Video Player

[xalres]

I got my GP2X with the firmware already installed (awful nice of them to do that as I am terrible with flashing devices), everything works like a charm except the dang movie player. Every flavor of format/codec I've thrown at it either doesn't show up in the browser or looks like it's going to start then says [File not supported] or some such. I read in one of the threads that there's a movie player fix out there but I haven't been able to find one.

Has anyone been able to get movies to play on 1.0.1? If so, what codec was it encoded in?

Thanks,

Just got my gp2x today, and the video worked perfectly first time. I'm on the new firmware too

I used the pocket divx encoder from the url below:

if you reencode your video to 320x240 using that you should be fine.

every codec I've thrown at it works. Needs AVI though

I have a 2nd batch unit as well and I don't have the problems you describe. You could try this demo movie just to make sure it's not your encoder settings. Maybe you could also try a different SD card.

Mpegs and Xvids do not work for me....

Avi does work.

Does it have to be Mpeg4 to play?

Well I'll be damned, that pocket encoder thingy worked like a charm.

Avi is just a container. Xvid (as avi) works fine for me, it’s just out of sync.
