I tried playing a MP4 file (which I can play on my computer) and the video was blank, the audio seemed ok. I searched other posts which refrenced problems with m p4 but could find nothing conclusive, maybe I missed something.
Is there anything which can be done?
I am running the latest firmware updated a couple of weeks ago.
I have renamed the file *.avi but it still does not play. When I try it either goes back to the folder view or starts up after 10-15 sec delay but only playing chopppy sound.

Just because you change the extension, doesn’t turn it into a different format.
Get ffmpeg.exe from somewhere, ie http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ at (32-bit Builds (Static)), place the ffmpeg.exe file into the same folder as your AVI-turned-MP4, files, open a command-prompt for that folder and enter:
Alternatively just create a new text-file in the same folder, paste the above line into it, save the text file, rename it to “something.bat” and doubleclick on it.
Very cool stuff with ffmpeg, thanks! The picture is perfect as a result but the sound is still the samne choppy. Is it worth trying MKVMerge to see if it has an effect?
Thanks. I tried mkvmerge to output a mkv file, which worked fine. However the audio is still the same. I have to give this one up and abandon the file. Thanks for your help.
