Hero Vid Playback

[Kassude]

Sorry for not finding the right topic to ask and blablabla.

But, can i not watch movies with my hero? First of all, i noticed that it doesn't play avi files (which is quite weird), but after converting my avi files (with nero recode) to mp4 320x480, they still wont work. The sound from the movie file works, but no picture. Tested with a few different media player, same thing with all of them.

MP4 isnt a codec, it's a container. You need to select a compatible codec that works with the Hero. H.264 is the best choice, but it also supports H.263 and WMV9.

just use software than can convert to iphone and it should work. Handbreak is free. takes abit long to encode but the quality is excellent.

There is a free app I use all the time called WinFF, it even has an Android profile. It uses Directshow and has been able to convert anything I've thrown at it except for a few quicktime/mov files that have some kind of weird audio. That may be because I don't have the right Quicktime version installed on my pc.
