Forum:Issues playing mp4 video files on the Iomega Screenplay Pro HD media player

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you on the wonderful job that you guys are doing with helping out all the helpless people here.

I have just purchased a Screenplay Pro HD 1 TB drive. On plugging in the drive to my LG Full HD TV and copying HD content in mp4 format  to my Screenplay, I went on to play the content only to be disappointed. The movies play well on my PC (both in Windows Media Player as well as VLC Media player). But somehow when I transfer it to the Iomega Screen Play Media player, I end up with a "Invalid File!!" message. The firmware version is 1.8. Is there something I'm missing here or is it just that this hardware just does not support mp4 format.

Please advise. All your assistance regarding the same is highly appreciated.

 * MP4 is an unsupported format. If you want to view those on the ScreenPlay Pro HD, you'll need to convert them to a format supported.  If you do not want to convert, consider using one of many other players that support MP4, such as WDTV by Western Digital, Popcorn Hour or one of its clones, or the Iomega ScreenPlay Director if you are in Europe (not available yet in the states) --JCoug 17:03, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
