Playing Movies

[NIC]

Just got my Wiz today
How do you play movies on it - I've tried to get it to work, but I have no idea.

Sorry if this has already been asked

put the movies (must be a .avi file) in the movie folder (either on the sd card or on the internal memory), start your wiz, select entertainment, movies, select movie of choice.

If you're unsure wether your movie is in the right format, I can recommend badak which has the option to convert to the right format for wiz (as a preset).

Thanks, I have them the right format now, but I just get the sound with a black screen.

Any ideas?

You have to convert it to MPEG4 format, no other mpeg format worked for me (you can use for example MobileMedia Converter)

Thanks, but it only shows it I have it as an avi file.

I'm probably doing something wrong - but I'll keep trying lol

The wiz media player only detects avi files for the movies, they are allowed to be encoded as mp4, xvid, divx. (probably some others as well)

Maybe if you try a different movie?

Ok, load the movie to MMC, set convert to avi and click more. set video codec to mpeg4 and resolution to 320x240, click OK and convert... it has worked to me.
