i have a XMS - 888 mpeg 4 player and a file keeps coming up as codec unsupported and i was wondering is it possible to upgrade the codecs inside the player itself somehow?

as gspot said that the file is the same as others that play in there but this one wont.


thanx

well here's the firmware upgrades.

but..if it's newer than 2004..it says doin't bother as it'll already have the newest stuff on it.

Steps to update firmware:
1. Eject the disc tray (take out any other disc that might be there)
2. Put the disc (with the firmware on it) on the tray, but don't push it in
3. Turn off the player for 10 seconds
4. Turn the player on, it will suck the disc in (if not, press open/close to suck it in)
5. It will - read the disc, erase the old firmware, write the new firmware
6. Player will then put itself into standby.
7. Power the player off, wait 10 seconds
8. Power the player back on.
9. IMMEDIATELY start pressing the eject (open / close) button to get the disc out fast, before it starts erasing and writing again.
10. (If your not quick enough, and it starts again, let steps 5 onwards complete again. - DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TURN OFF THE PLAYER WHILE IT IS ERASING OR WRITING THE FIRMWARE)

yeah i already knew that and done it, it fixed some problems.

but my problem is with QPEL its a form of encoding and not all players will play it, i was hoping i could upgrade the codecs but it seems that you cannot only the firmware.

apparently i have to re encode it and that works but i have yet been able to do it succesfly as the file i have is vbr and can come out incorrect.

A lot of DivX;) players won't play all the codecs.
SSS_Hoon
yeah i know, there is one out there that plays QPEL encoded files but i dont know of anywhere in aus that sells them.


oh well i will just have to reencode them all(try too that is)
