Is there anyway to watch video on the new f700bt?


Recommended Posts

Im sure that can be done but what about the usb/sd inputs, can I burn a mpeg4 video and have it play through that? What program burns mgeg4?

 

if you're using a USB then you don't need to 'burn' anything, just put the file on the usb drive and plug it in to the unit, same for the SD.

that is the manual for your unit, look at page 91 for details on playing back video from USB or SD

Just put the video file on the USB drive/stick or SD card. Plug it in to the unit, and select either USB or SD card from the source screen, lust like with an ipod, xm, radio, etc. Once that source is playing, you have to hit the VIDEO button at the top right to switch from audio to video mode.

 

Of course the video has to be a compatible format. The manual will tell you what formats you can use.

Another thing to think about is you should shrink any videos down that are larger than the unit's resolution. When I was playing some video clips I had that were in a pretty high resolution, the video playback was choppy/laggy because the unit had to resize the video.

 

But I think this only applies to videos in a USB stick or SD card. Videos in an ipod are different, because the ipod transcodes the video rather than the unit itself.

I currently use dvdshrink and dvd platinum. Between those two programs, I believe dvd platinum was the only one that allowed resolution changes for different devices. I'll make sure to try that out and report back to other members.

This program lets you take just about any format video file and transform it into just about any other format video file, as well as change resolutions. And it's free.

However finding the actual program download on their website is kinda like being a mouse trying to find the cheese at the center of a maze.

Hifisi, witht that program can you put a dvd in the drive and itll convert? or you need to do something else?

 

reason im asking is i use clonedvd2 and anydvd to burn movies, but an error message comes up saying the data source is too large, if the movie is over 2 hours long. i also have a program called videora to convert to mpeg 4 for the ipod

No, it's not a DVD ripper. It only converts existing video files. You'd have to get a program that will rip DVD's to divx or avi or mp4 files on your computer.
