MediaInfo shows that they're MPEG-1 Layer 3 audio but S-MPEG 4 v2 video. Can XBMC not play this? If not, can someone recommend an easy way for him to transcode (i.e. without losing quality) them to something that will be compatible with most devices?
In addition he has some files which MediaInfo identifies as Mpeg-4 (Microsoft) which also only play the audio on the RPi.
Is there any way to play these and the S-Mpeg 4 files on the RPi? He says he's got quite a lot of files burnt to disc and it's going to be a major chore if he has to convert them all to another format for the RPi to be able to play them. I don't even know how he'd go about this without worsening the quality either.
