MP4 player plays only MTV - HELP

[Lensmeister]

My son got a MP4 player today ... the free software (MTVVideoConverter_V1.12.11.3) doesn't work.

Can anyone help with a free converter for

avi to mtv
mpg to mtv
wmv to mtv

etc.

Thanks .. I am running out of paracetamol with his moaning.

You need to g-spot or mediainfo a known working file to find out exactly how it is encoded. I suspect it is an AMV offshoot (maybe even AMV with a different extension). This post has some links that may help : http://www.moviecodec.com/topics/7595p3.html (or they may not - I don't have a player to test it on).

I am still having problems.

I have d/l Winavi and tried a couple of avi's but on the mp3 player it comes up as unknow format.

I did manage to get one wmv ro convert to mtv and work ok, but the next one would not work.

My kup. I have been trying many different converters.

Anyone got any ideas.
