Supported media formats
Your mobile device supports different media formats. If you cannot play a video that is saved on LaCie Fuel
while wirelessly connected to your mobile device, the resolution might be too high or your mobile device does
not support the video format.
High-resolution files
If the video is a 1080i or 1080p file, it might require too much bandwidth and cause a choppy viewing
experience or not play at all. Purchase a lower-quality video or use a program to change the file to a lower
quality.
Supported codecs
Confirm that your mobile device supports the video type or codec. Some third-party programs, such as VLC
display information about the file and its codec.
