AVOX and Divx

Hi, This may be off topic, but I just installed the AVOX with the Altech 1.47 firmware upgrade.... Everything seems to work fine with my Avic-D1 but I have a DIVX video on the drive and it doesn't list it.

 

The extension of the file is .divx of course. While it's supposed to play this file, I can't figure out how.

 

Has anyone had this problem? Or figured out a fix?

 

Thanks.

Try renaming it to .avi or .mpg most devices have problems with .divx files.

Jason is correct. The AVOX will play DiVX with an .avi extension.

That may be true. :-)

 

BTW... I am REALLY impressed with the AVOX. I hooked it up to my regular TV (it's COLD outside), and played the divx after changing the extension to avi... BOY the quality of the picture is REALLY great. I saw very little pixalation (a little in the darker areas) but nothing too worry about. This is from a show that has been compressed, so some quality loss is expected. I also have a DVD movie of mine I ripped and have the VOB on there... again unimaginable!

 

This is a great little toy and it answers the questions about playing movies on the Avic if you have limited space... (my glove box is filled with the siruis radio and ipod module). I just wish they made a better case. Been thinking of making an aluminum one out of machined stock. :-)

I agree about the case design, but mine is hidden so it doesnt matter (much lol). But as you said, I'm still impressed myself with the quality output of the AVIC. Nice to have a 120GB storage also :) What size harddrive did you put in it?

I got the MG-25 with the IR extension :) I ordered it with 60GB for now. I mostly listen to music in the car and music videos. But might add more if im going to install an additional screen in the back..i cant wait to get it in my car.
