One for you experts out there
we bought a Panasonic S500 DvD player some while back and now we want to use it to play files, everything comes up as "unsupported format" whether it's on a DvD-r or via the USB stick which has the files on.
I had some .mp4 files and some .avi files and burned them to the DvD-r which was when the problems of no playback began. We phoned Panasonic who seemed a bit vague and were going on about converting to a .xvid extension, well as far as I know this isn't a file extension, it's something to do with being a Codec and part of the mp4 or avi make-up?
Anyway that's brought me here to ask if anyone knows what to do next and how to get this playback started - I just put the flash drive in and all the files are in unsupported format.
I have tried a few of the free software options in an attempt to convert files into Xvid but a lot of them didn't have the option 'as advertised' and it's left us rather disappointed at the moment.
Can anyone help us?
