, otherwise u may face problems with a multi-session disk on this or other DVD players.If you are playing a file stored on a USB flash drive or hard disk, it should play anyway.

Ken - update! I took your advice and went to www.download.com, searched "avi rotate" and had success with Prism Video Converter! Thank you so much! And by the way, in the process, found out I can convert the mp4 format in Windows Live Photo Gallery, not to be confused with Windows Photo Gallery, which I had tried before. After the conversion, the instructions said to go to this site to rotate and I accidentally clicked on the mp4 photo ...and there it was ... rotated! But as I said before, I need AVI for uploading to my digital frame so I've had a good day ... thanks to you! You're my hero...take care. Ann Ken - update!

How does one convert the mov files into something that can be playable on non PC DVD players? All I can do is burn mov files onto DVD that play on PCs only. I'd like to be able to make DVDs to play on regular DVD players. Please help!

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

I simply renamed my xvid movie which usually has a .avi file extension to a .mpg file extension. Low and behold, the blu-ray player played it just fine with no conversion necessary. Surprise! (rolls eyes...)
