Movie Player Troubles

[Ando]

I cant seem to get the movie player on my 2x to work properly, i have tried a couple of different video formats, divx and mpeg4, and i still cant get it to work

i will downlaod the movie onto my card but once i turn my 2x on and go into movies it doesnt recognize any files, almost like i never even put them on the card

i am wondering if this could have anything to do with my firmware, i updated it from a little while ago, would the mp3 player also be affected or am i just doing something wrong?

please help me out thanks in advance

Yep Im having problems too. I have converted a file into divx using Dr Divx, when played on the GP2X I have a scrambled picture (ie like a corrupted screen) but I do have sound. This also happens when i try a file that was encoded especially for the GP32 (worked fine on that) I've updated the firmware to 1.0.1 - would this be the reason why movie does not play properly. Would appreciate any advice - could it be awaiting another firmware fix???

it sounds like the files got corrupted, use a cardreader.

does it matter if i am using the card reader in my printer that is the one i have been using for emus and mp3s and it works fine for those?

try encoding with Xvid works ok for me

using 1.1.0 firmware

since ive been using this card does that mean its already formated in fat32i was readin the wiki some and i was thinkin that could be my prob.


what kind of program do you use to convert them to Xvid?






EDIT: also, could i have not completely updated my firmware i used this to update my firmware http://www.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,1052

Hello Guys,

To get the video to work and properly created form a DVD, here are the tools - tested and certified succesfully!
- DVDX 2.3
- DivX 5.1.1 or 5.2.1 Codecs
- ASPI Driver for DVDX 2.3 for Adaptec
- and of course...a DVD Software Player installed

That's it: once you have these softwares installed, just play with DVDX 2.3.
For instance, you can resize the video to 320*240 through the DivX codec setup interface.
