Hi. I use a program called Tevion PVR Plus to convert AVI files to Mpegs for TV viewing, but I've a problem for which I've been unable to find a solution. I hope you can help. The problem is that the converted mpeg has an on-screen 'counter' which isn't on the original AVI file and cannot be removed by my dvd player. So, the whole movie you are literally watching the minutes tick away. I can't find anything in the program itself or the help files to explain how to remove this, assuming it is happening at the conversion level. Hope you can help. Many thanks, Roshelle.

Hello to all. Have twin boys staying over the holidays and they wished to view movies when they went to bed. have Polaroid 32" P32LED12 fitted to their bedroom. The tv is ok for playing dvd through it but when on using the usb drive with movies on it, it came up Invalid or Unsupported file. Have tried different movies with different formats and came up with nothing to play. So got myseld a video converter program: Wondershare video converter ultimate. On looking at the booklet from Polaroid, it says MPEG1.2, but although on converting the film to this format, the film broke up. So I took an AVI trailer and converted the trailer to all the formats on the converter and stuck this on the USB and stuck it into the tv. Out of all of them, i found that the converter format was VOB DVD FORMAT in this coverter. The film did not break up and the sound great. The film sizie was a bit smaller in frame size but this can be increased. What the converter showed after the conversion was: DVD-Video/ Format: VOB. Video Codec: MPEG-2/ Audio Codec: MPEG-2 audio. There is a settings on this converter at the lower right corner, but you can fiddle with this yourself. But to finish with, I have tried most of the films with different formats and could not get them to work on this tv, so get yourself a video program converter, put in laptop or pc and convert film to VOB. Hope this helps as there is nothing in any help on google for this tv.

Every file (that contains video or sound etc) has something called file extension like mp3,mp4, mtv and avi etc. This MP player "Tevion MP4 player"needs to be in in MTV file format. If you have purchased it you will get a CD with it. and this CD contains the converter to convert the MP4 file format to mtv so you can run it. If you do not have the CD than you can download it from here.

I recommend that you watch the following video related with this product

Be confident and do not be hesitant, If you still have problems with tevion. Change your media player to VLC. Plays all sorts of video and sound files even mp4 and flv and above all its free.

Good Luck!

check the file type

AVCHD Video Converter-a must-have program for Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Hitachi camcorder users to convert the video types: MTS and M2TS movie files. You can get the new video from AVCHD(.mts, .m2ts) to AVI, WMV, MPEG, ASF, VOB, 3GP, RM, RMVB, MKV, FLV, SWF, MOV, MP4, M4V, DV, etc.

There are tons of programs that will do this automaticly for you. You just load the file and select the output and start. Some are free, but those with more features will charge for the program. Try download.com and type avi to mpeg converter. You can also try videohelp.com. They have forums for assistance as well as software recomendations.

Probably you Media Player does not support TOD formate.
It is very recent one so you need to look for new softwear.
The solution is easy
Tod file conversion, download the UNLEAD VIDEO STUDIO11.5 with the update other wise he will not work properly http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ulead_Videostudio

Run the program(ulead) go to Edit and on the right hand side of the screen you see icon of a folder open that and import your file (tod) when it's imported put it on the time line as well.
Now to converter to any kind of format you wish is very easy.
Open share icon right on the top next to audio icon and go to any format you wish to create.
For me I use adobe premier pro I need 720X576 I do this method.
I open in share folder the ---create video file-after I have lot of choose I select ---DV------after Pal (4:3) and I give name and destination all done.
Note:
Please don’t use DV----Pal (16:9) it will stretch the footage to much
When you import the file tod strait from your JVC will help to keep the same quality of your converted file.
Good Luck

Hmm, what software are you using to convert your movie? and do you have the same problem if you copy a movie directly from a DVD? try doing that if you haven't already.

The supplied convertion software is awful, very badly written and a waste of time, I use "Arcsoft MediaConverter" it works well is fast and is just a simple drag & drop interface.

I think when you burn to cd with NERO 3gp files you have to burn in 8x or 16x!!!

The PVR h140 works on mpeg1 or mpeg4 format. If you need to convert avi files for example you will need a third party conversion programme such as Nero7 or similair free programmes.

Did you go to Mssony directory and Moml0001 folder to look for the mpg file? I have a F505V and it works fine with my USB in Windows 98.
