I don’t know how my file is encoded. Which software can I use to know precisely which are the
caracteristics of my file? (format, type, encoding, bitrate...)
If you have not any software for this, you can use MediaInfo software (http://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo).
This software, provided under BSD license, is free and opensource on all operating system (Windows,
Mac OS X or Linux).
I have not any software to re-encode my video file in a format compatible with my player. Which
software do you recommanded?
This question is wide, because many encoding softwares exist. It would be simplistic for us to summarize
all free and commercial solutions in a single reference. In a first time, refer to your owner’s manual to be
aware of the formats supported by your player. If you can not find reference encoding software, you can
use the Handbrake software (http://handbrake.fr/). This software, provided under GPL license, is free and
opensource on all operating system (Windows, Mac OS X or Linux). It allows you to encode your video
files into H.264 in MP4 contenaire.
I have properly named «000» the autoplay folder, but the player reads the folder just one time,
what is the problem?
By default, the folders are not played in loop. The condition to play a folder in loop depend to the add of
a specific parameter in the name of the folder. This parameter is a jump function, done when the folder is
fully played. To play your folder in loop, please, rename the autoplay folder from «000» to «000 [J000]».
For more informations on the folders parameters, please, refer to your owner’s manual.
I have created a text file «serial.txt» as specified into the manual, but the player does not include
instructions that i put in the configuration file. Why?
Make sure that the «serial.txt» file is generate with a basic text editor like the «Notepad» of Microsoft
Windows. Otherwise, your text editor needs to create a «ANSI» file, 100% ASCII. «DOC», «RTF»,
«»UTF-8», «UTF16», «UNICODE» or other format of text file are exclude.
Information about video formats
A video is a succession of images to which are added sound, titles and subtitles, called «metadata». All
these elements are then placed and compressed in a file called «container» identified by its name as mov,
mp4, mkv ... The higher the quality of a video, the larger the file created, it is for that we use a CODEC
compression algorithm for compression and decompression.
The disadvantage is that during compression the quality of the video may drop depending on the method
used. The choice of format is important. Video files use different codecs to encode and compress data.
They are not all data formats, for example .mov is a container with no indication of the type of Codec used.
Inside these containers, the files can be compressed with different CODECs. VP3x0 supports H265 /
H264 and VP9 codecs.
