17174VIDEO – Playing Video Files from the Internet When using Windows Media® Player 10, you will have the advantage of being able to download protected video content from the Internet. When you see the PlaysForSure™ symbol on a web site for Windows® Portable Media Center (PMC)*, then these protected downloads will be playable on your AV 700. 4.1 Protected Internet Video contentIf you check the PlaysForSure™ website (www.playsforsure.com) you will fi nd web retailers who offer rental, subscription, or purchasable video content. Remember, web sites must carry the PlaysForSure™ symbol in order for their videos to play on the AV 700.4.1 Non Protected Internet Video Content The AV 700 plays .AVI fi les that are encoded in MPEG-4 format. It can play such video fi les at a maximum size of 720 x 576 pixels (25 frames/second). It can also play .WMV fi les (WMV9 SP) up to a maximum size of 352 x 288**. The AV 700 will not directly play fi les of type .mov, .mpg, or .mpeg.The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video fi les is very extensive and seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards and formats that it is very possible that the video fi le you download from the Internet will not play right away on your device. Due to certain “variations”, even when video fi les are formatted in “MPEG-4” they may not play right away. If you have some video fi les that do not play directly on your AV 700, they will have to be converted fi rst. Windows Media® Player 10 (Available only for Windows XP) will convert your video fi le automatically when you sync the fi le that is on your PC to the AV 700. It will display a little message ‘converting’. * MPEG-4: ISO standard by Moving Picture Experts Group ; AVI: audio/video fi le container by Microsoft . MPEG-4 SP with B-frames AVI up to 704x480@30f/s NTSC or 720x576@25f/s PAL. ** Microsoft WMV9 SP up to 352x288@30f/s and 800 kb/s ; supports WM DRM.1818You can also use the software MPEG-4 Translatorincluded on the AV 700 hard drive to re-encode your video fi les into the proper MPEG-4 SP format that the AV 700 can play. See the chapter Video – creating MPEG-4 video fi les with your computerfor more details.
