Mambo Flix 4g-when I dwnld & convert video it won't let me view

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.

I will share two ways to convert video to avi file ...
# Free:
1. Go to http://zamzar.com
2. Click on the to add video files from local disk or paste in the link to the YouTube video (it will also convert some other streaming video files, but not all - just try to see if it will convert the one you need)
3. Choose the output format AVI ;
4. Enter your email <school e-mail has less capacity than google or Yahoo accounts and may 'strip' the attachment>
5. Click convert


The file will be converted and a link will be sent to your email (usually within 1 or 2 hours). You will then click on the link and be able to download AVI video files .

# Shareware :
Free Download Daniusoft video convert suite


The reason for introducing this shareware video converter just is that Zamzar has some irksome restrictions like:

You don't have priority file conversion, converting files with maximum size of 100 mb, up to 5 conversion at the time and you don't have any online storage.


However, all these restrictions are not exist for Daniusoft video converter suite. It even can Rip and Convert Movie DVDs to AVI fast and losslessly... In addition,

1. You can set the video resolution, bit rate, encode etc. for output .
2. You can edit your video like cropping/trimming/merging video clips to customize your video.

This is for your COBY MP-705 4G very easy to do..

File support varies depending on the model Mambo you have purchased. The conversion utility included with your Mambo player can convert most AVI files into a compatible format for your player. Consult the comprehensive user's manual on the CD included with your player for specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
I don't know if you used their software (MusicMatch Jukebox) but thatis what it suggests..

I don't know what you have not tried. So I am sorry that my options for you are limited.

Thank you dor the chance to help

it came wit a disk and you convert it onto Windoms Live Media player then plug the device into the computer and it downloads the videos onto it.

hello

You should connect the mambo-mano 4GB mp4 player to the PC and access the drive created by the computer.

But copy only movies that is compatible to mp4 player. example if your movie is ****.AVI you should convert it first to IPOD format (MP4) so that playable onto the mambo.
