 |
|
I try to play Mpeg files from my USB which worked a little bit, but has now stopped.
It fails to recognize mp4 files.
Any good free programs which will make a dvd which my (region-free, Invio) portable DVD player will recognize? |

I'm guessing it still plays DVD's.
Use a converter like ConvertXtoDVD to make any video format into a regular DVD. |

Yeah, It's new and still plays regular stuff.
That program looks good, but my PC keeps crashing during conversion.
It's a Lenovo x61 and it crashes a lot when downloading or converting video, perhaps it's a video card or memory issue. |

Lenovo X61 was released in 2007. 5 years ago. That's an eon in computer years. I guess you're running XP on it which is becoming more and more incompatible with newer versions of software which are written for Windows 7, which probably explains the crashing.
If you want to do video conversion/rendering in any kind of efficient way then you need a new-ish computer with a good CPU combined with a modern OS and recent software. |

You have codec issues.
download something like AVC (any video converter). The free version works fine. You don't need the pro version and they work on win7, vista and XP-SP2. Change the files to MPEG 1 type and play from your usb drive.
Other common formats / codecs would be xvid and divx and file format would be mpeg2. There are a couple of mp4 codecs in common use and your player may not like some of them.
The other alternative is to find/download a dvd burner program (even nero) and actually make DVDs (or .vob files). They will also work fine for you.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice.
I tried to make mpeg1 files and from the USB, it doesn't recognize the title: It just shows up as "W,``W,``W,``", or something similar to that and when selected, nothing happens.
The manual that came with the player says it will play: DVD, Super VCD, VCD, CD, MP3, JPEG and MPEG4.
I'm going to try changing to Mobile Phone MPEG-4 movie using AVC, but I think because the the container is MP4 it won't work.
I'm sure I already tried teh VCD and DVD options, but t o no avail! |
