Most AVI files I have playback just fine on my Live Plus. Several AVI files do not and I get an error about the format not being supported. Examining the codec information for both a working AVI and a not-working AVI, I’m not seeing any differences that would cause this problems. I’m posting this here in hopes that someone else can spot what I may be missing. If both files are in fact compatible with the Live Plus…what else could be causing the issue??
Here is a working AVI:
