Converting video files to MTV format
The player only supports video files in MTV format. However, you can convert
video files from other formats into MTV format using the “MTV Video Converter
AP” transcoder software on the CD-ROM supplied. The following video formats
are recognised: AVI (*.avi), WMV (*.wmv, *.asf), MPEG1 (*.mpg), QuickTime
(*.mov, *.qt), MPEG2 (*.vob), RealMedia (*.rm, *.rmvb), MPEG4 and 3GP
(*.3gp).
The transcoder software also supports WAV format background music (*.wav),
MP3 (*.mp3) and WMA (*.wma). You can replace the original soundtrack on
the video clip with a music file.
The Codec Pack must be installed on the PC. Recommended codec: K-Lite Mega
Codec Pack (obtainable at www.free-codecs.com or www.k-lite.tk)
