What are the video codec specifications & requirements for TIMOOM M6 32GB MP3 Player for video playback?

 

I cannot find any information except from Amazon & I cannot find a manual pdf or anything.  If anyone knows anything about "ARCHAIC VIDEO CODECS" & .AVI Containers @ say from what I found 320x240 resolution @ unknown frame rate & unknown bitrate & unknown video codec.  I tried some test videos .avi @ 320x240 23.98fps to 30fps with mpeg codec to motion jpeg, no dice.

 

Thanks

Have you tried divx?  That was very popular with mp3 players in the avi container.

[HeyItsChris]

Not yet but ill try now.

I tried xvid, divx, motion jpeg, mpeg & nothing idk where to find out what the specs are on video playback compatibility.  When opening .mp4's or any other such format even .avi as someone said on Amazon, invalid format.

I had completely forgotten about flash video.  Good idea.

Also.....Amazon store listing for the device in question (found on french Amazon), claims the following:
"Format vidéo: AMV / AVI"

So I would shoot for amv format, more info about .amv format:
 

Quote

AMV (Actions Media Video) is a proprietary video file format produced for MP4 players and S1 MP3 players with video playback.04 There are two different versions of this format: an older one for Actions chips and a newer one for ALi’s M5661 chip, sometimes called ALIAVI.0 AMV is a modified version of AVI and a variant of motion JPEG with fixed quantization tables.3 It contains a compressed, low-resolution video ranging from 96x96 to 320x240 pixels. AMV files can be played using the desktop PC software included with AMV media players, as well as VideoLAN VLC media player.2 The AMV file extension is assigned to so-called Anime Music Video files and is typically used by portable media playing devices from and in China. 

Otherwise, maybe just shoot for a standard mpeg compression in an avi container maybe?

Thanks so much dudes!  I'll try .AMV using VLC & other apps I use like for instance Mediacoder PRO may have the format available but I'll try VLC for sure thanks I'll let you know.

I'll let u know, I converted a whole bunch of .avi 30fps files which export with decent 320x240 quality.  Hope it works!

AMV did the trick, thanks all for the help!
