that is a really shoddy encoded file !  :dizzy_face:  so many things wrong

Let me say NO … for a number of reasons

1)  PCM Audio is not Supported in a *.mov container

Page 219 in the User Manual : http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705123.pdf

  1. Maximum Bit Rate is  40 Mps for HD       Page 220 in the User Manual

  2. Image Size / Aspect Ratio is Wonky … 1024x720 ??  it should at Least be 1280 x720

  3. Lastly 4GB for a 8 Min Video file !!!  W…T…F

whoever encoded this file should be shot  retire :wink:

  1. Who encodes to MOV / Quicktime anymore ?  … MP4 is the standard for Apple/PC cross-compatability

P.S. if you post a mediainfo output logfile (instead of using VLC)  there will most probably be a ton of other things wrong with the file.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I got the file information from an artist. I know it is a fu**** up encoding. But I am getting the file on a usb stick a few days before the exhibition is opening and the exhibition space only have a wd tv as a media player.

sorry, did’nt mean to sound too harsh :smiley:

you will definately have to re-encode it to make it compatible with the WDTV (and any other Media Player for that matter)

try

Handbrake : https://handbrake.fr/

or

Avidemux : http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

you will also end up with a lot smaller file … probably around 200-300Mb, and the quality should look the same … also …compress the Audio as well … either AC3, AAC or MP3

once you done that, if you want … upload it to a mediahost eg. mediafire  https://www.mediafire.com/

Contact me via PM (top right of screen ) and send me the videolink

Then i can test the file on my various WDTV’s (Gen1, Live, Live Hub, 2014 WDTV) and see if the file plays ok

only If you want to … the offer is there (and privacy will be respected)
