Mpeg Files Not Recognized?

[colt chillin']

hello, my gp2x doesn't seem to recognize .mpg files.
the video player doesn't even show the files, the explorer does show them though.
any thoughts??

The GP2x mediaplayer doesn't support MPEG files. Only AVI.

support for avi/mpeg/wmv, that's what GPH told us one year ago.

Unfortunately the GP2X specs are misleading, it is possible, but not at the moment. They should of put only DivX and Xvid (.avi) is supported at the moment, and MPEG, WMV will be playable in the future.

However, it's only video part that it's misleading, as the rest is pretty much accurate. TV Out does work, and 320 X 240 is the correct size. Like the person above said, use http://divx.ppccool.com/ VERY good converter. Choose the PDA which should be 320 X 240.

If you have a large SD card then you can keep the movie how it is, and it should play (if it's an avi file of course), and it will look great on TV out, if not then converter, and when you do TV out it shouldn't look too bad.

The GP2X specs state MPEG4, which is supported. .MPG is MPEG2, which isn't supported.
