Dear god I hope someone can help me.
I recently bought my parents 4 Cirago TV (cheapest and easiest to use for my parents). Well I think I found out why it was so cheap because the box said it only supports video xvid, divx, and probably a few more. Anyway I am having an INSANELY hard time converting some videos. Since everything went *.mp4 and h/x264. I know it does not support *.mp4 and I know it does not support 264 codecs.
I have honestly tried so many converting programs that I feel like giving up. I tried handbrake, virtualdub, superc, avi recomp, xilisoft xvid converter, divx converter, and a ton more (my computer is probably loaded with malware at this point).
I have done 9+ long hour conversions for 1 video x8 days in a row hoping by the time I get home move it to an external HD it would play only to be let down with a read question mark in the media player. Even when I find a program that can save it as a *.avi I am assuming the codec still isnt correct (gspot mentions xvid, but then afterwards it shows 264)
Can someone tell me what program will convert it to a readable format with good quality. Size is not an issue as the external is 1TB.
Here is what GSpot tells from a movie that does work:
Video:
Codec: xvid
Name: Xvid ISO MPEG-4
Audio
Codec 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3
Container:
File Length Correct
AVI v1.0
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=504
Audio frames: split across interleaves
Video: 4.32 MB (85.35%)
Audio: 717 KB (13.83%)
AVI Overhead: 42.2 KB (0.81%)
The differences I can tell when trying to watch the working videos on the media player vs non working videos on it, is that it shows "MPEG-4" for working videos, but shows NOTHING for the red "?"
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I do not know what you have, but when Google "CiragoTV-Mini or PRO", they all support MPG2 VOB files which is a DVD. So any DVD you rip to your external HD should play through that box. Check manual.
If you insist on conversion to XviD or DivX check this
