Either way, this saves me from converting DivX 3 files.(2014-03-15, 16:48)CaptainRewind Wrote: Of course, as many of us already know, the RaspberryPi will not play DivX 3 content. It plays audio only, no video. This is a known issue with the Pi and DivX 3, and is due to licensing (or, lack thereof). Now that I have a working setup, I'm going to convert these all. I have loads of them.Have you tried context-menu "play using dvdplayer" ?

I'll try the Birds sample on Super, but a big part of the problem with the sci-fi video I mentioned above is the cache buffer over an 802.11g WiFi link, a problem which is now exacerbated by the cache buffer being reduced by 40%. It's not ideal.(2014-03-15, 19:02)CaptainRewind Wrote: I'm guessing you mean the "Birds" sample here? That won't even play all the way through in VLC on Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop (which isn't exactly optimized for video playback)Played perfectly for me. (I am overclocked).

If I copy to the SD card and disable caching, even on "Fast," it plays but skips a TINY bit. I suspect if I combine that with Super it would not skip.

If they are corrupted (e.g. by cutting power when updating them) you just need to re-copy the files using windows and sdcard reader.I always boot my laptop into Linux if I have an operation that requires shutting down the Pi and manipulating data on the SD card. I find it far more reliable than 3rd-party ext4 Windows libraries.
Thanks again.
