Recently purchased a new Z140BH. Ive been trying to get the unit to play Video files on the USB but it cant seem to read it. The media files works fine. I looked at the manual and it indicated that the avic will read WMA,AVI and MP4 files. Ive tried both the AVI and MP4 files all under 2g as specified in the manual and even with differnt movies. It indicates that all files unable to read will be skipped. I tried movies or video clips from .4 to 1.2g. Any help would be great.

Most likely the total bit rate is too high. Here's a post I put in another thread with the settings I'm using that work.

I had some trouble getting this to work in the begining... here's a screen shot of the selections that have my videos working and looking good.

great info! Works for me.

best idea ever! it works perfect!!

thanks man!!!!

In all the years of the internet I have never created an account to say thank you to the poster...

until now...  works perfect on the avic z140bh.

Thank you!

Thanks !!

The only thing is that even though my videos are HD they still ain't smooth. There are slight boxes that appear sometimes. 

that's because of the very low bitrate that is required to view them.

Also try  Xmedia Recode software, has inbuilt settings for the Avic series (F30bt, and F40bt, which I understand should be the same as the Z130bt and Z140bt),

Can someone explain what exactly to do? The pictures aren't available anymore
