  1. Let me endorse for all here that the IPOD changes dramatically the performance of the f90bt and probably the 900bt as well. I was in a love/hate relationship with my new F90bt and loved it for the concept but hated every minute of trying to use it with any video clips at all on either an sd card or a usb memory stick. At best, I could get semi smooth display action but at a cost of deep deep glitches in the housekeeping side of the 90bt running. It would glitch big time and make you wait up to a minute for it to get around to processing a command such as MENU or whatever. In the wor
  2. Yes, I did read and understood what he said. My reasonf or suggesting he check is that I thought I read somewhere here that with some versions of the ipod you can just use the apple cable and plug it into the usb female. If that is the case then maybe he had two different generations of the ipod. Not really sure, I"m still trying to figure out how to make my music videos on the ipod play in a mix. I got it to work once today by how I selected it on the 90bt menus but it was a fluke I couldn't duplicate after seeing them work once. Bill
  3. rjousuf, Did you use the IPOD cable that is supplied in the F90BT box? It can't work without that.. at least in the case of my classic 120 version 7 Ipod. Bill
  4. Snake Eyes, Glad to hear about your success. My problem was some plastic that must have been molded on the usb pin. I dug it off with a hobby knife and it worked fine. I am new to the ipod and new to the pioneer unit. I was learning to hate the F90bt when using sd and memory sticks for my storage, it behaves very poorly - even waiting a minute for a command to accept. But with the ipod, there seems to be no overload on the cpu and if I can figure this out I'll be ok with the unit. I still think Pioneer could use a good dose of intuitive thinking because while feature packed and
  5. I have the exact same issue. 90 and a Ipod classic 120 version 7. No sound but all seems to work. Hopefully one of us will find an answer. I hope it's not an incompatiability. What a waste of money if it is. Bill
  6. I have found using nero recode and setting the bit density down to about 800 produces a fairly compact video that looks ok on the f90bt. I have used other converters and I have run into the problem of letterboxing when small resolutions are used. If you can find a 640x480 setting, with 16:9 format on 4.3 movies, they will usually fill the screen. THe problem I have seen is that the f90bt is too slow to navigate a large collection of movie files. It is so slow I quit trying to create a pack of them but rather just put one or two on a media to play. I think the future firmware mig
  7. Yes, I did try DIVX as a codec. Went back to xvit then finally went with a mpeg4 strain but not sure if it's divx. I finally found that xilisoft's converter ultra did the job and I used an mp4 codec with 512 bits, 640x480 and a "full" screen mode.. All my vids work now and they size up to full screen versus a letter boxed type of display. However, the unit is still very SLOW. Some functions take multiple presses on the icon to register and others register the command but take 30 seconds or longer to execute. I really do like this unit but it is unacceptably slow. I am
  8. Hello, I have tried a number of compression methods to convert my large collection of music vids to an sd card for playback in my f90bt with 2.0 firmware. I'm finding that I always have a large number of files that will not play even though they play fine on any other device I test them on. Also, I have a 16gb sd card and 16gb usb mem stick. Every time I turn the unit on I have to unplug and replug them in order for the unit to pick up on the files. This stinks... Originally my 2gig sd card didn't seem to have this problem, it would see and play shortly after turned on.
