I think I understand the codec requirement, and that older ones won't work with newer files and whatever the Panasonic has isn't updateable. The Panasonic does give various errors, it usually first says "Initialising", but my then show "File Error" or "Unsupported Format". A >2GB file (made in VideoToVideo) on it played ok on the PC. But to answer a couple of questions, the flash drive is FAT32 formatted. I've just finished reading and now have lots to check out. Thus, in my experience, the player built into a TV, whose main purpose is to play video coming in through the HDMI port, are less capable than what you'll get in a Blu-Ray player which, at its core, is a full-fledged computer, and whose main purpose is to decode and play video.įirst up, thanks very much for all the info and advice. This is especially true for players that are built into a device somewhat as an afterthought. The processors in some players simply can't handle the computational demands. Baseline, medium, and high each require far more processing power to decode, as you go up that ladder. There are other, more subtle issues as well, such as the Profile used (for h.264, and possibly other codecs). Some players simply cannot unpack and decode a really high bitrate file. I wouldn't have thought of audio, but hech54 is absolutely correct about that, although in my experience if the video is something the player can handle, it will play the video sans audio.įinally, the bits per second can be an issue.

Today, many of them can play full HD (1920x1080) video. Early generation smartphones could not play videos that were much more than 640x480. So, even thought the file extension is AVI, the player may still not be able to play those encoded with a codec it doesn't understand. The hard-wired players only understand certain codecs. As has been posted thousands of times in this forum, AVI is a "container" for the video, but the actual video can be encoded with a number of different codecs. In your situation, the first thing to look at is the codec. They all have very significant limitations compared to a computer which, when properly set up, will play almost everything.

I've also encoded for all generations of iOS and Android smartphones. I've tried playing media files on my son's XBox 360 on my Samsung TV, via the USB port and on my Denon receiver. Pretty much all of these hard-wired players have significant limitations on what they will play.

The details from MediaInfo will probably show if either are likely to be the cause but it might take a little trial and error to work out exactly what's required to keep your player happy.ĭoes the program you're using for converting to AVI give you a choice of encoder profiles? Many programs do (the Xvid encoder has profiles of it's own) in which case it will hopefully produce compatible files if you choose the correct profile when converting (something like simple profile or home theatre profile etc). Generally the maximum video width is 720.Ĭodec ID and packed bitstream problems can be fixed without re-encoding using MPEG4 Modifier so it's not time consuming. Some players won't play packed bitstreams, some only play them, some will play either and some don't support B frames at all. When another type of frame is used (called B frames) the video can be stored in a different way (called packed bitstream). Your AVI that works was created using very simple encoder settings. I have Bluray player that refuses to play anything with a DivX ID, but it'll play the same video if I change the ID to Xvid. The video can be encoded by different encoders and still be the same type of video, but the player might only recognise a particular codec ID. Please give me some instructions ? Open the AVIs with MediaInfo and use the View/Text or View/HTML menu at the top to switch to a more detailed view and copy and paste the info here.ĭoes the player give you an error when it refuses to play the files? Sure, but appreciate I don't know enough to distinguish or find full instead of summary.
