video playback legnth

hi, just got my m3 couple days ago, love it just one issue, it doesnt want to play videos longer than 4 minutes, does anyone else have this issue?

LOL who would buy the M3 if it only played 4 minutes of video?

Make sure you have encoded the videos properly, as M3, like the M6, only read specific types of encoding (namely XviD and DivX avi files).

um has anyone had this problem before??i have encoded videos as xvid files

I use PocketDivxEncoder (divx format) 176x128 @ 25fps and have no problems with full length movies. I would suggest that you either have a conversion problem or not enough free memory on your player for the video to cache properly.

I have the problem too. Its really weird how M3 plays (or not) files.
I also have trouble when I'm using PocketVideoConverter and /\/\@D/\/\@/\/ parameters.

What are the rules for the M3 to play file ?
- video encoding : xivd or divx
- audio encoding : mp3
- resolution ?
- fps : 25 max ?

Hi Waltz, try BatMan BatMan - einfache Stapelverarbeitung für MEncoder
it has M3 support.
