Shouldn't it be able to play a mpeg-4 video?? Straight off iTunes

 

when you first put in the actual dvd (step brothers) doe the screen go blue? i have this same unit man

 

it turns blue if i switch the parking brake switch, other than that it just stays the illuminated black color but all the menus can pop up

 

everytime you turn the deck off make sure your switch is in the off position. and then when you pop a movie in try switching the switch from on-off-on. if none of that works, find a better ground man, my p4000 used to do the same thing

 

**** it I just ordered the iPod interface so I can just have all the **** ony iPod and play it from there in ITunes format cause this is too big of a pain in the ass...anyone want to buy a brand new 32gb flash drive?

 

meh i always convert my mp4s to be able to play them on my hu

 

Convert them to what type of file?

 

i convert them to wma

and holy **** you dropped cash on a solid state and ur already selling it?

if it works **** let me know i have to convert my avi files to get em on the ipod but ill take the flash drive if u are gonna sell

 

This is what pioneer said

Only audio files like .mp3/.wav/.aac/.wma play through the USB. When a CD/DVD with Divx files on it is loaded, the unit can play the video. The supported format is below.


DivX decoding format ............Home Theater Ver. 3, 4, 5.2
(.avi, .divx)

my video files were in .avi and it still wouldn't play...

 

pretty much what i said, convert to divx, i downloaded videos from limewire, got a free converter online, converted them all to div x and can fit about 250 videos on a typical dvd-r

 

WTF then....I had them on a DVD-r as AVI files and it still said it couldn't play...can you tell me what converter you used? Also were your files .divx or .avi?

 

nope put them on dvd-r as .divx i got a free converter thru google search

 

Bwhenever I try to convert to divx it always saves them as .avi files.... My converters must be gay

 

alright some of you are getting your terms confused.

AVI is the container format.

Divx is the video codec.

Just because it's an AVI doesn't mean it's encoded with the divx encoder.

So you need to make sure you are using the right software to encode it to divx codec, not just an avi file.

 

So I need to download a divx codec and not a video converter?

 

if you go to divx.com

You should be able to download a trial of their software.

It should have a divx converter program. Should put your files in the correct format, but I'm not sure what type of files it will allow you to input.

 

That is the converter i used before with no luck but Ill give it another shot

 

well then something else is wrong.

 

Well it converted it to a .avi so I'm guessing that is what's wrong

 

no the divx converter might convert it to AVI, but it still uses the divx codec so your player should play it if it in fact plays divx files.

It's easy to tell if it's in the correct format because it will play on a ps3

Also use a program called mediainfo to make sure it's in divx format.
