I keep putting music videos on my usb drive and they won't play on my avic...i have tried converting them to divx format and putting them on a dvd and it says that it can't read the format. Can anyone tell me what I can do so that I can play videos on my avic? Thank you.

I copied this from the thread so "slats" gets the credit for this... it works im using it now

Re: Avic-F700bt MP4 sound but no video

First post here-been lurking a while. Just couldn't let this post go without letting you know I had the same problem with some DVD's that I tried to load on my F700BT.

Here's my notes to my self that I made last week that works for my problem videos (some videos weren't so finicky and didn't require these exact settings). You'll need the following freeware downloads (don't have a link at this moment and I'm kinda in a hurry right now).

"DVD Shrink"

"Any Video Converter"

Just google them and download them.

Here are the notes:

Any Video Converter How To

1) Use DVD shrink to copy DVD. Full backup or reauthor.Use as little

compression as possible.

2) Open Any Video Converter.

3) Click "Add Video"

4) Browse to file.

5) Select Profile (upper right corner)

a) Mobile Phone MPEG-4 Movie works.

6) General Tab

a) Pick folder where file is.

7) Output Duration

a) you can select Start and Stop times if desired.

Video Options

a) Video code-mpeg4

Video size-640x480 for AVIC F700BT

c) Video Bitrate-768 or higher

d) Video Framerate-25 fps

9) Audio options

a) Audio Codec-aac

Audio Bitrate-128

c) Sample Rate-11025

d) Audio Channel-2

e) Disable Audio-no

f) A/V Sync- Basic

g) Audio Track- Default

Try that and see if it works...
