keep in mind hitman80 that even though it appears your unit is just over 1 year old, it was developed way prior to this. MKV is becoming more the norm ive seen vs AVI when it comes to movies on the internet

MKV is the format known to extract Blu rays. Which a uncompressed format. It gives you the best quality from sound and video. now a days everthing online is a rip of a bluray. There are people like me that will convert to a mp4 file. It will compress the size but not hinder the quality of the movie.

Drenyce311, You seem very knowledgeable of the formats the 800o will play. I have files that don't seem to play. They are MP4 files ~28.2MB per file. Can you think of any other way to get these to play?

28.2Mb?? must be only a 3 minute video. Check if the format is correct. or reconvert it again

Cool, What program do you use for conversions?

hitman the requirements are not the same, you do not need to do all the silly conversions you had to do with the 110 - 150 series, this is simply download, copy, paste, enjoy. This is the only reason I've been holding out on this unit I wanted to be sure this worked. Thanks drenyce311, you are doing just what I have been trying to do for years, I play mostly music videos in the car (downloaded from Vevo, excellent quality) but it's been a pain since Apple removed the ability to play videos in a random order on an iPhone\iPod. Drenyce311 are you able to randomize play on the SD card?

To be honest I never noticed. So far the movies are alphabetical. Not sure on music.

Just a heads up on the question I asked earlier in reference to supported audio formats... this unit will NOT decode DTS encoded audio and down mix it to stereo or any other format. I have a 5GB 1080p .mkv file for Cars 2 that is encoded in DTS audio. The video plays fine and looks great (even on the 4000NEX) but the radio says "audio format not supported" and there is no sound. So be careful which files you are trying to use.
