Forum:MP4 on Iomega Screenplay HD Pro 500 ?

Hello,

I've add an Iomega Screenplay HD Pro 500 since one year and I'm very happy with; however I would like to know if it's possible to play files which are converted on the MP4 format. Is it possible to do an upgrade of the coded present on the IOmega Screenplay ?

If not, I've heard there is an app called "ScreenPlay Director" ... is it possible to install it on my Screenplay ? and if yes, does it play the mp4 fileS ? thanks,

Miguel


 * Hi Miguel. MP4 is not possible directly on the ScreenPlay Pro HD player, nor will it ever be. The chip inside that does the decoding is simply not powerful enough to decode MP4 and does not have that capability built in.  The ScreenPlay Director is not an application, it is a different player with a different chip that can play MP4. You can use the transcode server to have your computer convert the MP4 as it is playing.  However, it doesn't work very well.  --JCoug 18:37, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
