Hi

 

I've tried putting Mpeg 4 video's on both my SD card and my Archos but the video plays back really slowly and totally out of sync on the F900BT. is there a correct file format and frame rate i should be using as the manual just says mpeg4 video. Is this the norm for the unit. My ipod plays video just fine.

yeah, the video playback from the SD card can get slow and choppy, especially while trying to do something else (like phone or navigation). Just use your Ipod. I actually bought and itouch just for watching videos. Your whole system will work much faster w/ using the ipod.

It is fast and easy to convert videos to Xvid4, MP3 audio & 480 pixel height. (FYI, I typically use Xvid4 with quantizer 4, single pass. MP3 Joint Audio 128 kbit, and whatever horizontal resolution matches with 480 vertical)

 

The issue I have is the complete lack of video listing when playing off of an SD card. Would it really have been that difficult to add a file name listing menu?
