When I try to put a converted youtube video from MP4 to an AVI on this player it tells me its in an invalid format. I have 2 players one for music and one for videos. I can't remember how I did it last year but all the videos are in avi format and they work. So I'm confused? I must be leaving out a part. If you can help thanks!! Don

Make sure which formats the player supports. Avi is just the container and can have many formats . According to the specs the player supports wmv,avi and flv try converting the videos again but use a resolution of 220x176, it might help as the player would not have to scale the video down. I have also noticed that the transcend player MP860 had it's own converter software. Check if your friends have the MP860 or MP870 player and install the software off the cd and try converting the video files as the coby may support the same format.

You actually just need MP4, you need to get Coby Media Player though, you can find it in the internal storage of the player once it's been installed onto the computer (It might take a little luck for it to recognize and instal) in the internal storage, it should have something called startup, if it dosen't, the computer didn't install the player's driver, once you got Coby Media Manager, you can syncronize MP4, and AVI (maybe more) onto your advice, no converters or 3rd party software needed.

Can't play avi videos usb

Hello to all. Have twin boys staying over the holidays and they wished to view movies when they went to bed. have Polaroid 32" P32LED12 fitted to their bedroom. The tv is ok for playing dvd through it but when on using the usb drive with movies on it, it came up Invalid or Unsupported file. Have tried different movies with different formats and came up with nothing to play. So got myseld a video converter program: Wondershare video converter ultimate. On looking at the booklet from Polaroid, it says MPEG1.2, but although on converting the film to this format, the film broke up. So I took an AVI trailer and converted the trailer to all the formats on the converter and stuck this on the USB and stuck it into the tv. Out of all of them, i found that the converter format was VOB DVD FORMAT in this coverter. The film did not break up and the sound great. The film sizie was a bit smaller in frame size but this can be increased. What the converter showed after the conversion was: DVD-Video/ Format: VOB. Video Codec: MPEG-2/ Audio Codec: MPEG-2 audio. There is a settings on this converter at the lower right corner, but you can fiddle with this yourself. But to finish with, I have tried most of the films with different formats and could not get them to work on this tv, so get yourself a video program converter, put in laptop or pc and convert film to VOB. Hope this helps as there is nothing in any help on google for this tv.

The music format is only support MP3, WMA, MP4, and the video you can use FLV or AVI, I think you need to convert your youtube music video to AVI format, maybe you can try to use Leawo Video Converter.

Youtube videos are usually FLV flies which are not compatible with WMV. You must convert the video using video conversion software. Renaming the file does not convert the format the video file format.
