Audio / Video Codecs, Converters & Decoders

vikramv4u · 10th July 2013, 17:58

Hi,

I own a Worldtech Reverse Camera Camera + Sensor but am unsure on what video format works if I want to play with USB Pen drive? I have tried a couple of MP4 formats etc. but maybe the codec used is not the compatible one, so they do not play. Anyone can help?

In addition I would also like to know whether any specific software is needed to convert any video into that format? Eg: I have Total Video Converter and I also have Replay Converter installed on my comp.

Is there any guide available for the same?

Thanks,

Vikram

It should be able to play the mp4 files from USB or SD card. However, most of these units have a sub-par processors & memory so can only play the lower profile mp4 files, the very reason why you're not able to play your existing files. You can use DVD-fab to convert your files, the profiles may be a zune or iphone or a similar mobile device.

Thank you very much for the reply. Let me try it out. In the meanwhile if anyone else owns this device or has any first hand experience, I would love to know what exactly works..

Thanks again!

Not sure if this is exactly a codec question.

I want to use my laptop as output device for playing audio files.
1. I cannot install any additional software on the laptop
2. I cannot use USB drives on the laptop
3. Laptop has Windows media player, and runs Win 7

Hence I am trying to play the tracks on a portable media player & connect the output of the mp3 player into the mic port of the laptop, using a 3.5mm connector cable.

but WMP doesnt sing .. what gives ?

The Mic in would take the input from a microphone only. You need to give the input to the line in of the laptop. This is something I recollect doing while converting old cassettes to audio files.

Edit: please look at this link as well.
