Hello,

I have problems with an avi file. I can’t see the picture I only hear the sound when trying to play it with TV Live. Here are info from MediaInfo. Can this be solved?

Thanks,

Gregory

That’s an FFmpeg -specific codec.

Don’t think it’s supported by many (any?) hardware-based players.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your answer. So the only solution is to recode it? Any good tool to do this?

Thanks,

Gregory
