Hello Gents,

 

Can Anyone help to advise correct video file format to be played from USB, SD and CD/DVD on F940BT?

 

A lot read on other forums, but files (after lot of converts) not readable or jerky.

Hi Eiro,

 

The best advice i can give you is to use this tool http://www.xmedia-recode.de/

I had a thread here too regarding this. I have a F950dab and i had the same problem. Using different converters was a pain in the ass since they all did something to the file which made it unraedeble. Keep in mind that our units have a max resolution av 400x240. Using the xmedia-recode tool , it has profiles for Pioneer units, inkluding 940BT. I use this one to to convert my files and it works flawless. You can use some others tools as well, MovaviConterer was a good tool also , but is not a freeware.

 

Check ur manual refence table on supported files. Very important that part.

This issues here , is nothing else than crappy codec Pioneer is licensed to use. The limitation av 400x240 is also just another bullshit. The screen support higher resolution, ref DVD movies.

I wish somebody made a player for these pioneer units. One which plays everything without changing files and better handling on fast forward for long mp3 mixes.

 

Good luck

Try xvid ( which the manual says is unsupported), only thing that got mine (f30bt) working
