Video Formats

[saboteur]

Anybody tell me what formats a stock GP2x 'might' play.

I've decoded a 15 minute film and have translated the .vob to divx and avi and can't get either to play - in fact the divx is not even recognised or shown in the playlist.

This isn't a moan - i'm just trying to get a definitive answer on what formats / compresions / codecs etc work.

Cheers

For starters, I think the file list only shows files with a .avi extension, so it might be worth renaming the file to see where that gets you. divx and xvid both work to some extent, but I'll let someone else give more detail on that as I don't know it off the top of my head.

DivX 4 works the best as far as I've seen. Don't pack the bitstream; use mp3 for the audio stream.

Or if you have access to a windows pc, You can use pocket divx encoder.

Thanx for the help.

Renaming the DIVX to .avi worked a treat.
