What type of video format to see videos?

Hi there,

Someone knows what format for the videos do I need to see the videos in my M40i (x4) ?

I already coded with Bimmercode to see videos in movement but I tried to see videos with a USB that I have full of videos but only reproduced very few.

Thank you so much!!!

You should be able to use any of these formats: mpg, mpeg, wmv, mp4, avi, flv, mkv

So far tried:
  • MP4
  • M4V ( with handbrake)
  • VOB

burned them on a DVD+RW and it gave me does not support this format.
Am checking the manual as we speak but can't detect specifically for dvd what is supported only for USB that it needs a FAT32 one

Really frustrated, going to try an avi file now.

Could it be the type of DVD that it doesn't support an RW dvd

Maybe you shouldn't be watching videos on the screen! I can't imagine a better example of what you should NOT try to do.

BTW I will go with the USB method ..just bought one today put my music on it and it works like a charm so I will stick with it. The CD route is not as flexible as the USB one.

Now I just need to unlock the video in motion and I'm good to go
