Regardless of the tool you use, transcode videos as follows:
Use AVI as the file container.
Encode video using the Xvid codec.
Resize video to 320 x 240 pixels or smaller.
Encode the audio using an MP3 codec.
Reduce the audio to 2 channels if the original was more, such as 5.1.
There may be other transcoding formulas that will produce videos compatible
with the player. Also note some formats will work without conversion. For a full list
of supported formats, see “Technical Specifications” in this manual.
Note: E-matic does not provide support to Linux users. However, you can get
help from the Linux community on the Internet via information sites, forums, and
e-mail lists.
